The Denver Broncos will start Paxton Lynch in Week 5 with Trevor Siemian injured.

Dealing with an AC joint sprain in his left shoulder, Siemian was limited in practice Friday and was initially listed as questionable to play against the visiting Falcons.

"We have 48 hours here so we'll see how he comes out of it tomorrow, how he's feeling," Gary Kubiak added. "But he took a lot more today, so we'll see where he's at."

Lynch was the third quarterback drafted in the first round of the 2016 draft and will be the fifth QB in his class to earn a start in his rookie season (Carson Wentz, Dak Prescott, Jacoby Brissett, Cody Kessler).
