The Denver Broncos are going to have a rough time on Sunday against the Saints.
According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the Broncos entire QB unit will be ruled out due to being exposed to QB Jeff Driskel, who tested positive for COVID-19.
All the QBs on the Broncos' roster are ineligible to play Sunday against the Saints after being deemed high-risk, close contacts, sources tell ESPN.
None were wearing masks at the time of exposure, per source.

Apparently, none of the QBs were wearing a mask while they were around each other.
Here's how Denver got wiped out at the QB position in a 72-hour span:
QB Jeff Driskel tested positive for COVID on Thursday.
Drew Lock, Brett Rypien and Blake Bortles did not wear masks, per a source, and were deemed high-risk close contacts today. They now are out Sunday.

It’s currently unclear what the Broncos will do but it appears that the game is still on for Sunday.
All three Broncos QBs have been ruled out. One possible QB: Kendall Hinton. He's on Broncos practice squad as WR but he was a three-year starting QB at Wake Forest. (Won't be coach Rob Calabrese. League won't allow, I'm told).

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.
