After Jeff Driskel tested positive for COVID-19, the Broncos sent all their available quarterbacks home over concerns about contact tracing.
The three quarterbacks, who were on the field during an open viewing period at the start of practice, were pulled from the workout before it was finished. All three have taken additional POC tests since Thursday and all three have come back negative so far.
The Broncos are scheduled to face the New Orleans Saints on Sunday at Empower Field at Mile High. The team would have no available quarterbacks if all three players have to either isolate per the league’s protocols or test positive for coronavirus.
Broncos wide receiver Kendall Hinton will be playing quarterback against the Saints.
The most 2020 scene of all: Denver’s QBs were deemed high-risk, close contacts because they were not wearing their masks. The Broncos will hit the field Sunday against the Saints without a quarterback.

Saints are scheduled to land in Denver at 7:20 ET, when they will learn more about preparing to face a Broncos team that doesn’t have a quarterback.
