With starting quarterback Drew Lock out for the next three-to-five weeks with a severe strain of the rotator cuff in his throwing shoulder, the Denver Broncos are bringing in reinforcements.
According to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler, the Broncos signed veteran quarterback Blake Bortles to a one-year deal, and he is set to join the team after passing COVID-19 protocols.
Bortles spent the first five seasons of his career as the starter with the Jacksonville Jaguars, throwing for 17,646 yards with 103 touchdowns and 75 interceptions.
Bortles would then sign with the Los Angeles Rams during the 2019 offseason, to backup Jared Goff, but would not be brought back for 2020.
