Broncos injuries: Teddy Bridgewater expected to miss another game Broncos QB Teddy Bridgewater (concussion) is unlikely to play Sunday, and four Denver players were added to the Reserve/COVID-19 list today.
Injury Report: Teddy Bridgewater among Broncos to miss practice, Drew Lock expected to start vs. Chargers “I’d just like to see our offense improve, which Drew is a major part of,” Fangio said of his hopes for Lock in his second start.

Not likely to play this week Bridgewater (concussion) isn't practicing Wednesday and isn't expected to be ready for Sunday's game against the Chargers, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Impact With Bridgewater absent from practice, as expected, Drew Lock continues to guide the first-string offense. The Broncos also made Lock available to the media Wednesday, a sign he's viewed as the likely starting QB for Week 17. The 25-year-old completed 15 of 22 passes for 153 yards in Sunday's 17-13 loss to Las Vegas, with no touchdowns or turnovers in a game where the Broncos took only 42 snaps on offense.

Still in concussion protocol Bridgewater remains in the concussion protocol as of Monday, Ben Swanson of the Broncos' official site reports. "We really don't have an update as far as whether he'd be available...
Impact Bridgewater picked up the concussion during a Week 15 loss to the Bengals when his face mask took the brunt of a fall into the ground while getting tackled. He was ruled out well ahead of this past Sunday's defeat at Las Vegas, and now it appears he may be in danger of missing another contest. As Fangio noted, Bridgewater's return is subject to an examination with an independent neurologist, but first he'll need to mix into drills before the end of the week. If Bridgewater ends up sitting Sunday at the Chargers, he'll hand over quarterback duties to Drew Lock for another spot start.

Ruled out this week Bridgewater (concussion) won't play in Sunday's game against the Raiders but hasn't been ruled out beyond that, Troy Renck of Denver 7 News reports.
Impact With Bridgewater ruled out, Drew Lock will make his fourth appearance and first start of the season, hoping to improve upon some ugly numbers in limited action (22 of 40 for 227 yards with one TD and two INTs). Broncos coach Vic Fangio confirmed that Bridgewater will still be the starter once he's healthy, though it isn't clear when that'll happen after a hard hit in Sunday's loss to Cincinnati sent the QB to concussion protocol.

Unlikely to play Sunday Coach Vic Fangio said Monday that Bridgewater (concussion) is "highly unlikely" to play Sunday against the Raiders, George Stoia III of The Denver Gazette reports.
Impact Although Fangio said that Bridgewater is doing "much better" Monday after he was carted off the field in Sunday's loss to the Bengals, it appears as though the quarterback will be forced to miss at least one game after landing in the concussion protocol. Assuming Bridgewater is held out against Las Vegas, Drew Lock is in line to start under center.

Placed in concussion protocol The Broncos announced Monday that Bridgewater was placed in the league's concussion protocol after he was discharged from a hospital earlier in the day.
Impact According to the team's official statement, Bridgewater is "doing well" one day after he was carted off the field in Sunday's loss to the Bengals and shuttled to a local hospital for further evaluation. Bridgewater will now enter the league's five-step concussion protocol, which he will need to fully clear before returning the field. Denver will undoubtedly take a cautious approach with Bridgewater's recovery, potentially setting the stage for Drew Lock to draw the start under center Week 16 in Las Vegas.

Slated to be released from hospital Bridgewater (head) is expected to be released from the hospital Monday, Troy Renck of Denver 7 News reports.
Impact Bridgewater was taken to the hospital via ambulance after he sustained a head injury in Sunday's loss to the Bengals, but he's now regained consciousness and has movement in all his extremities. He was kept overnight at the hospital as a precautionary measure but will be able to head home Monday. His status for Sunday's Week 16 matchup against the Raiders isn't yet clear, but Drew Lock will likely draw the start if Bridgewater is unavailable.
