Broncos WR Tim Patrick's journey has never been easy. He hopes his return from torn Achilles is another chapter to his story: “It's always been hard for me”

When asked how it felt to be back at training camp after back-to-back season-ending injuries, the Broncos wide receiver smiled as it took him a moment to collect his thoughts. Around this time last year, Patrick pondered the possibility that his football career and duties of addressing reporters were over. The five hours after his painful scream echoed across the practice field were the lowest of his career, Patrick said. Initially, Patrick's goal was to return before the end of the 2023 season.
