Patrick (shoulder) was limited in Wednesday's practice, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Patrick managed to play through his shoulder injury during Week 12's loss to the Bills, during which he caught one of three targets for three yards. The 26-year-old will look to bounce back against the Chargers on Sunday and work to establish better chemistry with whichever of Drew Lock (thumb) or Brandon Allen starts under center.

Patrick caught one of three targets for three yards during Sunday's 20-3 loss in Buffalo.

EDGE Analysis

Patrick helped covert the Broncos' first third-down of the game during the team's opening drive, hauling in a third-and-short pass right at the sticks. The Broncos converted just one more third down for the remainder of the game. Patrick, just two games into his comeback from a broken hand, has been a key target on third and fourth down, but he -- and Denver's offense as a whole -- appears to have met his ceiling with Brandon Allen at quarterback. His value heading into Sunday's game against the Chargers likely depends on whether the Drew Lock era has begun.

Patrick (shoulder) is active Week 12 against Buffalo.

EDGE Analysis

After logging back-to-back limited practice sessions to end the week, Patrick was considered a likely candidate to suit up and attempt to build on his Week 11 performance of 4-77-0. That outing was Patrick's first game back from the injured reserve, and he quickly emerged as the secondary target to Courtland Sutton, playing 59 snaps (72.8 percent) and getting targeted eight times -- just over a fifth of Brandon Allen's total pass attempts. Patrick does have a tougher matchup ahead against Buffalo, however, as the Bills are giving up the eighth-least fantasy points per game to opposing wideouts in standard formats and have allowed the position to reach the end zone just four times all season.

Patrick (shoulder) is expected to suit up Sunday against the Bills, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports, per a source.

EDGE Analysis

Patrick was limited for much of the week, but it looks like he'll be ready to play after posting a 4-77-0 line on eight targets in last week's loss to the Vikings. With Emmanuel Sanders off to San Francisco and stud teammate Courtland Sutton likely to be shadowed much of the afternoon by top corner Tre'Davious White, Patrick could be in for a high-volume game.

Patrick (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bills after practicing in a limited fashion again Friday, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Patrick sat out Wednesday's practice before logging back-to-back sessions Thursday and Friday. If he does suit up for Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET contest, look for Patrick to continue to work as the Broncos' No. 2 wide receiver behind Courtland Sutton. In his return to game action this past weekend, Patrick -- who had fractured his left hand in Week 1 -- started opposite Sutton and hauled in four of his seven targets for 77 yards in a 27-23 loss to Minnesota.

Patrick (shoulder) returned to a limited practice Thursday, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Patrick sat out Wednesday's session, so his return to practice Thursday suggests that he's trending toward being active Sunday against the Bills. Look for Friday's injury report to either officially list him as questionable, or minus a Week 12 injury tag.

Patrick (shoulder) returned to practice Thursday, Mike Klis of 9News Denver reports.

EDGE Analysis

We'll see if Patrick is listed as a full or limited participant, but his return to practice Thursday, in any capacity, bodes well for his chances of suiting up and working as the Broncos' No. 2 wide receiver behind Courtland Sutton on Sunday against the Bills.

Patrick (shoulder) didn't practice Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

In his return to action in Week 11's loss to the Vikings, Patrick started opposite Courtland Sutton, en route to logging 57 of a possible 79 snaps on offense and catching four of his seven targets for 77 yards. He did leave the contest for a spell but was able to return, which suggests that his Wednesday absence could be maintenance-related.

Patrick caught four of eight targets for 77 yards during Sunday's 27-23 loss in Minnesota.

EDGE Analysis

The Broncos had yet to see anyone establish themselves as WR2 since the Emmanuel Sanders trade, but Patrick wasted no time making his case, linking up with Courtland Sutton for a 38-yard gain on a trick play in the first quarter. The Utah product continued to be a factor throughout the game, converting a key fourth down during Denver's final drive and was even targeted for what might have been a game-winning touchdown in the closing seconds on a play in which his face mask was grabbed. Given the lack of established targets in Denver's receivers room, Patrick's performance figures to bump him up the depth chart just in time for a very tough matchup against Buffalo's top-five-rated pass defense in Week 12.

Patrick (shoulder) returned to Sunday's game against the Vikings, Nicki Jhabvala of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Patrick missed a couple drives after injuring his shoulder in the first quarter, but he's fine going forward. The 25-year-old wideout hauled in a 38-yard pass from wide receiver Courtland Sutton before exiting, and he'll look to build off of that explosive play.
