The Broncos are expected to re-sign Brock Osweiler, all but confirming Lynch (shoulder) will be unavailable to start the regular season, Troy Renck of Denver 7 News reports.

Lynch will carry a sprained right throwing shoulder into the regular season, which spurred the Broncos to bring back a familiar face in Osweiler to back up Trevor Siemian. A recovery timetable hasn't been attached to Lynch, so a multi-game absence is a fair assessment with a bit more than one week remaining before the team's Week 1 matchup with the Chargers. Expect the signal-caller to focus on rehabilitation for the foreseeable future.
