It was a heartbreaking sight for Denver Broncos fans on Sunday when wide receiver Tim Patrick was carted off the field with a right leg injury. The injury occurred during the fourth quarter of the Broncos’ matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers.
Patrick was attempting to make a catch when he was tackled and his right leg got caught in an awkward position. He immediately grabbed his leg in pain and was attended to by medical staff. After being evaluated, it was determined that Patrick had suffered a serious injury and he was carted off the field.
The severity of Patrick’s injury is still unknown, but it is clear that it is serious enough to keep him out for an extended period of time. This is a huge blow for the Broncos, who have been relying heavily on Patrick this season. He has been one of their most productive receivers, recording 25 receptions for 315 yards and two touchdowns in eight games.
The Broncos will now have to find a way to replace Patrick’s production while he recovers from his injury. It’s a difficult task, but one that they will have to face if they want to remain competitive in the AFC West.
Injuries are always unfortunate, but they are especially difficult when they occur to key players like Tim Patrick. The Broncos will now have to adjust without him and hope that he can make a full recovery and return to the field soon.
