Jordan Taylor, Cody Latimer and Jordan Norwood will and should be the remaining receivers that get the most time at least in the first couple of weeks.

Trevor Siemian has beaten out Mark Sanchez and first-round pick Paxton Lynch for the Denver Broncos’ starting job, the team announced on Monday.
“I feel like we did well as a group, some good and some bad”, Siemian said. “Ultimately, that’s up to Kubes”.
“No matter what the situation was, like I said from day one, I have the confidence to make the best of this opportunity, and that’s what I’ve been doing”. There was a really nice strike from Siemian to Demaryius Thomas – who caught it with one hand.
“I think he’s very calm”, the head coach said. I think what I see is a guy getting better. Lynch played the entire second half, completing 6-of-13 passes for 57 yards, with five three-and-outs.
The Broncos can recoup $3.5 million of the $4.5 million they gave Sanchez if they cut him by Tuesday, but one thing is clear whether he remains in Denver or not: He’s not the temporary savior the Broncos hoped he could be six months ago.
Kubiak said after the game that he’s “got enough going on that I can make a decision”, although he didn’t say how quickly he’d be sharing that decision publicly.

Before the start of the preseason, it’s up to the veteran Sanchez to loss the competition for the starting job. “When we came out, before we went out, he [Kubiak] told me I was going to get the whole second half”.
The Rams settled for three field goals by Greg Zuerlein.
Unfortunately, rumors have circulated that suggest Sanchez may also be at risk of losing his spot to the other two quarterbacks. “But I didn’t want to sit behind a desk or on my front porch 10 years down the road and say, Aw shucks, I should have played; I should have given it a shot”. “I’m feeling comfortable out there. We’ll meet as a staff and we’ll go from there”.
Broncos CB Aqib Talib was pulled following his 15-yard penalty for hitting Keenum out of bounds on a scramble in which the Rams QB was heading for the sideline, not turning upfield.
Fresh off claiming their third ever Super Bowl, Denver lost Hall of Fame quarterback Peyton Manning to retirement and backup Brock Osweiler, who impressed in seven starts in 2015, to the Houston Texans in free agency. That included Terrell Davis’ 2,008 yards in 1998.

Rams: DE Robert Quinn received his first playing time since undergoing back surgery in December. Latimer suffered a knee injury while blocking on a punt return in the third quarter. He’s kind of the sleeper, I would say. FB Andy Janovich injured a shoulder.
