The timeline for Broncos’ quarterback Drew Lock‘s return from a sprained thumb is expected to last “a little bit of time,” coach Vic Fangio told reporters before practice on Wednesday.
“He sprained his thumb and obviously as a quarterback your right thumb is pretty critical,” Fangio said. “It will be some time.”
Lock is expected to miss the start of the regular season. Fangio added there are currently no plans on adding another quarterback to the roster “right now” and that Brett Rypien will “probably” have an opportunity to compete for the backup spot with Lock out.
