Drew Lock

Following a Tuesday MRI, Drew Lock has been diagnosed with a sprained right thumb, Ian Rapoport reports.

Lock left Monday's game against the 49ers early after jamming his thumb, but the injury didn't appear serious. Further tests showed the sprain, but Lock fortunately doesn't need surgery. He'll still miss some valuable reps, leaving Kevin Hogan and Brett Rypien to get a boost in playing time in Weeks 3 and 4 of the preseason.

Drew Lock completed 7-of-12 passes for 40 yards and added two rushes for 11 yards in the Broncos' 24-15 preseason loss to the 49ers Monday night. Lock also suffered a minor thumb injury and is not expected to miss time.

Fantasy Impact

Lock jammed his thumb and had to leave the game Monday. The minor injury won't cost him further time, but did lose the rookie valuable preseason reps against San Francisco. Denver's second-rounder is the future at QB, but Joe Flacco is firmly entrenched for this season.

Drew Lock completed 7-of-11 passes for 34 yards and was sacked twice in the Broncos' 14-10 preseason win over the Falcons Thursday night.

Fantasy Impact

Lock did not impress in his debut, but did manage to not turn the ball over. Denver's second-round pick is the QB of the future and will see extensive playing time in the preseason.

Rookie quarterback Drew Lock has agreed to terms with the Denver Broncos on the day that the team reports to training camp, according to ProFootballTalk.

Fantasy Impact

With the current structure set up for rookie contracts, lengthy holdouts are more of a rarity, so it was expected all along that the Broncos and Lock would agree to a deal sooner rather than later. As it turns out, they agreed to a deal on the day the team reports to camp. Lock is expected to be the backup to starter Joe Flacco in 2019, but he is a high draft pick that the team is surely hoping will take that job before too long.

The Denver Broncos have selected Missouri QB Drew Lock with the 42nd overall pick.

Fantasy Impact

Lock to the Broncos was a pairing rumored together since the combine. And although the Broncos traded for Joe Flacco, there remained a need for a quarterback in Denver. After all, Flacco is 34 and is on the back end of his career. With Flacco slated as the immediate starter, Lock will have time to develop, barring injury to the QB1.
