The Denver Broncos are a bit thin at quarterback.
According to James Palmer of NFL Network, backup quarterback Paxton Lynch will miss several weeks with a right shoulder sprain, with rest and recovery as the cure.
Keep an eye on what Broncos do at QB before the season. I’m told Paxton Lynch will be out a few weeks because of right shoulder sprain

Paxton Lynch will miss this Thursday’s game and then a few weeks I’m told. Rest and recovery is really what is needed.

Lynch lost out on the Broncos’ starting job, but this means things could get a bit hairy if something happens to Trevor Siemian. They almost certainly won’t go out and get anyone if they don’t need to, so expect rookie Kyle Sloter to be Siemian’s backup for the foreseeable future.
