Three catches in blowout win
Patrick caught three of four targets for 26 yards in Sunday's 52-6 win over the Jaguars.
Analysis: Patrick's three catches were his highest total since Week 6 versus Dallas while the four targets matched a season high for the 30-year-old. The wide receiver has carved out a spot as Detroit's No. 3 option behind Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jameson Williams, but opportunities are few and far between. On the season, Patrick has caught 15 of 19 targets for 203 yards over nine games.

No targets in Week 10
Patrick failed to garner a target in Sunday night's 26-23 win over the Texans.
Analysis: Patrick saw his workload go down in Week 10, as he played only 48 percent of the team's offensive snaps after seeing more than 70 percent in back-to-back games. The return of Jameson Williams from a two-game suspension dropped Patrick back into a depth role at wide receiver, although he posted just a 2-12-0 line on three targets in the two games Williams missed. Sunday marked the first time in eight games this season that Patrick failed to see a target.

Two receptions in Week 9
Patrick caught both of his targets for 12 yards in Sunday's 24-14 win over the Packers.
Analysis: Patrick was on the field for a season-high 42 offensive snaps in Week 9, but his production was limited. The wide receiver was unable to capitalize on Jameson Williams (suspension) being unavailable for two contests, catching just two of three targets over the last two weeks. With Williams set to return in Week 10 against the Texans, Patrick's window in which to make a fantasy impact has likely closed.

Two catches in Week 7
Patrick caught both of his targets for 25 yards in Sunday's 31-29 win over the Vikings.
Analysis: Patrick was able to record his third straight multi-catch performance in Week 7, though his 25 yards were his lowest total during that stretch. With the Lions' offense stacked with top-tier pass catchers like Amon-Ra St. Brown, Jameson Williams and Sam LaPorta, Patrick remains an uninspiring fantasy option heading into Week 8. The wide receiver has now caught 10 of 12 targets for 165 yards in five games with Detroit this season.

Three catches in win
Patrick caught all three of his targets for 68 yards in Sunday's 47-9 win over the Cowboys.
Analysis: Patrick has established himself as the No. 3 wide receiver for the Lions this season, setting season highs in catches and yards against Dallas. The 30-year-old has yet to find the end zone this year and he came up just short with an eight-yard reception in the second quarter, which was originally called a touchdown on the field before being overturned. Patrick has now compiled eight catches for 140 yards over four games with Detroit in 2024.

Two catches in Week 4
Patrick caught both of his targets for 54 yards in Monday's 42-29 win over the Seahawks.
Analysis: Patrick was officially signed off the practice squad last week, and he made the most of his limited opportunities in Week 4. He reeled in a 23-yard catch in the third quarter and then had a 29-yard reception in the fourth. Patrick's upside remains limited behind Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jameson Williams at wide receiver, but he has now compiled five catches on seven targets for 72 yards in three games this season.

Joins Detroit's active roster
The Lions signed Patrick to the active roster Tuesday.
Analysis: Patrick was elevated from the practice squad for each of Detroit's last two games, in which he caught three of five targets for 20 yards. He increased his workload to 50 percent of offensive snaps versus Arizona in Week 3, and it looks like Patrick has now officially surpassed Kalif Raymond as the Lions' No. 3 wide receiver. He'll look to make an impact behind Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jameson Williams during Monday's game against the Seahawks.

Goes back to practice squad
Patrick reverted to the Lions' practice squad Monday.
Analysis: For a second consecutive week, Detroit elevated Patrick from the practice squad, and he remained a regular in the offense. His snap share increased from 39 percent against the Buccaneers in Week 2 to 50 percent Sunday at Arizona, but his receiving output fell from 2-12-0 on four targets to one catch (on one target) for eight yards. Still, Patrick seems to be running as the Lions' No. 3 wideout behind starters Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jameson Williams, so he likely will make his way back to the…read more

Secures catch in win
Patrick reeled in his only target for eight yards in Sunday's 20-13 win over the Cardinals.
Analysis: Patrick was elevated from the practice squad for the second game in a row and failed to make a major splash versus Arizona. The 30-year-old operated as a distant No. 3 option at wide receiver behind Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jameson Williams, who combined for 11 targets. Patrick will look to earn another shot with the active roster, which could come as soon as Week 4 against the Seahawks on Monday Night Football.

