SALT LAKE CITY – Former Utah Utes and current Denver Broncos wide receiver Tim Patrick was carted off the field after suffering a leg injury, according to multiple reports.
Patrick reportedly suffered the injury during Denver’s training camp on Monday, July 31.
The former Utah wideout missed all of the 2022 season with a knee injury.
“Potential big injury in Denver. Second play of 7/7 #broncos WR Tim Patrick went down with a non contact injury coming off the line,” NFL Network’s James Palmers tweeted. “He threw his helmet immediately. Looks like they were looking at his lower left leg. He is now being carted off.”
