What It Means:

Fangio says "all options are available" for the 42nd overall pick, from staying on IR, to being a backup, or making his NFL debut. He adds that the lack of practice time is more of a hindrance to Lock's development "than his ability to learn [the offense]." Brandon Allen completed just 10-of-25 passes for 82 yards and an interception in the Broncos' Week 12 loss to the Buffalo Bills on Sunday, becoming the first quarterback since Charlie Whitehurst in 2014 to throw for 82 yards or less on 25-plus attempts. Denver will host the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 13.

Allen finished with 3.1 FanDuel points on Sunday. The Broncos have the 29th passing offense in the NFL (192.3 per game).
