Detroit waived Patrick without any injury designation Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Patrick passed his physical prior to the transaction, Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com reports. That means not only that he's healthy, but also that he'll move on to free agency if he's not claimed during the current waiver period.

The Lions waived Patrick (undisclosed) with a injury designation Thursday, Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Patrick was dropped from Detroit's roster after the team also signed offensive lineman Darrin Paulo in a corresponding move Thursday. The linebacker was placed on the Lions' active/NFI list Sunday, and he will revert back to this list if he passes through waivers unclaimed.

Patrick (undisclosed) was placed on the active/non-football injury list Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Patrick joined the Lions in May after spending all of last season on injured reserve with the Broncos. He was expected to compete for a depth role in the Lions' linebacker unit, but any missed practice time could lower his chances of making the squad.

Patrick signed a contract with the Lions on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Patrick has returned to health from a leg injury suffered during the summer of 2021 and will look to carve out a role in Detroit. He's been used primarily on special teams during his two seasons in the NFL, and he logged 235 snaps on special teams in 13 games with the Rams in 2020.

Patrick (leg) cleared waivers and reverted to Denver's injured reserve Monday, NFL reporter Aaron Wilson reports.
EDGE Analysis
Patrick was waived/injured by the Broncos after being carted off the practice field last week, so it's not much of a surprise he went unclaimed on waivers. The 23-year-old will spend the entire 2021 campaign on injured reserve unless he reaches an injury settlement with Denver.

Patrick (leg) was waived by the Broncos on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Patrick's spot on Denver's roster was already in jeopardy, but he was carted off the field Tuesday and will now be let go. The specifics of his injury still aren't clear, but he'll have to search for a new team ahead of training camp. The 23-year-old has mostly played special teams during his two-year career and has recorded five tackles (four solo).

Patrick was carted off the practice field Tuesday at mandatory minicamp with an apparent leg injury, Troy Renck of Denver 7 News reports.
EDGE Analysis
The specifics of the injury remain unclear, but any potential absence in training camp would be significant for Patrick. The 23-year-old totaled three tackles in 13 games with the Rams last year before being claimed off waivers by the Broncos in January.

Patrick joined Denver's roster Monday after being claimed off waivers Jan. 8, Aric DiLalla of the team's official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Rams cut bait with the 23-year-old linebacker heading into the team's wild-card matchup at Seattle after he had accumulated three tackles in 13 regular-season games. The Broncos quickly acquired Patrick in an effort to boost depth within its linebacker and special-teams units, but the move couldn't become official until the conclusion of the Super Bowl. Over 25 appearances for Los Angeles the past two years, the former Georgia Bulldog fielded just 16 total defensive snaps.

Patrick (groin) was waived by the Rams on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Patrick has been in-and-out of the organization all season, and he very well could come back into the picture should Los Angeles advance past Seattle into the NFC divisional round. He's played in 13 games for L.A. this season but has yet to field a single snap on the defensive side of the ball.

Patrick was signed to the Rams' active roster from the practice squad Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
The 23-year-old spent most of the first half of the season on the active roster before being waived in early November, and he's now back up from the practice squad. Patrick has exclusively played special teams this season and figures to have a similar role now that he's back.
