Broncos Quarterbacks ineligible for Sunday’s game
It would be one thing if there was just one quarterback that could not play on Sunday due to injury or being a healthy scratch. For the first time in history, a team will take the field without a single quarterback that is eligible to play. All three quarterbacks on the active roster (Lock, Rypien, and Driskel) and their practice squad quarterback (Bortles) will not be playing for the game.
So, what will the team do without a quarterback? The team does not plan to forfeit the game, so they apparently will go to either Royce Freeman or Kendall Hinton as their quarterback for Sunday.
The most insane thing that 2020 has brought to the Denver Broncos.
Garett Bolles signs extension
In some good news for Broncos Country, the team has come to terms with their left tackle Garett Bolles on a four year contract extension. The deal is for $68 million that will kick in once the 2020 season has concluded.
For a guy that has played very well in a season where he needed to perform well, he has really shown his worth.
Garett Bolles grades through each season:
— PFF DEN Broncos (@PFF_Broncos) November 28, 2020
2017: 72.9 (31st among offense tackles)
2018: 72.8 (30th among tackles)
2019 76.1 (19th among tackles)
2020: 90.0 (1st among tackles) https://t.co/g80FMPX6KI
It has been a true underdog story for Bolles. Most of Broncos Country believed it would not have worked out. But it is nice to see hard work paying off in a big way.
