Medical imaging revealed he suffered a torn left Achilles tendon during a 7-on-7 drill Monday, a source confirmed to The Post.On Wednesday, Patrick hits the one-year anniversary of tearing his right ACL in Denver’s fifth training camp practice. Instead of clearing hurdles and marching back toward helping Denver on the field this fall, though, he could be looking at another surgery and anot...

Read more Letters to the Editor.Bikes and hikinginherently incompatibleRe: “‘Flow Trail’ proposal highlights headwinds” (Page A1, July 10).This article about mountain biking in regional parks illustrates the inherent incompatibility of the sport with peaceful trail use by hikers, equestrians, disabled individuals and multicultural family groups.For decades, park district rules have allowed bike use on hundreds of miles of fire roads. But that is not sufficient access to satisfy the vocal cyclist lobby.The high school mountain bike teams quoted extensively in the article presumably wish to “sharpen their skills” on downhill trails, with banked curves to speed around and jumps to hop over.The park district assiduously avoids posting signs that advise everyone that the bike speed limit is 15 miles per hour. This is easily exceeded on now-ubiquitous e-bikes.One cyclist decries “Berkeley grumps” who seek to lim...
