Retires from AFL
Patton announced his retirement from the AFL during the week, according to the Guardian.
ANALYSIS
Patton had yet to play this season as the club investigated his behavior, and enough had transpired to see him quit the AFL altogether. He was a former first pick in the 2011 draft who only played in six games during the 2020 season.

Off injury list
Patton (calf) has been removed from the Hawks' injury list.
ANALYSIS
Patton last took the field Aug. 27 versus Essendon, when he tore his plantaris tendon. Fortunately, it appears the issue isn't as bad as initially suspected and he should be available for selection should the Hawks need another body.

Suffers torn plantaris tendon
Patton sustained a torn plantaris tendon and will likely sit out the rest of 2020, Mitch Cleary of the AFL's official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Patton dealt with a hamstring injury earlier in the month, and less than five minutes into Thursday's loss to Essendon, the 27-year-old left with a more serious injury. It's positive news that he didn't rupture his Achilles, but Patton likely won't return this season.

Suffers calf injury in loss
Patton injured his calf in the first quarter of Thursday's loss to Essendon.
ANALYSIS
Patton didn't even last five minutes and will be disappointed to leave so soon after just recovering from a hamstring injury as well. He'll await scans to determine the extent of the problem, but he could potentially be out for the rest of the season.

Takes part in scratch match
Patton (hamstring) played in Hawthorn's scratch match against West Coast over the weekend.
ANALYSIS
Based on the highlights, Patton appeared to have a fairly strong game for the Hawks. Given his extended absence, it's not a surprise the team elected to give him at least one match with the scratches, though it's no guarantee he will be back in the lineup immediately next round either. in any event, the hamstring issue seems to be a thing of the past.

Set to miss one month
Patton (hamstring) is expected to miss the next four weeks, The Agereports.
ANALYSIS
Patton was forced out of Friday's loss to Collingwood due to a hamstring injury, which further scans diagnosed as a strain which carries a four-week recovery timetable. The 27-year-old has a significant injury history, including three ACL tears, so it's somewhat encouraging to see that he'll be able to rejoin the Hawks in a month. He also battled a foot injury earlier this season.
