Drew Lock Dealing With Severe Chest Injury, Availability For Sunday Uncertain

After a 4-interception performance against the Raiders, concerns rose about Drew Lock's injury status, and he was clearly playing in pain. However, reports are in that the Broncos quarterback does not have a rib fracture, and is dealing with a muscle strain.  Intercostal bruising and oblique injuries can be just as painful as a rib injury, but given his young age and strong arm it may be physically possible for him to play this week versus Miami. It will be a coaching decision whether to start Drew Lock, and the team will have to decide if they prefer to field a less-than-100% Drew Lock or Brett Rypien.
