A former Denver Broncos special teams player has reached a settlement after filing a lawsuit over a season-ending knee injury he suffered during a game in 2022.

TMZ Sports broke the story -- Aaron Patrick tore his ACL in overtime of the Broncos and L.A. Chargers' "Monday Night Football" contest at SoFi Stadium after stepping on a mat in order to avoid colliding with an NFL official positioned on the sidelines.

The mat was placed on the turf to cover cords and cables for the league's instant replay monitors ... but Patrick claimed his foot got caught in it, causing his knee to bend awkwardly.

Former actor Gideon Jacobs was just 11 years old when he played Aaron -- the smart young camper who gives Gail, played by Molly Shannon, advice about men -- in 2001's satirical comedy, "Wet Hot American Summer."

In addition to acting alongside Molly Shannon, Jacobs shared the big screen with Michael Showalter as the cheesy comedian from the Catskills, Alan, Paul Rudd as the cool counselor at Camp Firewood, Andy, and Amy Poehler as the choreographer for the camp's talent show, Susie.

Today, Aaron writes for publications like The New York Times and The New Yorker.
