Trevor Siemian expected to start against Chargers
The Denver Broncos will have their starting quarterback back on the field when they take on the San Diego Chargers Thursday night.
ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports that Trevor Siemian is expected to start.
No big surprise, but Broncos' QB Trevor Siemian will start tonight vs Chargers after missing Sunday's game vs Falcons with shoulder injury.

Siemian missed last week’s game against the Atlanta Falcons, and the Broncos ended up suffering their first loss of the season. Rookie Paxton Lynch completed 23-of-35 passes for 223 yards, one touchdown and one interception in place of Siemian.
It should be noted that there was optimism Siemian would be able to play through his shoulder injury last week and he ended up sitting. However, it seems likely that the Broncos were playing it safe with the quick turnaround between Week 5 and Week 6.
