Denver Broncos starting quarterback Brock Osweiler addressed the media on Wednesday, speaking about the right shoulder injury he sustained Sunday night against the New England Patriots.
“It happened — I believe it was the second series of the game,” Osweiler said. “I knew right away something was wrong.”
But while dinged up, Osweiler knows, it’s getting late in the season, everyone’s hurt and says, the injury will not hurt his play moving forward.

“It’s November football in the National Football League, everyone’s hurt,” Osweiler said. “Bottom line is, it’s not going to effect how I throw, it’s not going to effect how I play and it’ll be no big deal come Sunday.
“I’ll be out there tomorrow slinging the football around and I’ll be ready to go on Sunday,” Osweiler says.
Adding an interesting wrinkle to the Broncos quarterback storyline, second-year QB Paxton Lynch took second team reps behind Osweiler on Wednesday. Lynch, too, is recovering from a shoulder injury, which he suffered during the preseason.
If the move is permanent, it would drop Week 1 starter and team captain Trevor Siemian to third on the depth chart.
