The Denver Broncos might not be done paying their penance to the NFL. ESPN’S Jeff Legwold informed CBS4 that the team might deal with a significant fine as well as could shed a draft pick for not abiding with COVID procedures.
On Saturday, call tracing exposed that all 4 Broncos quarterbacks weren’t putting on masks and didn’t adhere to social distancing methods in a meeting earlier in the week.
Jeff Driskel has actually considering that tested favorable with COVID while Drew Lock, Brett Rypien as well as Blake Bortles were sent home on Saturday and informed to quarantine. All 4 missed Sunday’s video game with the Saints, requiring the Broncos to make use of Phillip Lindsay, Royce Freeman as well as practice squad receiver Kendall Hinton at quarterback.
The NFL seems to be punishing teams that aren’t complying with the COVID standards. Both the Saints and Raiders were heavily punished earlier in the week. New Orleans was fined$ 500,000 as well as stripped of a 7th round draft pick for not wearing masks in the group’s win over Tampa Bay. Las Vegas shed a 6th round draft pick as well as fined $350,000 for a collection of offenses.
If the Broncos do get one more penalty, it will be the 2nd time the group has actually been fined this season. Vic Fangio was fined $100,000 and also the team was anchored $250,000 earlier in the season when Fangio wasn’t wearing his mask sufficient during the team’s video game at Pittsburgh.
