Broncos receiver Kendall Hinton on Sunday made his debut against the Saints as the team’s starting quarterback.
Hinton, 23, was named the starter after quarterbacks Drew Lock, Blake Bortles and Brett Rypien were unable to play after being deemed to be high-risk close-contact cases after quarterback Jeff Driskel tested positive for COVID-19.
