Broncos scuffling at QB, cornerback but McManus coming back

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — Kicker Brandon McManus is due back this week from the COVID-19 reserve list, and while that won’t settle the Denver Broncos’ cornerback conundrum or quarterback quandary, it will at least provide some normalcy in a wacky season waylaid by injuries and coronavirus concerns. Fangio added that Taylor Russilino, the 31-year-old rookie who had a dismal NFL debut while subbing for McManus in Denver’s 48-19 loss to Buffalo on Saturday, will revert to the team’s practice squad. “He definitely deserved what he got,” Fangio said of Ojemudia’s ejection after watching the coaches tape. Hopefully, it’s one that he’ll learn from and will never commit again.” Fangio said he’ll stick with Ojemudia, Bausby and safety-by-trade Will Parks, who has played two games since being claimed off waivers from Philadelphia. Pressed, Fangio added, “We’re all being evaluated: players, coaches, everybody.” WHAT’S WORKING For all their flaws, the Broncos are 7 for 7 in the red zone the last three weeks.
