ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- At 3-7 with six games to play, Denver Broncos coach Vic Fangio said Wednesday it is "not vitally important" for rookie quarterback Drew Lock to play in any games this season as part of Lock's developmental curve. Fangio also said he likes what Brandon Allen has done behind center so far.
Lock did not practice for 12 weeks after suffering a right thumb injury in an Aug. 19 preseason game and is in the second week of a three-week window when the Broncos must decide to either keep him on injured reserve or move him to the roster.
