The Denver Broncos had no new positive coronavirus tests coming out of Sunday testing, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter.

The Broncos were without their entire quarterback depth chart for Sunday's loss to the Saints due to the positive test of backup quarterback Jeff Driskel and the fact that the team's three other QBs (Drew Lock, Brett Rypien and Blake Bortles) were all deemed to be high-risk contacts.

Lock, the team's starting quarterback, issued an apology on social media before Sunday's game acknowledging that the quarterbacks had erred in not strictly adhering to mask policies with one another, according to the story.

The Chargers activated RB Austin Ekeler from injured reserve Saturday.

This was the expectation all week that he would be back in the lineup against the Bills. This will be Ekeler’s first action since suffering the hamstring injury back in Week 4. Good timing as Karen Ballage is dealing ankle and calf injuries of his own. Ekeler had a good week of practice after the team designated him for return on Tuesday.

The Broncos pulled all three quarterbacks (Drew Lock, Brett Rypien and Blake Bortles) from practice Saturday and “sent home out of contact tracing concerns with Jeff Driskel”.

Klis says it is unclear if this is precautionary or what the status of the quarterbacks is for Sunday against the Saints. Driskel tested positive for COVID on Thursday. However, the other quarterbacks have all been testing negative and Klis notes there is hope all three (not counting Driskel) will be cleared for Sunday.

Chargers head coach Anthony Lynn told reporters Friday that 'there's a chance' RB Austin Ekeler plays Sunday.

If Ekeler is active, will it tie in to Ballage not playing? Is it too soon to get excited about Ekeler's return? Is this too many questions to ask?

According to Ian Rapoport on Twitter, Washington star wide receiver Terry McLaurin is expected to play against the Dallas Cowboys.

Although McLaurin was officially questionable for this afternoon's contest, he was listed as a full participant on Wednesday's estimated practice report. He will be active for a plus matchup against a Cowboys team he recorded seven receptions for 90 receiving yards and a touchdown against earlier this season. McLaurin is our eighth ranked receiver for Week 12.
