Filling in for Bridgewater again With Teddy Bridgewater (concussion) ruled out, Lock is slated to start Sunday's game against the Chargers.

Impact In that context, Lock is an option for those in two-QB formats or who are scrambling for a Week 17 signal-caller for any reason. However, with wideouts Jerry Jeudy and Tim Patrick on the reserve/COVID-19 list and Courtland Sutton (illness) questionable for the contest, Lock figures to be working with a depleted pass-catching corps Sunday.

Listed as full practice participant Lock (ankle) was listed as a full participant on Thursday's practice estimate, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

Impact Meanwhile, fellow signal-caller Teddy Bridgewater (concussion) was listed as a non-participant. At this stage, it seems plausible that come Friday, Bridgewater will be ruled out for Sunday's game against the Chargers. In that case, Lock would be in line to draw his second straight start at QB this weekend.

Trending toward Week 17 start Lock will likely remain Denver's starting quarterback Sunday's game against the Chargers with Teddy Bridgewater not expected to clear the NFL's five-step concussion protocol this w...

Impact Bridgewater required a trip to the hospital after being carted off the field in the Broncos' Dec. 19 loss to the Bengals. Though he was discharged a day later and was diagnosed with no injuries beyond the concussion, Bridgewater wasn't able to practice in any capacity last week before being ruled out ahead of last Sunday's 17-13 loss to the Raiders. Bridgewater remains in the protocol as of Wednesday and is considered unlikely to take any dramatic steps forward in the next few days, setting up Lock for a second consecutive start. Lock completed 15 of 22 passes for 153 yards, no touchdowns and no interceptions last week, as Denver took just 40 snaps on offense while Las Vegas (36:37) dominated the time of possession.

Does little in loss Lock completed 15 of 22 passes for 153 yards in Sunday's 17-13 loss to the Raiders. He added 10 yards on two carries.

Impact The Las Vegas defense stacked the box to stop the run and dared Lock to beat them, and the third-year QB wasn't able to answer the challenge. Teddy Bridgewater (concussion) hasn't yet been ruled out for a Week 17 clash with the Chargers, but if Lock does get another start he'll need to be much better to keep the Broncos' fading playoff hopes alive.
