5 NFL stars likely to miss entire 2022 season to injury ft. Malcom Butler

#3 - Tim Patrick, Denver Broncos

Tim Patrick has spent all four seasons of his NFL career with the Denver Broncos. He has been a key piece of their offense over the last two seasons, recording 104 receptions for 1,476 yards and 11 touchdowns.

Patrick was projected to take another step forward this season, especially with the addition of quarterback Russell Wilson. He will unfortunately have to wait another year before getting back on the football field. He tore his ACL during training camp and will be forced to miss the entire 2022 NFL season.

#4 - Malcolm Butler, New England Patriots

Malcolm Butler is a legend for the New England Patriots. He spent the first four years of his career with the team, where he helped them win two Super Bowl rings. He is best remembered for his interception at the goal-line late in the fourth quarter of Super Bowl XLIX. That last-gasp interception resulted in a victory for the Patriots, consigning the Seattle Seahawks to defeat.

After spending the last four years away, mostly with the Tennessee Titans, Butler has made his return to New England. He re-signed with the team during this offseason, but suffered a season-ending injury.

#5 - Jakeem Grant, Cleveland Browns

Jakeem Grant is one of the best kick and punt returners in the entire league. He has scored six return touchdowns during his career while being selected as a second-team All-Pro in each of the last two seasons.
