Denver’s backup quarterback will miss Thursday’s preseason finale “and then a few weeks” after suffering a right shoulder sprain in Saturday’s win over the Packers.
The good news is Broncos quarterback won’t need surgery.
With Trevor Siemian locked in as the starter, Denver is expected to look around for potential help under center. Kyle Sloter and Chad Kelly are both on the roster, but neither has taken a snap in a game that matters.
It is unclear how long Lynch will be off the field, but at least the first couple of regular season games.
Wide receiver Jordan Taylor will act as the third-string quarterback behind Kyle Sloter.
