On Sunday, Broncos quarterback Teddy Bridgewater was taken out of Empower Field in Denver after he was knocked unconscious during a game. The team says Bridgewater is “highly unlikely” to play this weekend and his return this season is in doubt as well. Drew Lock is expected to start on Sunday, but Bridgewater’s injury opens up an opportunity further down the depth chart.
On Tuesday, the Broncos tried out eight players, including former WSU quarterback Anthony Gordon. Later that day, the team officially added Gordon to their practice squad. He is expected to be the emergency quarterback for Sunday’s game against the Raiders behind Lock and Spokane native Brett Rypien.
