Royce Freeman may be the Denver Broncos’ starting quarterback on Sunday.
Yes, you heard that right. The Denver Broncos do not have a quarterback on the roster eligible to play against the New Orleans Saints in Week 12. Third-string quarterback Jeff Driskel tested positive for COVID-19 on Friday and on Saturday, the team’s remaining quarterbacks, Drew Lock, Brett Rypien and practice squad QB Blake Bortles were all pulled from the practice field due to concerns over contact tracing.
