Practice Squad WR Kendall Hinton To Play At QB For Broncos

All of the quarterbacks on the Denver Broncos roster will be ineligible to play Sunday against the New Orleans Saints.

Drew Lock, Brett Rypien, Blake Bortles and Jeff Driskel have all been ruled out for COVID-19 protocols.

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport says that the Broncos will now play practice squad WR Kendall Hinton at quarterback instead in the emergency circumstances.

Hinton did play at signal caller in college, attempting 251 passes as a Wake Forest quarterback from 2015-2019. He threw 8 touchdowns and 7 interceptions.

Reports say Denver has refused to forfeit the game scheduled for 2:05 p.m. on Sunday (Nov. 29).

The Broncos come in 4-6, while the Saints are 8-2.
