Tim Patrick leaves Broncos practice with apparent knee injury

On the first day of fully padded practice, the Denver Broncos suffered a huge injury.

Tim Patrick, one of the team’s more consistent wide receivers, went down with a knee injury. He was carted off the field.

Broncos Insider Mike Klis reported Tuesday afternoon that Patrick has torn his ACL and will miss the entire 2022 season.

Patrick caught 53 passes for 734 yards and five touchdowns last year.

3 to 81. Makes a nice deep catch and goes down holding right knee. Entire practice stops out of respect. “You guys can go holler at Tim if you want to”. Entire team goes over. Doesn’t look good.

Cart out for Tim Patrick. Entire team coming over to him as he is treated. This looks bad.

Oh no. Tim Patrick is down at Broncos practice and in a lot of pain. Grabbed at his lower body immediately. Surrounded by trainers.

Team is surrounding Patrick. Golf cart coming over. These are injuries you really fear. Dove Valley has gone silent.

Tim Patrick just went down. Landed awkwardly after a catch from Wilson. Lost the ball as he fell. Teammates surrounding him as he is treated.

Tim Patrick was helped into the building after being taken off the field via cart. Favoring the right leg. Was trying to put weight on it. A palpable pall cast over #BroncosCamp.
