It's been a difficult two years for former Ute Tim Patrick. But after recovering from two serious injuries, Patrick is back and ready to help the Denver Broncos.
For five hours after a fire flash of pain shot up his heel, ending the second straight season of his pro career before it began,“It was probably the most down I’ve ever been,” the Denver Broncos’ veteran wide receiver said Friday, speaking to reporters for the first time since suffering a season-ending injury in camp one year ago this week.
Now he’s a 30-year-old who hasn’t played in an NFL game since Jan. 8, 2022. He’s learning a new offense, adjusting to new quarterbacks and trying to re-establish his rhythm as a player. Patrick was in Denver last season as he worked through another long rehab, but he wasn’t spending that time diving into the scheme. His focus had to be more singular.
“It’s just those intangibles,” coach Sean Payton said in June when explaining the decision to keep Patrick on the roster. “I do know and obviously have seen healthy tape. Granted, I wasn’t here, but I kind of have an idea or vision for the player. Then, all the other things that he brings relative to his competitiveness, his versatility. He’s a great teammate. I think he’s an important part of the locker room, so it’s good to see him more and be smart with that.
