So obviously Trevor is rather inexperienced and that could be a concern for the Broncos since his first game action will come against Luke Kuechly and the very good Carolina Panthers defense. They didn’t make an immediate move, though, and Prescott had strong showings in the first two preseason games. It’s a daunting task Dallas’ brass does not want the rookie facing without a veteran back-up. Still, the Broncos probably wish they had found a trade partner before the roster deadline Saturday.

He was sacked three times and fumbled twice.

The Cowboys now have an experienced veteran entrenched behind Prescott until Romo’s return.

These were calculated under the assumption Siemian plays in all 16 games for Denver.
