ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- The Denver Broncos' depth chart at wide receiver took a significant hit Monday.
KJ Hamler announced on his Instagram account he has been diagnosed with a "mild heart irritation, called pericarditis.'' He said he would miss some time but intended to be back on the field this season after treatment with medication.
The news came after Tim Patrick, who missed the 2022 season with a torn right ACL, was carted off the field during Monday's practice and is believed to have a season-ending torn Achilles tendon in his left leg, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter on Monday.
