Broncos' COVID-19 Tests Come Back Negative After Playing Without Eligible QB

The ' COVID-19 tests from Sunday came back negative a day after the team played without a quarterback in a 31-3 loss to the New Orleans Saints.

ESPN's Adam Schefter reported the result of the tests. The entire Broncos quarterback depth chart was ineligible for Sunday's game after Drew Lock, Brett Rypien and Blake Bortles had close contact with a COVID-19 positive person. Jeff Driskel was placed on the reserve/COVID list last week.

An NFL investigation found Lock, Rypien and Bortles had recently interacted with Driskel while none of them were wearing masks, a violation of league policy.
