Denver Broncos QB Mark Sanchez was benched after throwing an interception at practice Friday, July 29, and was replaced by QB Trevor Siemian, who led the first-team offense for the remainder of practice. Head coach Gary Kubiak said after practice he expects Sanchez and Siemian to receive an equal amount of reps over the next couple of weeks.

Footballguys View: The team is treating Sanchez like he is not guaranteed to start, but turning to 2015 seventh-round pick Trevor Siemian is not a great fallback position. Most reports say first-round pick Paxton Lynch is not ready. While this team won a Super Bowl with Peyton Manning playing like a dead man walking last year, it still can get worse for this passing game and offense.