Elevated for second time
Detroit elevated Patrick from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday.
Analysis: Patrick was elevated for the Lions' Week 2 game against the Buccaneers, during which he played 32 snaps on offense and caught two passes (on four targets) for 12 yards. The Lions will be able to elevate Patrick one more time following Sunday's game against the Cardinals, after which they would have to sign the 30-year-old wide receiver to the active roster should they wish for him to continue to play in Detroit.

Heads back to practice squad
Patrick reverted to the Lions' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Analysis: Sunday's loss to the Buccaneers marked Patrick's first game action since Jan. 8, 2022. Since then, he endured back-to-back season-ending injuries that wiped away the 2022 and 2023 campaigns entirely. Patrick played a modest 39 percent snap share and turned it into two catches (on three targets) for 12 yards, a workload that he may be able to sustain in the short term with WRs Amon-Ra St. Brown (lower leg) and Isaiah Williams (abdomen) tending to injuries at the moment.

Reels in pair of receptions
Patrick caught two of three targets for 12 yards in Sunday's 20-16 loss to the Buccaneers.
Analysis: Patrick was elevated to the active roster prior to Sunday's matchup, most notably reeling in a 10-yard catch in the second quarter. The Lions are thin at wide receiver behind Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jameson Williams, and it's possible that Patrick could emerge as a reliable option for the team. The wide receiver was let go by the Broncos in late August, and he's looking to carve out a consistent role for himself with Detroit.

Elevated from practice squad
Detroit elevated Patrick from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday.
Analysis: After failing to make the Broncos' 53-man roster at the conclusion of training camp, Patrick opted to sign with the Lions' practice squad Aug. 27. He will give Detroit depth at wide receiver after Isaiah Williams was ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bucs due to an abdominal injury. Patrick last appeared in 16 regular-season games for the Broncos in 2021 and finished with 53 catches (on 85 targets) for 734 yards and five touchdowns.

Joining Detroit's practice squad
Patrick is set to sign with Detroit's practice squad, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: The Broncos released Patrick on Tuesday after giving him a lot of work with their first-team offense throughout the summer, making him a free agent and eligible to sign with any team. He could perhaps challenge Kalif Raymond for the No. 3 receiver role in Detroit at some point this fall, but a return to fantasy relevance still feels like a longshot for a 31-year-old wideout coming off major, season-ending injuries in back-to-back years (ACL tear in 2022, Achilles' rupture in 2023). Even at his…read more

Let go by Denver
The Broncos released Patrick on Tuesday, Aric DiLalla of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: Despite the veteran wideout reportedly having had a solid training camp, the Broncos have parted ways with the 30-year-old, who's bouncing back from a pair of injury-plagued seasons. Patrick should catch on with another team looking for pass-catching depth in the coming days.

Stint with Denver about to end
The Broncos have informed Patrick that they plan to release him if they are unable to arrange a trade to send the wideout elsewhere, Parker Gabriel of The Denver Post reports.
Analysis: Patrick, who last saw regular-season action in 2021, appears to have moved past the serious injuries that derailed his last two campaigns. Despite the veteran wideout having had a solid training camp, the Broncos now seem poised to moved on from the 30-year-old. Patrick's looming departure should pave the way for Marvin Mims and Troy Franklin to see added opportunities alongside veteran pass catchers Courtland Sutton and Josh Reynolds.

