Why can't the Broncos sign a quarterback? The logical thought one might have to the Broncos not having a quarterback is to simply sign a new one. But the NFL implemented COVID-19 rules for new players, which limits when they can actually play for a team. Per the NFL protocols, a new player cannot enter their team facility or start to practice until they test negative for five straight days and then test negative on the sixth day with a point of contact test.
Even if the Broncos reacted right away and signed a quarterback after Driskel's positive test, there would not have been enough days in between for them to be eligible to play.

Tebow is still available, didn’t he play for Denver once?
after 30’yeRa of 3 packs a day? doubtful
30 years of 3 packs a day should be
All he’s missing is wheels and a front line.....
The NFL is now the worst of America.
I would rather read about another homosexual NPR reporter’s colon issues than what Freepers think about their woke NFL teams.
This might actually be the first game I watch in years.
One of the best NFL games I ever watched was the year Montana went to the Kansas City Chiefs, and one Monday night they met the Denver Broncos with Elway and it was a slug Fest from the first hike it was a great game. Two retiring legends.
I’m not a sports junkie but there are some remarkable moments in the history of sport.
Or to my knowledge even been hospitalized.
I would like to believe Conservatives agree with me on this.
can’t feel sorry for the broncos since they disrespected Tebow so much....Elway has too much influence.....he didn’t remember when he was a young qb and he stunk, and was booed...
Yeah, TEBOW! As a rookie quarterback he took the Broncos to the play-offs.
Napoleon Dynamite is on my list of ten movies I would take to a deserted island.
Me too, hilarious.
The way Elway threw him away? I doubt he would come back. He has been doing well with his businesses and is married to a wonderful Christian lady. I would hope Tebow has moved on.
No it’s not. It’s the nature of insular groups. Teams spend a LOT of time together in practice. Colds and flus rip through locker rooms. Their insular nation generally helps them avoid introducing a bug, just because they don’t spend enough time away from the team facilities to get a lot of exposure, but once the seal gets broken BAM. First somebody gives it to the strength and conditioning coach or his assistants, then everybody has it.
My frau mentioned this last night. She watches local news and fills me in. Saves me time. Besides there are two pro rugby matches today.
Pro athletes should have been dropping out like flies due to seasonal flu then.
No they’ve been getting tagged with covid. Mostly close contact hyper caution. But also plenty of positive tests. This is what happens when a strength and conditioning coach shows up with symptoms (Ravens).
Agreed.
