On Tuesday the Denver Broncos took to the field at Dove Valley in their second week of practice donning full pads for the first time this training camp.
Broncos wide receiver Timothy Patrick who has emerged as one of Denver’s top receivers went down on Tuesday after coming down awkwardly after a leaping catch from quarterback Russell Wilson. Patrick was then carted off the field surrounded by trainers and followed by Broncos general manager (GM) George Patton.
Patrick signed a three-year, $34 million contract extension after solidifying the number two spot behind Cortland Sutton last season. No word (by the time of this writing) on Patrick’s injury and he is expected to undergo an MRI and further testing.
On Tuesday is was also announced that F1 Superstar Lewis Hamilton has joined the Denver Broncos ownership group. Hamilton had this to say about his latest venture via twitter, “Excited to join an incredible group of owners and become a part of the @Broncos story!! Honoured [sic] to work with a world-class team and serve as an example of the value of more diverse leadership across all sports.”
Lewis currently holds the record for F1 titles along with Michael Schumacher at seven apiece and he also holds the F1 record for wins at 103.
In other sports the Colorado Avalanche free agent Nazem Kadri has still not decided if he will be joining the team for their 2022-23 campaign; however, the rumor-mill has been heating up with talks of Kadri joining the New York Islanders. While no word has hinted as to where the Center will end up, the Avs will definitely miss him should he decide to move on from Colorado.