First TD since Week 15 of 2021
Patrick caught all four of his targets for 30 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-2 preseason win over the Packers.
Analysis: All of Patrick's production came in two drives alongside rookie quarterback Bo Nix to start the game. Patrick accounted for half of Nix's eight completions, including a two-yard touchdown to cap both players' time in the game, which marked Patrick's first trip to the end zone in an NFL game since Week 15 of the 2021 season. Patrick finally looks healthy after missing the last two seasons due to a torn ACL followed by a torn Achilles, and he has a chance to carve out a prominent role in a…read more

Reels in one catch
Patrick caught his lone target for 14 yards in Sunday's 34-30 preseason win over the Colts.
Analysis: Patrick, who has not played in a regular-season game since 2021, made his return for the team's preseason opener Sunday. With last July's torn Achilles behind him, the veteran wideout played 11 snaps in the contest and reeled in his only target. Heading into the 2024 campaign, Patrick will look to get back to his role as a sure-handed, reliable playmaker in Denver's offense. However, he'll face competition for targets behind No. 1 receiver Courtland Sutton, as second-year speedster Marvin Mims…read more

Depth chart standing posted
Patrick is listed as a starter on the Broncos' initial unofficial depth chart, Parker Gabriel of the Denver Post reports.
Analysis: When it comes to preseason depth charts posted by NFL teams, listings often need to be taken with a grain of salt, and in the case of Denver's initial version, it's notable that no rookie (including QB Bo Nix) is listed higher than third-string. With regard to Patrick, it's encouraging that the 30-year-old -- who last saw regular-season action in 2021 -- appears to have moved past the serious injuries that derailed his last two campaigns. That said, it remains to be seen what his role might be…read more

Moves past injury
Patrick, who is moving past last summer's Achilles injury, looked healthy and sharp during the Broncos' mandatory minicamp this week, Jon Heath of the USA Today reports.
Analysis: The report notes that Patrick -- who sustained a torn left Achilles late last July -- was one of the team's standout performers during Tuesday's session. As the coming campaign approaches, it remains to be seen what Patrick's role in Denver's offense will be, especially given that the 30-year-old last saw regular-season action in 2021. With Jerry Jeudy no longer in the mix, however, the pecking order behind top wideout Courtland Sutton has yet to be determined, which sets the stage for Patrick…read more

On field for OTAs
Patrick (Achilles) is participating in Thursday's OTAs session, Nick Kosmider of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Patrick continues to work his way back from the left Achilles tear that cost him the entire 2023 season. As an ACL tear also wiped out his 2022 campaign, the 30-year-old wideout now hasn't suited up for an NFL game since 2021, and he likely would've been cut this offseason had he not agreed to a pay cut. Health permitting, there's opportunity for Patrick to carve out a role in Denver's wide receiver corps, which gets thin behind Courtland Sutton.

Accepts pay cut
Patrick (Achilles) and the Broncos have an agreement to alter his contract for 2024, Nick Kosmider of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: The first two seasons of Patrick's three-year, $30 million contract were wiped out by severe injuries during training camp -- an ACL tear in 2022 and then a torn Achilles' tendon in 2023. He's now 30 years old and entering the final year of the extension, so he presumably would've been released if he hadn't agreed to lower his $9.5 million base salary for 2024. While never a high-volume pass catcher, Patrick had 742 yards and six TDs on 79 targets in 2020 (64.6 percent catch rate, 14.5 YPC, 9.4…read more

Possible cap casualty
Patrick (Achilles) is a strong candidate to be released this offseason, Nick Kosmider of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Patrick has twice suffered season-ending injuries in training camp since signing a three-year, $30 million contract in Nov. 2021. He's now entering the final year of the deal and the 30-year-old has a non-guaranteed $9.5 million base salary for 2024. It is possible Patrick accepts a pay cut to stay in Denver and attempt his return from the torn Achilles tendon he suffered in August.

Analysis: Patrick is set to miss a second consecutive season after he suffered a torn Achilles' tendon in Monday's practice.

