The Denver Broncos haven't settled on a starting quarterback for their second preseason game, let alone the regular season.

Gary Kubiak said Tuesday that the competition between Mark Sanchez and Trevor Siemian has "been very close" and John Elway says the team is planning to wait through the third week of the preseason to "see if somebody jumps out at you."

Rookie Paxton Lynch is believed to be in the running to start as well.

"The good thing is we've got a good enough team around them," Elway said. "We'll be able to run the ball, and we won't throw them out there and say, 'You guys have to go win this.' Do your job, make good decisions and keep the team in position to win. And that's really all we're asking of that position right now."
