The Denver Broncos have hired Mike McCoy as the team's offensive coordinator and added Bill Musgrave to the staff as the quarterbacks coach.
The Broncos said QB Mark Sanchez will start Thursday's preseason opener against the Bears. Trevor Siemian will play the second quarter, with rookie Paxton Lynch set to play the second half.
New Broncos quarterback Mark Sanchez has thumb surgery, expected to miss at least a week.
Mark Sanchez isn't threatened by the Broncos' selection of Paxton Lynch in the NFL draft. Instead, he sees the selection as a vote of confidence in himself as the team's No. 1 quarterback.
The Broncos moved up from pick No. 31 to No. 26 via a trade with the Seahawks and selected Memphis quarterback Paxton Lynch, likely ending their pursuit of Colin Kaepernick, GM John Elway said.
Highly touted QB Paxton Lynch will leave Memphis and enter the NFL draft, the junior announced Thursday.
