Broncos QB Drew Lock is expected to be out 2-6 weeks with a sprained AC joint, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
Lock left Sunday’s matchup against the Steelers and was seen in a sling postgame. He will undergo an MRI Monday to determine the severity of the injury, but all signs point to the second-year quarterback missing Denver’s Week 4 matchup against the Jets.
With Lock likely sidelined, Jeff Driskel will assume the starting role. Driskel stepped in for Lock in the Broncos’ 26-21 loss Sunday, nearly leading a valiant comeback effort. Driskel went 18-34 passing for 256 yards and two touchdowns.
New York will host the Broncos on a short week with a chance to steal a win now that Lock is sidelined for the foreseeable future.
