It’s feared to be an Achilles injury for Broncos WR Tim Patrick, per Sean Payton

This likely means the end of the season for Tim Patrick. Mims will be the most intriguing name to be following throughout the rest of camp, and should be the favorite to find himself in 3WR sets.

Broncos WR K.J. Hamler recently underwent surgery after suffering a partially torn pec while training on his own. The recovery timeline is four to six months, giving Hamler a chance to be ready right around the start of training camp in late July.

Hamler was limited to just six games in 2022 while recovering from a knee injury and dealing with hamstring issues. You hate to see another injury setback to the 23-year-old but we'll see how this influences his future with the Denver Broncos.

The presumptive new WR3 after Tim Patrick's season-ending torn ACL was Hamler's first padded reps with Russell Wilson and the gang today.

There are a fair amount of mouths to feed within the Denver Broncos offense, but nonetheless, Hamler will have an opportunity to cut out a portion of the offense for himself as he returns from his own torn ACL that he suffered last season. A second-round pick in 2020, he has only seen the field in 17 career games, accruing a 35-455-3 stat line in the process.

Greg Dulcich seems to be doing a bit more at practice each day.

DiLalla wondered in his tweet if Dulcich could help fill the void left by Patrick. He went on to describe Dulcich as a "big-bodied guy with the speed and athleticism to split out away from the line of scrimmage," and he also added Dulcich "could be a sneaky good option to help fill that void." It could make sense, especially with Albert O expected to have a huge role at TE.

The worst is confirmed for Patrick, and he'll miss the 2022 season. Hamler should see an increased role as the team's WR3, but it could also mean more passing work for the RBs and TE Okwuegbunam.

The tweet said the entire team is huddled around him as he gets loaded onto the cart. We'll have to wait for more information but this doesn't sound good. Patrick was the team's WR3 behind Sutton and Jeudy. It could mean Hamler and Hinton get a chance at that spot if Patrick has to miss extended time.

Broncos WR K.J. Hamler told reporters that he had hip surgery to go along with his procedure to repair his ACL. Hamler said his hip popped out when he landed awkwardly.

Two-for-one on major surgeries for Hamler. The good news is he is well into his recovery process, but his workload will be monitored even more closely once he is back in pads.

The extensions mean the Broncos’ top four receivers — Patrick, Sutton, Jerry Jeudy and K.J. Hamler — are under contract through 2023.

And that fact could certainly help lure a veteran QB to Denver and jolt the Broncos back into relevancy like Peyton Manning did in 2012.

We eluded to this on Monday when the Sutton extension was announced. The story, however, worries about the team adding Aaron Rodgers, Deshaun Watson or Russell Wilson. While it's an upgrade over Bridgewater or Lock, all three come with baggage, of course. But mix in a running game and TE Noah Fant and the Broncos are certainly an attractive destination that could put the team over the top with a QB upgrade.

Jeudy’s designation allows him to return within the next 21 days with Week 7 or 8 looking like the most likely return date. John Brown will look to fill in the role of K.J. Hamler who was lost for the season.

Neither of these news items hold too much fantasy impact in the near term but owners should prepare for the return of Jeudy who was working as the Bronco’s WR1 before his injury.

It's another blow to the Denver offense which has already lost Jerry Jeudy. Courtland Sutton remains the WR1 but Tim Patrick and Diontae Spencer now move up the ranks to battle for the WR2 spot. Patrick should probably be targeted on wires this week as he finished with a nice 5-98-0 line despite a run-heavy attack in Week 3 against the Jets.
