Paxton Lynch promoted to second on Broncos' depth chart

Denver Broncos quarterback Paxton Lynch has been promoted to second on the depth chart ahead of Trevor Siemian.

What It Means:

Lynch will be active for the first time all season in Week 11 against the Cincinnati Bengals. He's behind Brock Osweiler for now, but last year's first-round pick is expected to take over sooner rather than later for a Broncos team that has little hopes of making the postseason.

In three games (two starts) as a rookie last year, Lynch completed 49-of-83 passes for 497 yards with 2 touchdowns and 1 interception.
