Denver Broncos coach Vic Fangio announced the team fined starting quarterback Drew Lock and the other quarterbacks on the roster for violating COVID-19 mask protocol.
Jeff Driskel tested positive for coronavirus on Nov. 26. Lock, backup Brett Rypien and practice-squad quarterback Blake Bortles were all deemed high-risk close contacts and placed on the COVID-19/Reserve list.
The four quarterbacks had not been consistently wearing masks in their position meetings. They reportedly gathered in the QB room on Nov. 25 to watch film.
They were ineligible for their 31-3 loss against the Saints on Sunday. Practice squad wide receiver Kendall Hinton was the lone emergency quarterback.
