The Broncos might have plans for Drew Lock

for the future.But for the present Royce Freeman Jersey , the second-round pick is stuck third on the depth chart behind a guy on his fourth team in as many years.The Broncos have announced they’re going to start journeyman Kevin Hogan in Thursday’s Hall of Fame Game, but Lock isn’t taking it as a slight, as he transitions from running a spread offense at Missouri.“It’s obviously not the 1s that are going to go out and play this game,” Lock said, via Kyle Fredrickson of the . “There will be a lot of young guys, a lot of draft picks, a lot of couple-year guys — the juices will be flowing, people will be riled up, but let’s calm down, let’s show we can drive down the field, be crisp, be smart, no penalties before the snap — be a really clean quarterback that doesn’t force the ball downfield, that can check it down and keep moving the sticks.”Lock started 46 of 50 games in college, so being so far down the depth chart is new to him, though he’s still excited.“Of course, I’ll be a little fired up to show people what I can do and bring the juice that I brought through college,” Lock said. “I think you’ll still see the same me. I’m confident in what I can do, whether I go in right at the beginning of the game or at end of the game. I’m going to be the same guy and prove to people that one day Brandon McManus Jersey , I should be starting these games.”The Broncos are set on Joe Flacco as their starter, but the door was seemingly open for Lock to take on the backup role. New coach Vic Fangio has made it clear that Lock has a lot of development to do, and his assignment this week seems indicative of how far they think he needs to go. ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) — Broncos coach Vic Fangio said he didn’t think Jake Butt’s absence from practice for a second straight day Monday was “a major concern” even though the tight end’s left knee, which has been surgically repaired twice, “just didn’t feel right for him.”Fangio said having to sit Butt was “kind of to be expected” early in training camp.Resting Butt gives the second-year pro three days’ rest because the Broncos have Tuesday off before training camp resumes Wednesday afternoon.Also sitting out Monday were rookie receiver Juwann Winfree, who’s flashed at camp so far, but “he got hit yesterday a little bit and his leg wasn’t feeling right,” Fangio said.Guard Ronald Leary, who’s coming off a torn Achilles tendon, sat out practice as a precaution.Pro Bowl running back Phillip Lindsay, who missed the offseason program while recovering from right wrist surgery, hasn’t missed any practice time so far.“My mind is not on my hand anymore, it’s about making plays,” Lindsay said. “That’s not really a problem anymore.”Monday was alumni day at Broncos camp with several players now in the media such as Ryan Harris, Brandon Stokley and Steve Atwater joining old-timers for festivities and a group photo .“It’s really cool to see the guys who did it before us and be able to shake their hands, talk to them a little bit and bounce some ideas or get some knowledge from them,” cornerback Kareem Jackson said. “It’s just always cool to be able to see guys that did it before you.”
