NFL Notes: Broncos, Chargers & Lions

Broncos

Broncos S T.J. Ward mentioned that the quarterback competition betweenย Mark Sanchez, Trevor Siemian andย rookie Paxton Lynch has been “pretty even” up to this point.

โ€œTheyโ€™ve all worked with the 1s, 2s and 3s,โ€ Ward said, via NFL.com. โ€œWe have seen them work with different receivers in the starting offense and second-string offense. Iโ€™m not sure. They all look well. โ€ฆ Sometimes you really in practice have to see who threw the ball or who is starting with the 1โ€™s because theyโ€™re pretty even.โ€

Chargers

  • Jason Cole reports that a poll released by Competitive Edge Research in San Diego says theย Chargers downtown stadium proposal likelyย won’t pass or even garnerย 50 of the vote, as opposed to a potential 2/3 requirement.
  • Cole mentions that this would leave the Chargers with their current Mission Valley site or Inglewood along with some other alternative sites.

Lions

  • According to Dave Birkett, the Lions took this long to release ILB Stephen Tulloch because he was unable to pass a physicalย from ankle surgery until Tuesday.
  • Birkett points out the Lions would have owed Tulloch $1.1 million as part of an injury protection settlement, which would have counted against the team’s salaryย cap.
