Former Denver Broncos wide receiver Tim Patrick appears to have a new team.

On Monday, we learned that Patrick would be getting cut by Denver . A day later, ESPN’s Adam Schefter and others reported that Patrick is expected to join the Detroit Lions.

Patrick would join the Lions’ practice squad and then have a shot to be promoted to the team’s active roster.

The 30-year-old receiver is looking to post his first stats in the NFL since 2021.

After a couple of middling seasons in 2018 and 2019, Patrick became a full-time starter in 2020 and 2021. He led Denver in receiving touchdowns (11) and receiving yards (1,476) during that two-year span.

Denver signed Patrick to a three-year, $30 million contract extension in 2021 as a result.

However, Patrick has yet to take the field since 2021. The veteran went down with a torn ACL during training camp in 2022. He suffered a similar fate the following year as he tore his Achilles before Week 1 of that season. Now it looks like he will try to catch on with Detroit.
