The Paxton Lynch Experience is officially underway in the Mile High City.
According to a report by Mike Klis of KUSA on Saturday, Lynch will be making his first career start under center on Sunday when the Denver Broncos face off against the Atlanta Falcons. The rookie quarterback is getting his number called with starter Trevor Siemian still dealing with a shoulder injury.
Though the team had been expecting that Siemian would be ready to go against Atlanta, Adam Schefter of ESPN adds that he is unlikely to be active at all on Sunday, leaving Austin Davis to take over backup duties behind Lynch.
Now unlikely Broncos' QB Trevor Siemian would be active Sunday, making Austin Davis the backup to Paxton Lynch, per source.

Lynch, 22, was drafted by the Broncos in the first round last April. Coaches and executives alike have raved about his development, so we’ll see what Lynch is made of against an Atlanta defense that has given up the second-most passing yards in the league this season (per ESPN).
