Patrick (groin) returned to practice Wednesday, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

EDGE 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. The two wide receivers are competing for the No. 3 role, though both are talented enough to earn some snaps from the fourth spot on the depth chart.
