Lock (thumb) is expected to be activated from injured reserve ahead of Sunday's game against the Chargers, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Per James Palmer of NFL Network, the Broncos increased Lock's reps to "about 75 percent of the offensive snaps in practice this week," an arrangement that points to Denver turning to the 2019 second-round pick over Brandon Allen in Week 13. Coach Vic Fangio may not name starter before Sunday in order to keep the Chargers guessing, but at this stage, it would be a surprise if Lock doesn't take over for Allen this weekend.
