Patrick (shoulder) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Vikings, Kyle Newman of The Denver Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

This is a tough break for Patrick, who was just activated off injured reserve Friday. He headed to the locker room to get extra treatment, and it's unclear how Patrick picked up the injury. In the meantime, Diontae Spencer and Fred Brown are the receivers to likely see a bump in snaps.

The Broncos will activate Patrick (hand) from injured reserve Friday, Nicki Jhabvala of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Patrick's spot on the 53-man roster comes after cornerback Bryce Callahan (foot) was moved to IR in a corresponding move. The second-year wideout is trending toward suiting up against the Vikings on Sunday, in which case he'll compete for the No. 2 or No. 3 receiver gig behind top option Courtland Sutton.

Coach Vic Fangio said Wednesday that Patrick (hand) is "likely" to suit up for Sunday's contest against the Vikings, Mike Klis of 9News Denver reports.

EDGE Analysis

Patrick returned to practice Oct. 30 and now appears to be nearing the finish line in his recovery from left hand surgery. Before Patrick can be cleared to play Week 11, the Broncos will need to activate him from injured reserve and add him to 53-man roster by Saturday's deadline to do so. Once Patrick is in the fold for Denver, he'll compete for the No. 2 or No. 3 receiver spot behind Courtland Sutton.

Patrick (hand) will return to practice Wednesday, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Patrick started catching the football Monday, and after the Broncos were pleased how he looked in that workout, he'll now get back on the practice field. His presence at practice officially makes him one of two players the Broncos are able to designate for a return from IR, though he won't be eligible for reinstatement to the 53-man roster until the Week 11 game versus the Vikings. Once he's back in the fold, Patrick could slot in as second or third option at receiver if can beat out DaeSean Hamilton, Fred Brown, Diontae Spencer and Juwann Winfree. Over the final four games of 2018, Patrick notched 19 receptions for 242 yards.

Patrick (hand) started catching the football Monday, although it's not clear when he will return to practice, Mike Klis of 9News Denver reports.

EDGE Analysis

General Manager John Elway has already stated Patrick will be one of the Broncos' two players designated to return from injured reserve, and the fact he's able to catch signals he's on the brink of returning to practice. He won't be eligible to play until after the Broncos' Week 10 bye, but there could be a respectable workload available for him once he's healthy after the Broncos traded Emmanuel Sanders to the 49ers. In four games following Sanders' Achilles injury last season, Patrick flashed his potential by posting 19 receptions for 242 yards. However, he'll compete with DeSean Hamilton, Fred Brown, Diontae Spencer and Juwann Winfree for the No. 2 or No. 3 spot behind Courtland Sutton.

General manager John Elway has announced that Patrick (hand) will be one of the Broncos' two players to return from injured reserve after the team's Week 10 bye, Nicki Jhabvala of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Patrick hadn't recorded a reception before breaking his left hand in Week 1. Though he had a relatively quiet offseason, his play down the stretch last year, DaeSean Hamilton's early struggles, and the recent trade of Emmanuel Sanders to San Francisco all point to a relatively expansive role once he returns. Unless Hamilton or another young receiver, such as rookie Juwann Winfree, really turn things up in the next two weeks, WR2 is not a stretch for Patrick.

Patrick (hand) is expected to begin practicing next Week, Troy Renck of Denver 7 News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Patrick is nursing a fractured left hand, and he should be back to full health by the time he's eligible to return Week 11. Of course, it's worth bearing in mind that the Broncos may not opt to spend one of two available return designations on Patrick, with Drew Lock (thumb), Theo Riddick (shoulder) and Jake Butt (knee) also candidates to be activated.

The Broncos will place Patrick (hand) on injured reserve Wednesday, Mike Klis of 9News Denver reports.

EDGE Analysis

Denver will re-sign River Cracraft to bolster its depth at receiver while Patrick recovers from a fractured left hand. Patrick, who suffered the injury in Monday's loss to the Raiders, will undergo surgery in the near future, but the Broncos aren't closing the door on him being one of two players who returns from their IR this season. The transaction means that Patrick won't be eligible to rejoin the 53-man roster for at least eight weeks, leaving the Nov. 17 game against the Vikings in Week 11 as his earliest possible return date.

Patrick will undergo surgery to address his fractured left hand, Nicki Jhabvala of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Patrick is expected to play again this season, but the Broncos are weighing whether or not put him on short-term injured reserve, per Mike Klis of 9News Denver. The 25-year-old would be eligible to return after eight games if he is moved to IR. Juwann Winfree is expected to work as the team's No. 4 wide receiver in the meantime.

Patrick suffered a broken hand in Monday's loss to the Raiders and will see a hand specialist in the near future, Mike Klis of 9News Denver reports.

EDGE Analysis

Patrick was spotted with a cast after Monday's game. It's unclear how much time the 25-year-old will miss, but he will definitely miss some weeks. While he's sidelined, both Juwann Winfree and Diontae Spencer likely will see increases in work.
