(The Sports Xchange) - The
Denver Broncos' quarterback carousel once again will turn to Trevor
Siemian after coach Vance Joseph announced Monday that Paxton Lynch
will be sidelined two to four weeks with a high ankle injury.
Lynch sustained the non-contact injury during the third quarter of
Sunday's 21-14 loss to the Raiders on Sunday at the Oakland-Alameda
County Coliseum. The 2016 first-round pick completed 9 of 14 passes
for 41 yards with one interception while making his first start of
the season and third career.

injuries. New England also put defensive back Nate Ebner on injured
reserve.

Carolina Panthers tight end Greg Olsen, who made his long-awaited

broken foot, received positive news after seeing a specialist.
Olsen was examined orthopedic specialist Dr. Robert Anderson and his
foot was judged to be "OK," the Charlotte Observer reported, citing
a source.

Denver Broncos cornerback Aqib Talib opened up about his role in a
fight with Oakland Raiders wide receiver Michael Crabtree that saw
both players ejected from Sunday's game at Oakland-Alameda County
Coliseum.

altercation, he also said that Crabtree started the fireworks by
punching Denver teammate Chris Harris on the previous play.
