Broncos’ backup QB job still a big question mark for Fangio

As the Broncos prepare for their last preseason game Thursday against the Cardinals, and coaches begin cutting the roster from 90 to 53, one of the big question marks is still the quarterback position.

Not the starting QB, of course. But with Drew Lock - the second-round pick hoped to be the No.2 QB on the roster - sitting out indefinitely with a thumb injury, the backup job is up for grabs and Thursday’s game will be a major deciding factor.

And apparently - if you actually watched the preseason game on Saturday with rapt attention - you would have heard the rumor that the Broncos approached the 49ers about trading for one of their backup QBs.
