Update: ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports it’s actually a severely strained rotator cuff for Broncos QB Drew Lock and the young passer will be out at least two weeks.
Denver will re-evaluate Lock’s injury at that time. Meanwhile, backup QB Jeff Driskel will start the next two games against the Buccaneers and Jets.
Ian Rapoport says the hope for Denver is that Lock is able to return no later than midseason.
