Broncos QBs tried to fool COVID system in 2020 but were caught on surveillance

Do you recall the Denver Broncos having to start a practice-squad wide receiver at quarterback against the New Orleans Saints last season?

Broncos fans might have tried long and hard to forget that one, in which Kendall Hinton, who played some quarterback in college, admirably stepped in at QB for Denver but completed only 1 of 9 passes for 13 yards with two interceptions in a 31-3 shellacking at home.

It looked at first that the NFL was bending over backward for the Baltimore Ravens, who also endured major COVID-related roster issues that week and had their game pushed to the middle of the week, but not so much for Denver.
