The Denver Broncos have released their initial depth chart of 2021. No big surprises anywhere on this depth chart heading into the first preseason game against the Minnesota Vikings, but two Broncos camp battles remain undecided.
The obvious undecided camp battle is between incumbent quarterback Drew Lock and veteran Teddy Bridgewater. Lock will get the first start this week against the Vikings, but Head Coach Vic Fangio noted that Bridgewater would get the second start against the Seattle Seahawks next week.
The other camp battle that few are really talking about due to the shadow of the quarterback battle is at right tackle. Veteran Bobby Massie is in a dual with third-year player the Broncos have been developing in Calvin Anderson.
