Denver Broncos starting quarterback Drew Lock injured his throwing shoulder and is expected to miss a few weeks, but there's confusion as to what the injury actually is:
Broncos’ QB Drew Lock, who was in a sling after today’s loss to Pittsburgh, sprained his AC and is expected to be sidelined between 2-6 weeks, per me and @Jeff_Legwold. He will undergo an MRI on Monday to help determine extent of damage and how long he will miss.

I have been told by multiple sources Lock’s shoulder injury is not to his AC joint. Again won’t conclusively know damage til MRI in morning. #9sports https://t.co/A0QBxjEERj
