Lynch appears gimpy in practice
All signs point to the Denver Broncos starting Brock Osweiler at quarterback Sunday at Washington.
Osweiler is expected to start not because he deserved the promotion after he came off the bench and led the Broncos to a 25-13, come-from-behind win last week at Indianapolis. He is expected to start because Paxton Lynch doesn’t appear quite healthy enough to play the bulk of a 60-minute game. (9 News in Denver)
Nerdy Football Analysis: The Broncos have yet to name a starting QB but Lynch (ankle) appeared gimpy in practice. He split reps with Osweiler 50-50 during the week. If he’s unable to go this week, expect Lynch to start Week 17 against the Chiefs. In related news, Emmanuel Sanders (ankle) appeared to be limited on Friday. He’s a candidate for the Inactive list on Sunday.
