KJ Hamler announced on his Instagram account he has been diagnosed with a “mild heart irritation, called pericarditis.” He said he would miss some time but intended to be back on the field this season after treatment with medication. The Broncos waived Hamler with a non-football illness designation on Monday. Sources told ESPN the move was made to let him undergo treatment and potentially bring him back later if he is cleared.

The news came after Tim Patrick, who missed the 2022 season with a torn right ACL, was carted off the field during Monday’s practice and is believed to have suffered a season-ending torn Achilles tendon in his left leg, sources told ESPN’s Adam Schefter.

    Hamler and Patrick both can’t catch a break.

    Denver has so many WRs they’ll be fine…Jeudy/Sutton/Mims plus Dulcich/AlbertO is still a pretty stacked receiving corps. But both Hamler and Patrick were potential great comeback stories.
