ENGLEWOOD, COLO. — The Denver Broncos won’t have any of their four quarterbacks available Sunday when they face the New Orleans Saints because of coronavirus concerns, multiple people familiar with the NFL’s investigation told the Associated Press.
One source told the AP that starter Drew Lock, backup Brett Rypien and practice squad veteran Blake Bortles were deemed high-risk close contacts with No. 3 quarterback Jeff Driskel on Wednesday, the day before Driskel tested positive for COVID-19.
Another source, also speaking on condition of anonymity, said the four quarterbacks apparently weren’t wearing their masks the whole time they were together, as required by the league’s pandemic protocols.
