According to NFL Network analyst Mike Garafolo, the Denver Broncos plan to waive wide receiver K.J. Hamler with a non-football injury designation. Hamler recently tweeted out that he is being treated for a heart condition and Garafolo is reporting that he figures to miss weeks, not months, but the injury is not considered overly serious.
He continues by saying the transaction is purely procedural and designed with an eye toward bringing him back once he is cleared and ready to play again. The team simply needed a roster spot with Patrick now missing the year and Hamler being sidelined for weeks because of this condition.
