MRI Confirms Torn Achilles For Tim Patrick

An MRI exam on Monday revealed that Denver Broncos wide receiver Tim Patrick (Achilles) suffered a complete tear of his Achilles at training camp practice, according to a source. The team's worst suspicions were realized after Patrick suffered a non-contact injury at practice on Monday and had to be carted off the field. It's the second straight year he's suffered a season-ending injury at training camp after tearing his ACL in 2022. The 29-year-old was looking to come back strong this year as the No. 3 wideout behind Jerry Jeudy and Courtland Sutton, but that won't be happening now. KJ Hamler will miss several more weeks with a heart condition while also recovering from pectoral surgery, so rookie Marvin Mims Jr. could open his first NFL season in a starting role in three-receiver sets in Denver's new offense.
