Breaking news: Denver Broncos veteran standout WR signs a blockbuster deal with Lions.
According to sources who spoke to ESPN, wide receiver Tim Patrick is anticipated to join the Detroit Lions practice squad. Patrick is expected to be placed on the practice squad, where he will have the chance to gain promotion to the active squad.
The Denver Broncos cut Patrick after deciding to reduce their roster to 53 players. Despite missing the previous two seasons due to injuries, the wide receiver made five catches for 44 yards and a touchdown in his full participation in the Broncos’ training camp and preseason games.
Following the news of Patrick’s departure, Broncos general manager George Paton said, “On behalf of everyone in the organization, I just can’t say enough great things about the type of player, the person, Tim Patrick while he has been a Bronco for the past seven seasons.”
next his 2022 season-ending ACL tear, Patrick sustained a torn Achilles tendon early in training camp, which kept him out of action the next year. Patrick has 143 receptions for 2,009 yards and 12 touchdowns in 55 career games.
