Quick hits from the Broncos' Monday practice

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- A trip to the San Francisco Bay Area for a pair of practices and a game with the 49ers looms -- and few players will be under the spotlight more this week than second-year quarterback Paxton Lynch.

He will receive the starting assignment in Saturday's game after continuing to split first-team repetitions with Trevor Siemian throughout the week. Lynch is expected to play approximately one-and-a-half quarters, roughly the same amount as Siemian did with the No. 1 offense in last Thursday's preseason opener at Chicago.
