All of the Broncos’ quarterbacks are out of today’s game because one tested positive for COVID-19 and the others had close contact with them, and so Denver is taking drastic measures.

Kendall Hinton, a wide receiver on the practice squad, will be the Broncos’ starting quarterback today against the Saints.

Hinton was a high school quarterback who started two games at quarterback for Wake Forest as a true freshman in 2015. After that he spent three seasons as a backup quarterback before moving to receiver in 2019.

For his entire college football career, Hinton had 1,504 passing yards, a...

According to NFL.com, Hinton will play "plenty" against the Saints.

Here are three things to know about Hinton:

Left tackle Terron Armstead will be out for the game after testing positive for COVID-19 on Saturday, adding another crucial name to the Saints' injured list along with quarterback Drew Brees, left guard Andrus Peat and All-Pro returner Deonte Harris.

Meanwhile, the Broncos will have to get creative to even field an eligible team after all four of their quarterbacks on the roster were...

When Broncos backup quarterback Jeff Driskel first landed on injured reserve, coach Vic Fangio expressed confidence that Driskel’s condition wouldn’t knock out the team’s other quarterbacks.

“The other quarterbacks were only on there minimal amounts, like two minutes and some seconds — four minutes,” Fangio told reporters on Thursday. “That’s over a three- or four-day period. They thoroughly checked those guys that were on the two minutes, three minutes, four minutes, and they came back and said nobody else needs to go on the list and they cleared us to have normal activities and normal...

Taysom Hill will be without the left side of his offensive line for his second career start at quarterback Sunday in Denver.

Saints left tackle Terron Armstead has tested positive for COVID-19 Saturday. He confirmed the news via Twitter.

“Found out this morning that I tested positive for Covid!” he wrote. “I feel completely normal and ready to go play with my guys tomorrow. Unfortunately that can’t happen … I can’t downplay the impact covid has had on so many lives. Everyone stay safe.”

The timing of the positive test likely takes Armstead out of next Sunday’s rematch with the Falcons...

DENVER — All four quarterbacks for the Denver Broncos are ineligible to play for Sunday's game against the New Orleans Saints, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Quarterbacks Drew Lock, Blake Bortles and Brett Rypien were all designated as "high-risk" contacts to quarterback Jeff Driskel, who tested positive for COVID-19 on Thursday, Schefter reported.

The Broncos will not be forfeiting the game, Schefter reported — meaning that the team will go with a emergency quarterback.

Lock, Bortles and Rypien were pulled out of Saturday's practice after concerns arose regarding contact tracing...

Reportedly, the NFL told the Broncos to remove all three players off the practice field on Saturday.

According to 9News’ Mike Klis, sources said...

The Broncos are heading into tomorrow’s game against the Saints with an unprecedented challenge: They don’t have a single quarterback.

All of the quarterbacks on the Broncos’ roster have been ruled out of Sunday’s game because they were exposed to COVID-19, according to multiple reports.

Broncos backup quarterback Jeff Driskel has tested positive for COVID-19, and the report says all of the Broncos’ other quarterbacks have been in close contact with Driskel, with no one wearing masks.

It’s unclear what the Broncos will do. It’s not feasible to bring in a quarterback from the outside in...

DENVER — The Denver Broncos sent all three of their active-roster quarterbacks home during practice Saturday out of COVID-19 contact tracing concerns, according to multiple reports.

This comes two days after the fourth Broncos quarterback Jeff Driskel was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list on Thursday. The three other quarterbacks are Drew Lock, Blake Bortles and Brett Rypien.

Earlier this week Denver coach Vic Fangio said that Lock, Bortles and Rypien were only around Driskel "minimal amounts."

The Broncos canceled Friday's practice after Driskel's positive and moved their meetings...

DENVER — The New Orleans Saints have downgraded All-Pro returner Deonte Harris to out with his neck injury, the team announced Saturday.

Harris had missed all three practices in the week leading up to their game against the Denver Broncos after sustaining a stinger against the Atlanta Falcons last week.

This will be the second game Harris has missed this season. He missed the Week 5 game against the Los Angeles Chargers with a hamstring injury. In his place, rookie Marquez Callaway returned punts and kicks for a combined 129 yards.

The Saints also placed starting left tackle Terron...

Broncos quarterback Jeff Driskel went on the reserve/COVID-19 list this week due to a positive test and head coach Vic Fangio said at the time that the team did not have concerns about the availability of other quarterbacks due to contact with Driskel.

The NFL appears to have some concerns, however. Mike Klis of KUSA reports that the NFL told the Broncos to keep Drew Lock, Brett Rypien, and Blake Bortles from practicing on Saturday after reviewing film of their interaction with Driskel on Wednesday.

Klis reports that all three quarterbacks are asymptomatic and that they have all tested...

Film Study: Recipe for success between Taysom Hill & Emmanuel Sanders in Saints offense

Taysom Hill did anything but disappoint in his debut as the starting quarterback of the New Orleans Saints offense last week. He went 18 of 23 for 233 yards, and he rushed another 10 times for 49 yards. However, there are certainly things if you dig a bit deeper that he’ll need to work on for the sake of consistency.

One of those things is keeping his receivers involved. Half of his completions went to Michael Thomas, which is to be expected when a new quarterback has a top 3 receiver in football to throw to. However, Emmanuel Sanders is right there as well, and Hill appeared to have a...

How long has it been since the New Orleans Saints made the trip to Denver? This long: Joe Vitt was on the Saints sidelines as coach Sean Payton was serving a year-long suspension, Peyton Manning was midway through his first season in Denver and Drew Brees’ two touchdown passes went to Darren Sproles and Jimmy Graham.

A lot can change in eight years, and Denver is a prime example. Since that last meeting, the Broncos won a Super Bowl, but have also cycled through four head coaches and nine starting quarterbacks. They are 4-6 this season and in danger of finishing with a losing record for...
