On Wednesday, Broncos general manager and president of football operations John Elway told KOA Radio (h/t Andrew Mason of DNVR) that Allen and Lock would split the practice reps this week. Troy Renck of Denver7 News reported that Lock saw an increase in reps on Wednesday and that it was "his job to lose."
