AFC West Notes: Broncos, Chiefs, Raiders

Broncos HC Vic Fangio believes the time he has spent on injured reserve has really helped rookie QB Drew Lock

โ€œI think the time off in some ways, although you never want it, helped him,โ€ Fangio said, via the Denver Post. โ€œI think he learned a lot whereas, when he was going through it in the spring and training camp before he got hurt, it was piling up on him I think. Besides learning the new offense and being under center, which he had never done in college โ€” all those things were piling up on him and getting in the way of progressing the way youโ€™d like to see him progress. I think, through his time off, heโ€™s been able to solve some of those issues emotionally and mentally. I think heโ€™s looked a little bit better the first two days, albeit [in] 8-10 snaps [and] half the scout-team snaps. Very limited sample.โ€

  • Regarding CB Bryce Callahan, who is being placed on injured reserve, Mike Klis notes that he has a fully guaranteed $3.5 million roster bonus due on second day of 2020 league year to go along with a non-guaranteed $3 million salary.
  • Klis mentions that Callahan will likely be back next year, given that teams donโ€™t typically eat $10 million of dead money ($6.5 million this year and $3.5 million next year) to save $3 million.
  • The Denver Broncos officially ruled out CB Bryce Callahan (foot) for Week 11 and list TE Jeff Heuerman (knee) and T Ja’Wuan James (knee) as doubtful and WR DaeSean Hamilton (knee) as questionable.