Reportedly tears Achilles
An MRI reportedly revealed that Patrick suffered a complete tear of his Achilles on Monday, according to Mike Klis of 9News Denver.
Analysis: Assuming Klis' report is confirmed, Patrick would be in line to miss the coming season, a context that represents a major hit to a Denver pass-catching corps that will also be without KJ Hamler (pectoral), who was waived with a non-football illness designation Monday. The duo's looming absence paves the way for 2023 second-rounder Marvin Mims to assume an expanded role alongside the team's top wideouts, Jerry Jeudy and Courtland Sutton.

Patrick is being evaluated for a left Achilles injury and is scheduled to get an MRI after exiting practice Monday, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.
Analysis: Patrick was carted off after suffering a non-contact injury Monday and needed crutches to get around the facility. Initial testing revealed an Achilles injury, and the MRI results should determine its severity.

Analysis: Patrick had been a full participant in team drills after having recently worked his way back from a torn ACL in his right knee that cost him the entire 2022 season. The wide receiver has sustained yet another injury early in training camp, but it's too early to determine the exact nature or severity of this injury, which isn't in the same leg as his previous one. Per Palmer, Patrick needed crutches to enter the facility after Monday's injury.

Analysis: Patrick suffered an ACL tear Aug. 2 and then had surgery Aug. 8, giving him 13 months to rehab before Week 1 of 2023. Broncos general manager George Paton said in late February that he expects Patrick to be 100 percent healthy for the start of the season, and it now sounds like the 29-year-old wideout may even manage some level of participation in spring practices.

However, the undrafted wideout out of Utah has made significant strides in his rehab and is currently able to do some running.

Analysis: The surgery was deemed a success, and Patrick now faces a long recovery period that should have him on track to be fully recovered around the start of OTAs in 2023. The lost season is a disappointment for the reliable wideout with the Broncos offense projected to take a major step forward with Russell Wilson at quarterback. In his absence, Courtland Sutton, Jerry Jeudy and KJ Hamler can expect to see even more opportunities in Denver's new look passing attack.

The additional salary cap room will allow Denver to remain active as the team looks to improve the roster heading into next season.

Paces pass catchers in loss
Patrick brought in six of 10 targets for 95 yards in the Broncos' 28-24 loss to the Chiefs on Saturday.
Analysis: Patrick made a remarkable return from a one-game absence on the COVID-19 list, leading the Broncos in receptions, receiving yards and targets. The strong effort was a strong turnaround for Patrick in what had been a lackluster second half of the season, and his production allowed him to set a new career high in receptions (53) while falling just eight yards short of the career-best 742 receiving yards he'd recorded in 2020.

Patrick (illness) was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday and isn't expected to play this Sunday against the Chargers, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official website reports.
Analysis: Assuming Courtland Sutton and Jerry Jeudy make it through the week healthy, the Broncos have Diontae Spencer and Kendall Hinton as options for the No. 3 receiver role. The possibility also exists that Denver hands more playing time to talented backup tight end Albert Okwuegbunam behind starter Noah Fant. Patrick might technically have a shot to return by Sunday, but Broncos head coach Vic Fangio doesn't expect that to happen.

In line to land on COVID list
Denver is expected to place Patrick on the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.
Analysis: Once Patrick is officially placed on the list, he'll need to either be deemed asymptomatic of the virus or turn in two consecutive negative tests 24 hours apart in order to make himself available for Sunday's game against the Chargers. If Patrick isn't cleared to play this weekend, Kendall Hinton would likely replace him as the No. 3 wideout behind Jerry Jeudy and Courtland Sutton.

Can't produce with four targets
Patrick caught two of four targets for 18 yards in Sunday's 17-13 loss to the Raiders.
Analysis: Patrick had a rough game, much like most of the Denver pass catchers. With Drew Lock under center, the team struggled to move the ball through the air and on the ground. The veteran wideout has continued to see steady playing time throughout the season, but his healthy snap counts haven't translated to consistent fantasy production. Regardless of whether Lock or Teddy Bridgewater (concussion) is starting at quarterback Week 17 against the Chargers, Patrick won't make for an appealing option.

