Two weeks ago, there was some buzz that the Broncos might consider adding a “quarantine quarterback” to have available in case one or more of Denver’s quarterbacks catch COVID-19 this season.
After practice Thursday, Broncos coach Vic Fangio seemingly shot down that possibility.
“I don’t think it’s necessary to be honest with you,” Fangio said. “Plus, it has to be with the right guy, somebody that has experience in your system that if the emergency happens you have them there.
“I don’t think — our quarterbacks have been meeting together all camp. They’re socially distanced like they should be. I think most teams are doing that. There hasn’t been an issue so far, knock on wood.”
Drew Lock will serve as Denver’s starter this season with Jeff Driskel backing him up. Brett Rypien will likely serve as QB3, but it remains to be seen if he’ll be on the 53-man roster or 16-man practice squad.
