Denver Broncos quarterback Drew Lock will miss Sunday's game against the Dallas Cowboys due to COVID-19 protocols, the team announced.
Lock is the second Broncos player this week to be ruled out due to COVID-19 protocols as tight end Noah Fant tested positive on Tuesday and is on the reserve/COVID-19 list. Denver guard Netane Muti is also on the reserve/COVID-19 list after testing positive in October.
The Broncos have not said whether Lock had a positive test or was deemed a close contact.
With Lock sidelined, Brett Rypien will serve as the primary backup to starting quarterback Teddy Bridgewater.