Finds end zone in loss
Patrick caught three of four targets for 42 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 15-10 loss to the Bengals.
Analysis: Patrick's 25-yard touchdown grab on a pass from Drew Lock was the Broncos' only trip to the end zone against the Bengals. With the score, the veteran wideout now has five touchdowns on the season. The Broncos passing game has struggled throughout the year, but Patrick's usage is encouraging. He has seen five targets in his last three games, and in Week 15, played on 94 percent of Denver's offensive snaps. With that said, there's a strong chance that the Broncos' struggles through the air will…read more

Two grabs in win
Patrick secured two of five targets for 21 yards in Sunday's 38-10 win over the Lions.
Analysis: Patrick has done little over the past four games in the Broncos underwhelming passing attack, averaging two catches and roughly 17 yards over that stretch. It will be very difficult to rely on him in the fantasy playoffs, even in deep leagues, as the Denver passing offense continues to underwhelm. Patrick and the Broncos get a matchup against the Bengals in Week 15.

Quiet in loss
Patrick caught one of five targets for nine yards in Sunday's 22-9 loss to the Chiefs.
Analysis: Patrick struggled to get anything going against Kansas City, which is not surprising as the No. 3 wideout in a below average passing offense. He did, however, play the second-most offensive snaps of any Denver wide receiver. Patrick's 67 snaps were just one behind Courtland Sutton, but 11 snaps ahead of Jerry Jeudy. Even with his high snap percentage, Patrick is difficult to trust for fantasy purposes barring an injury to either Sutton or Jeudy. The Broncos will face the Lions in Week 14.

Does little against Chargers
Patrick caught two of three targets for 26 yards in Sunday's 28-13 win over the Chargers.
Analysis: None of the Broncos' big three wideouts reached 30 receiving yards in the game, as Denver's defense and running backs carried the day. Patrick has managed only five grabs for 40 yards over the last two games, a downturn he'll look to break out of in Week 13 against Kansas City.

Gets extension from Denver
Patrick and the Broncos agreed Friday on a three-year, $30 million contract extension, Mike Klis of 9News Denver reports.
Analysis: The deal includes $18.5 million guaranteed and is a nice early birthday present for Patrick, who turns 28 next week and hadn't previously had much financial security since entering the NFL in 2017 as a undrafted free agent out of Utah. He played his way on to Denver's Week 1 roster in 2018 and has emerged as a key cog in the team's pass-catching group over the past three-plus seasons.

Quiet in loss
Patrick secured three of his six targets for 14 yards in Sunday's 30-13 loss to the Eagles.
Analysis: After leading the Broncos in receiving in a Week 10 win over Dallas, Patrick crashed back down to earth with an underwhelming performance, though his six targets were tied for the second highest on the team. The veteran also played on 53 of the team's 58 offensive snaps, ahead of Jerry Jeudy (45) and just behind Courtland Sutton (55). Patrick has shown that he can be a reliable playmaker for Teddy Bridgewater, but a path to consistent fantasy production may not exist in Denver's offense with…read more

Active in Week 10
Patrick (knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Eagles, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.
Analysis: Patrick carried a questionable tag after finishing the week with two limited practices, but he'll be available in his No. 3 receiver role Sunday. The 27-year-old has seemingly benefited from less defensive attention the last two games with fellow wideout Jerry Jeudy back in action, as Patrick has produced a 7-149-1 line on eight targets over that span.

Questionable after limited practice
Patrick (knee) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Eagles, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.
Analysis: The Broncos have taken identical approaches with Patrick and tight end Albert Okwuegbunam, both of whom are dealing with knee injuries. Neither practiced Wednesday, but both the wide receiver and tight end have logged consecutive limited sessions since. If he suits up, Patrick will work as the Broncos' No. 3 receiver behind Jerry Jeudy and Courtland Sutton

Analysis: Patrick will take a step up from Wednesday, when he was listed as a non-participant on the Broncos' first Week 10 injury report. So long as he at least maintains limited activity during the team's final practice of the week Friday, Patrick should be in good shape to play Sunday against the Eagles.

