The Broncos are benching Russell Wilson in favor of Jarrett Stidham.
The backup quarterback confirmed Wednesday that he’s in line to start this weekend for the Broncos, whose playoff odds decreased dramatically after a loss to the New England Patriots on Christmas Eve.
A source told The Post that Wilson is in the building as the team prepares for Sunday’s game against the Los Angeles Chargers and that he is in line to be active on game day and serve as the backup quarterback.
The move gives Denver a level of protection regarding a contract trigger that would complicate their decision-making over Wilson’s future in Denver.
