Broncos rookie quarterback Drew Lock suffered a thumb injury in preseason and missed nearly three months of practice before finally getting back on the field two weeks ago. After getting increased reps at practice this week, Lock feels confident about Sunday’s game against the Chargers.
“I’ll always be a confident guy and feel like I’m comfortable, feel like I’m ready, but [after] being able to come back for two weeks, get good reps with the scout team, take a couple with the first offense — I definitely feel like I’m back to being super comfortable,” Lock said Wednesday.
Denver hasn’t yet named a starter for Sunday’s game but signs point to the second-round draft choice making his NFL debut against Los Angeles.
“He’s confident, he’s been in the system for the whole year now and he’s been able to learn from both quarterbacks,” running back Phillip Lindsay said Wednesday. “He’s already a talented young man, so he just needs to go out there and showcase it now.”
Sunday’s game will begin at 2:25 p.m. MT on CBS (view the TV map here).