Patrick didn't practice Wednesday due to a knee injury, Mike Klis of 9News Denver reports.
Analysis: Patrick exited at one point in Sunday's 30-16 win over the Cowboys, but the brief departure was attributed to cramping and he finished the game with four catches for 85 yards and a touchdown on five targets. A return to practice Thursday or Friday would put him on track to play this weekend against the Eagles.

Okay after injury scare
Patrick recorded four receptions on five targets for 85 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 30-16 win over the Cowboys.
Analysis: Patrick was among a number of Broncos to suffer potential injuries Sunday, though it turned out that he was only suffering from cramping, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports. While on the field, Patrick delivered a few big plays, highlighted by a 44-yard touchdown early in the second quarter. He has only eight targets combined between two games since the return of Jerry Jeudy, though Patrick has tallied 149 receiving yards in that span and proven to be a capable deep threat.…read more

Leads Broncos in receiving Sunday
Patrick caught all three of his targets for 64 yards in Sunday's 17-10 win over Washington.
Analysis: Despite the return of Jerry Jeudy to the lineup and the continued presence of Courtland Sutton, it was Patrick who led the Broncos in receiving yards. The three targets were a season low for the fourth-year receiver, but all three of Denver's top wideouts may need to step up in Week 9 against the Cowboys.

Catches two passes in loss
Patrick secured two of five targets for 16 yards in Thursday's 17-14 loss to the Browns.
Analysis: Patrick played on 94 percent of the the Broncos' offensive snaps, but he was essentially a non-factor Thursday night. The Denver offense had trouble getting anything going, which ultimately impacted Patrick's ability to produce for fantasy. Unfortunately for 27-year-old wideout, he is likely to see a drop in playing time and target share as fellow wide receiver Jerry Jeudy is set to return from his ankle injury that landed him on IR.

Records first TD since Week 2
Patrick hauled in three of five targets for 42 yards and one touchdown during Sunday's 34-24 loss to the Raiders.
Analysis: The Broncos responded to the Raiders' opening-drive touchdown with a TD of their own, a 23-yard connection between Teddy Bridgewater and Patrick. Otherwise, Patrick didn't do much in this contest, ranking far behind Courtland Sutton (14) and Noah Fant (11) in terms of targets.

Finishes second in receiving
Patrick caught seven of nine targets for 89 yards in Sunday's 27-19 loss to the Steelers.
Analysis: Courtland Sutton (ankle) stole the show offensively, but Patrick quietly churned out another solid performance as the Broncos' second starting wideout. The 27-year-old has done a good job filling in for the injured Jerry Jeudy (ankle) through five games, posting 22 receptions, 302 yards and two scores over that span. Patrick will receive another start while Jeudy remains on IR for at least another week.

Patrick caught three of six targets for 39 yards in Sunday's 23-7 loss to the Ravens.

With that said, the 27-year-old has found himself in a prime spot to be real contributor for the Broncos' offense, as injuries have forced him into the starting lineup alongside Courtland Sutton until Jerry Jeudy (ankle) gets healthy.

Locked in as starter for Week 4
Patrick and Courtland Sutton will serve as Denver's top wideouts until Jerry Jeudy (ankle) returns from injured reserve, while KJ Hamler (knee) is out for the season, Aric DiLalla of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: Jeudy is eligible to return as soon as Week 4, but he'll likely need more time to recover from a high-ankle sprain. While Patrick eventually will face a demotion to the No. 3 role, he's done well with modest volume thus far, catching 12 of 13 targets for 174 yards and two touchdowns on a 73.3 percent snap share through three games.

