On Monday afternoon, Broncos Head Coach Vic Fangio announced that Joe Flacco is injured and will miss time. Fangio said, “Joe’s not going to play this week. He’s got a disc or neck injury and he’ll definitely miss this week. Then we’ll reevaluate after the bye and see where it’s at.”
Brandon Allen was announced as the starter against the Browns. The coaching staff will also make a decision between Drew Lock and Brett Rypien as the backup quarterback.
Allen who is 27 years old and in his 3rd season, will take his first regular season snap this Sunday at Empower Field at Mile High.
