ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- In the on-field scenario many in the league feared the most with the COVID-19 pandemic, the Denver Broncos plan to play the New Orleans Saints on Sunday with no available quarterbacks for the game.
The Broncos' three eligible quarterbacks -- Drew Lock, Brett Rypien and Blake Bortles -- were each deemed to be a "high-risk" close contact to quarterback Jeff Driskel, and none of the three can be in uniform for Sunday's game, sources told ESPN.

(28,836 posts)The situation is very temporary. I'd prefer that Kaepernick get more than a one-week contract somewhere.
It's also highly unlikely they could sign him by tomorrow.

(29,982 posts)The team is missing out on 3 QBs because of COVID.
Though people are right the longer this goes on the more rust Kaepernick develops but I have seen the Arizona Cardinals bring back Ryan Lindley for a playoff game! Ryan Lindley is the worst QB I have seen to get so much playing time.