Patrick recorded five receptions on five targets for 98 yards in Sunday's Week 3 win over the Jets.
Analysis: Patrick flipped roles with Courtland Sutton, with Patrick serving as the primary deep threat in Week 3. He connected with Teddy Bridgewater for gains of 31, 27 and 24 yards, which accounted for the majority of his production. Patrick was held back from more significant volume by game script as Bridgewater attempted only 25 passes throughout the contest.

In last week's win over the Jaguars, Patrick managed three catches for 37 yards and a touchdown on four targets, while operating as the No. 2 wideout behind Courtland Sutton (12-159-0). With Jerry Jeudy (ankle) still on injured reserve, the 27-year-old is primed to once again handle an increased role Week 3, though his hip issue will warrant monitoring.

Patrick secured three of four targets for 37 yards and one touchdown in Sunday's 23-13 win over the Jaguars.
Analysis: With fellow wideout Jerry Jeudy landing on injured reserve due to a high ankle sprain, Patrick stepped in and played 74 percent of Denver's offensive snaps in Week 2. The receiver's TD was his second of the season, and it's clear that Teddy Bridgewater is building strong chemistry with Patrick.

Patrick secured all four of his targets for 39 yards and one touchdown in Sunday's 27-13 win over the Giants.
Analysis: After a 2020 season with zero drops, Patrick picked up where he left off, catching every pass that Teddy Bridgewater threw his way. The 27-year-old wideout was tied for third in targets with KJ Hamler, behind only Noah Fant and Jerry Jeudy.

Analysis: In and out of practice for the past few weeks, Patrick seems to be falling behind KJ Hamler, who caught two passes for 105 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's preseason opener against Minnesota.

At the time, coach Vic Fangio said the hamstring injury was "very, very minor," and there was no report of Patrick being limited earlier this week at the start of training camp.

Receives second-round tender
The Broncos extended a second-round tender to restricted free agent Patrick (foot) on Tuesday, Ryan O'Halloran of The Denver Post reports.
Analysis: Denver's decision likely will stop other organizations from extending Patrick an offer sheet, but the wide receiver fared well in his third pro season in 2020, turning 79 targets into 51 catches for 742 yards and six touchdowns. Furthermore, 23 of his 90 career receptions have gone for 20-plus yards, so he does boast field-stretching ability, despite mostly uneven quarterback play through three campaigns.

Furthermore, any bargaining team would have to surrender a second-round draft pick to the Broncos in order to acquire Patrick's services.

Catchless in loss
Patrick did not reel in either of his targets during Denver's 31-3 loss to New Orleans on Sunday.
Analysis: Patrick had a nice little groove going coming into Sunday, coming off three straight games with at least four catches and a 119-yard performance against Miami. Obviously, COVID-19 protocols threw a wrench into the works as the Broncos were forced to play undrafted rookie wide receiver Kendall Hinton at quarterback. It's hard to take much from a game like that, so attentions should be focused on Drew Lock's return to the lineup for Sunday night's matchup in Kansas City. Patrick tallied three…read more

Tops century mark in win
Patrick caught five of eight targets for 119 yards in Sunday's 20-13 win over the Dolphins.
Analysis: Most of his production came on the final play of the game, when on fourth down the Broncos elected to run out the clock with a play and it turned into a 61-yard reception for Patrick. It's the third time this season he's topped 100 receiving yards in a game, and he continues to see steady target volume heading into Week 12's clash with the Saints.

Ejected in fourth quarter
Patrick reeled in four of six targets for 61 receiving yards during Sunday's 37-12 loss to the Raiders. He and Las Vegas cornerback Isaiah Johnson were ejected in the fourth quarter for throwing punches.
Analysis: Despite the early exit, Patrick concluded the divisional loss sitting in a four-way tie for the team lead in receptions, producing his greatest receiving output since posting back-to-back 100-yard performances Weeks 4 and 6 against the Jets and Patriots. With Courtland Sutton (knee) set to remain on IR for the rest of the 2020 campaign, Patrick stands as the No. 2 wideout for Denver heading into a Week 11 matchup against Miami's 21st-ranked pass defense.

