Overview

• Zac Taylor said Patrick is expected to miss “a couple weeks,” while ESPN described the absence as at least one game and likely multiple.
• Patrick exited early in the second quarter after 16 offensive snaps with a right calf injury in Sunday’s 17-16 win at Cleveland.
• Dalton Risner handled the final 36 snaps at right guard after signing on Aug. 28 and participating in only two padded practices.
• Taylor acknowledged Patrick had been dealing with unspecified issues during training camp.
• The staff will evaluate depth and potential roster moves, and Taylor said the seven-yard second half reflected overall execution rather than the line change alone.
