Additional discipline is possible for a trio of Denver Broncos quarterbacks who were held out of Sunday's game because of COVID-19 concerns, head coach Vic Fangio said Monday.
All three quarterbacks -- Drew Lock, Brett Rypien and Blake Bortles -- were inactive for Sunday's 31-3 loss to the New Orleans Saints. The trio tested negative for COVID-19 on Monday, Fangio said, and will have to test negative again Tuesday before returning to team activities.
Fangio said the players still could face team discipline.
"We're going to consider all that and, again, try to see what the league, if they have anything planned and if not, we'll take our measures,'' Fangio said.
That could include a fine or, less likely, a one-game suspension.
"Everything's on the table, but right now I would say it's more the fine mode," Fangio said.
Each quarterback was deemed "high risk" after a meeting that included fellow quarterback Jeff Driskel, who tested positive for COVID-19 on Thursday. None of the quarterbacks wore masks during the meeting.
The Broncos were forced to turn to practice squad wide receiver Kendall Hinton to play quarterback against the Saints. Hinton, who played quarterback for three seasons at Wake Forest before changing positions, finished 1 of 9 for 13 yards and two interceptions.
Fangio was asked whether the team might quarantine one if its quarterbacks to avoid another situation like Sunday's. He said the team would consider that option going forward.
"But I think if we just follow the protocols, we'll be fine," he added.
