Wide receiver Tim Patrick will miss the 2023 season with a left Achilles tendon tear. The injury comes just a couple of days shy of the one-year anniversary of his 2022 ACL tear.
For the second straight year,The 29-year-old tore an Achilles during practice this week. Last year, aBroncos coach Sean Payton confirmed the season-ending injury Tuesday. Patrick was carted off the field and later underwent an MRI that confirmed the tear. The injury typically requires a minimum of eight months recovery time.
"He has an Achilles tear. I spoke to him last night. Of course, he’s disappointed," Payton said."My understanding is almost a year ago to the day [he suffered a season-ending knee injury]. I think the hard thing — and I said this yesterday — is for a player to spend most of his offseason rehabbing, and then, all of a sudden, hit another roadblock. He sounded better last night.
Denver Broncos wide receiver Tim Patrick catches the ball during training camp at the UCHealth Training Center in Englewood, Colo., July 27, 2022. "He’s tough-minded, and he’s a really good leader. The good news is it’s a clean injury, and there’s a better than likely 100% recovery. It’s pretty clean, relative to the type of surgery he’s going to have. I don’t have a date yet as to when that will take place, but that’s where we are at there."
Patrick's injury happened the same day the Broncos' wide receiver corps experienced another significant loss.
