The Denver Broncos have had quarterback issues this season with Brock Osweiler recently replacing Trevor Siemian.
The Broncos used a first round pick on Paxton Lynch in 2016 but he hasn't featured this season.
"What I meant by that is physically he's been hurt," Vance Joseph clarified Monday, via the Denver Post. "He played his last football game in Week 3 of the preseason and he threw for four days prior to our last game. That's the physical part. The mental part, I was speaking more to that he hasn't played football. He hasn't been on the football field. ... Not his lack of football IQ. I wasn't talking about that. I was more talking about time on the job. He's missed so much time, so to put him in an NFL game Week 10 wouldn't be fair to our football team or fair to Paxton. That's what I meant."
