QB Siemian named starter by Broncos coach Kubiak
Print Edition
DENVER Broncos coach Gary Kubiak has named Trevor Siemian the starting quarterback for Week One, when the defending champions open the 2016 season with a rematch of Super Bowl 50.
Siemian, who has yet to throw a regular-season pass in the National Football League, will start against the Carolina Panthers on September 8 to kick off the 2016 season. Kubiak informed quarterbacks Siemian, Mark Sanchez and Paxton Lynch of his decision on Monday morning prior to sharing it with the entire team. Siemian, a 2015 seventh-round pick, will replace the retired Peyton Manning and Brock Osweiler, who left the Broncos during free agency to join the Houston Texans. The 24-year-old Siemian won the battle with Sanchez, who was traded in March by the Philadelphia Eagles to the Broncos for a conditional 2017 draft pick. Siemian solidified his hold on the starting job in Saturday’s third preseason game when the Broncos beat the Los Angeles Rams 17-9. Denver moved up five spots in the first round of the 2016 draft to select Lynch.
