Denver Broncos sent quarterbacks home over coronavirus concerns

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- The Denver Broncos sent the two quarterbacks on their active roster, Drew Lock and Brett Rypien, as well as practice squad quarterback Blake Bortles home from Saturday's practice over concerns in COVID-19 contact tracing, sources told ESPN.

The three quarterbacks, who were on the field during an open viewing period at the start of practice, were pulled from the workout before it was finished, sources told ESPN. All three have taken additional POC tests since Thursday and all three have come back negative so far.

The Broncos are scheduled to face the New Orleans Saints on Sunday at Empower Field at Mile High.