Sheds injury tag
Patrick (hamstring) does not carry an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Raiders, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.
Analysis: Patrick's hamstring injury limited him in practice this week, but he'll be available for quarterback Drew Lock in Las Vegas. Jerry Jeudy (shoulder) is officially listed as questionable, so it's possible that Patrick could see a slight uptick in offensive opportunities. He's only drawn less than five targets on two occasions this season.

Patrick (hamstring) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Troy Renck of Denver 7 News reports.
Analysis: After sitting out the Broncos' Week 8 win over the Chargers with the hamstring injury, Patrick was limited all week leading up to last Sunday's loss to the Falcons. He proceeded to suit up and played 60 of the Broncos' 73 offensive snaps, recording four receptions for 29 yards and a touchdown. Provided he didn't suffer a setback in that contest, Patrick should be ready to go for this weekend's game versus the Raiders.

Patrick corralled four of his nine targets for 29 receiving yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 34-27 loss to the Falcons.
Analysis: With Courtland Sutton (knee) having been placed on injured reserve Sept. 21 because of ACL and MCL tears in his left knee, Patrick has stepped into the No. 2 wide receiver role for the Broncos.

Analysis: After practicing on a limited basis throughout the week, Patrick will return to action after sitting out the Broncos' Week 8 win over the Chargers with the hamstring issue.

Questionable but expected to play
Patrick (hamstring) is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Falcons, but Broncos head coach Vic Fangio said Friday that he believes the wide receiver will be able to play, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.
Analysis: Patrick was sidelined for the Broncos' Week 8 win over the Chargers, but the wideout appears to be in improved health this week after practicing in a limited fashion Wednesday through Friday. Even if he's at less than 100 percent come Sunday, Patrick would offer some upside if he's able to suit up against a Falcons defense that's allowing over 300 passing yards per game.

While his seven-yard touchdown reception in the third quarter helped give Denver some breathing room after it was clinging to a 17-16 lead, Patrick's biggest grab of the night may have come on a 31-yard reception late in the fourth quarter that took the ball to the Jets' 22-yard line.

Analysis: Patrick has logged at least 65 percent of offensive snaps in each of the first two games, and with Sutton done for the season, that role should be locked down for the foreseeable future. However, he hasn't been very productive through two weeks with just six catches for 53 yards on 10 targets, and his five targets in Week 2 were surpassed by rookies Jerry Jeudy (eight) and KJ Hamler (seven).

Snags four passes in loss
Patrick caught four of five targets for 29 yards during Monday's 16-14 loss to Tennessee.
Analysis: Patrick was the elder statesman on the field Monday night as Courtland Sutton (shoulder) was held out. Patrick came up with a big 15-yard grab on second and long to set up Denver's fourth-quarter touchdown, but it was an otherwise quiet night, and things shouldn't get much louder once Sutton returns to the lineup. While young and inexperienced, Denver has a lot of skill players to try to get the ball to, and Patrick is probably no better than the fifth or sixth option in Drew Lock's arsenal.

Rookie speedster KJ Hamler (hamstring) is set to miss several weeks, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports. Hamler's absence provides less competition for Patrick, who has been working with the first team in camp.

Patrick did emerge late in the season as a nice No. 2 option behind Courtland Sutton, but he'll likely face some competition from inside and outside sources heading into the 2020 season.

Analysis: Patrick injured his hand early in Week 1's loss in Oakland and didn't return to action until Week 11 in Minnesota. He never came close to the 77 yards he picked up in that first game.

Though he hasn't put up big numbers, Patrick has routinely been a go-to target on third down since his return from a hand injury, and Sunday was no different with five of his seven targets coming on third or fourth down.

Before Patrick can be cleared to play Week 11, the Broncos will need to activate him from injured reserve and add him to 53-man roster by Saturday's deadline to do so. Once Patrick is in the fold for Denver, he'll compete for the No. 2 or No. 3 receiver spot behind Courtland Sutton.
