Broncos To Play Saints Without QB As All Ruled Ineligible Due To COVID

Nov 28, 2020 8:28 PM

The Denver Broncos will be without all three of their quarterbacks for Sunday's game against the New Orleans Saints.

Drew Lock, Brett Rypien and Blake Bortles were each deemed to be a "high-risk" close contact to quarterback Jeff Driskel, who tested positive on Thursday.

Vic Fangio has previously said running back Royce Freeman is the team's emergency quarterback.

The Saints were 6-point favorites before the Broncos' quarterback situation was disclosed Sunday night, causing most sportsbooks to halt betting on the game. Las Vegas sportsbook Circa Sports reopened the line at New Orleans -13. The point spread quickly grew to Saints -14.
