Broncos’ QB Drew Lock suffered a severe rotator cuff strain and will be sidelined at least two weeks before his injury is re-evaluated again, per source.

Driskell now slated to be Denver’s starting QB on Sunday vs. Tampa. The team will also be without Courtland Sutton at wide receiver, leaving perhaps a heavy workload for RB Melvin Gordon, but against a good Bucs defense.

The Denver Broncos are experiencing some trouble this Sunday in their matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers, as quarterback Drew Lock returned to the locker room after sustaining a right shoulder injury. Shortly after, the team ruled him out for the remainder of the game.

Lock immediately headed to the locker room after sustaining the injury, and was replaced by Driskel. Driskel started against the Steelers as a member of the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 17 of the 2018 season, and spent the 2019 season with the Detroit Lions.

Drew Lock/Courtland Sutton. The first 11-on-11 play of training camp was a pass to Sutton and the duo are trending the right away. The in-sync part is important because I haven’t seen a glaring miscommunication between Lock and Sutton yet, which is a good sign considering the new playbook.

Lock/Jerry Jeudy. Agreed on your “getting there” analysis. They’ve had several nice completions, the same for Jeudy and backup quarterback Jeff Driskel.

Lock/K.J. Hamler. A tough break for the offense and for Hamler, who is out multiple weeks with a hamstring injury and whose status for Week 1 is in doubt. When Hamler gets back to practice, he and Lock will have to start over.

With Hamler out, the story said guys like tight ends Albert Okwuegbunam and Jake Butt and receivers Tim Patrick, DaeSean Hamilton and Tyrie Cleveland have all picked up the slack. Lock had time with Sutton last year so it makes sense they are on the same page. Jeudy will be a key to the offense as he and Lock look to get more comfortable with one another.

With Jeff Driskel dealing with a hamstring injury, David Blough will get the start for the Lions on Thursday against the Bears.

The season just gets worse for the Lions, who on now on their third quarterback this season and are on a run of seven losses in eight games. The offense already took a hit under Driskel and might even drop another level or two under the undrafted rookie out of Purdue. At this point, the season can't end soon enough for the Lions.

Patricia said Jeff Driskel’s hamstring is still pretty sore.

If Driskel can't go, Blough looks like he'll get start assuming Stafford wouldn't be able to play. Even if Driskel plays with a sore hammy, it would likely limit his own running game and overall fantasy production. It's a tough matchup against the Bears defense on top of it.

That report lists quarterback Jeff Driskel as a limited participant due to a hamstring injury.

The story the team was interested in signing Josh Johnson but the XFL declined to release him from his contract. With a short week, it could mean Matthew Stafford and Driskel may be in jeopardy of missing the Thanksgiving Day game. Blough is the only healthy QB on the roster right now.
