ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- The Denver Broncos have decided to start rookie quarterback Paxton Lynch on Sunday against the Atlanta Falcons after watching Trevor Siemian throw with an injured left shoulder Saturday, sources confirmed to ESPN.After Fridays practice, Broncos coach Gary Kubiak said he wanted to see Siemian throw at the teams practice Saturday morning. Several team sources said Siemian showed some improvement in that session, but it was clearly not enough to satisfy Kubiak, so Lynch was told he will start against the Falcons.Denvers 9News first reported that Lynch would get Sundays start.As of early Saturday evening, Siemian also was expected to be among the Broncos inactives Sunday, so Austin Davis would serve as the teams No. 2 quarterback.Siemian suffered a bruise to his non-throwing shoulder just before halftime of last Sundays 27-7 victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He was held out of practice Wednesday, but he threw Thursday and Friday, showing improvement each day.Lynch, who was 14 of 24 for 170 yards and a touchdown in just over a half of work against the Buccaneers, will get his first career start. Lynch took most of the work with the starting offense this past week as the Broncos had tried to prepare for the possibility he would have to start against the Falcons.Lynch will face a Falcons team that is ranked 30th in the league in total defense, 31st in pass defense and tied for 31st in sacks with just four.The Broncos traded up from the 31st pick in Aprils draft to select Lynch at No. 26. He was the third quarterback taken, behind Jared Goff and Carson Wentz.On Friday, Kubiak said Siemians practice on Saturday would have a lot to say about who the Broncos would play at quarterback.Weve got 48 hours here, well see how he is [Saturday], Kubiak said Friday afternoon. ... Well probably work him [Saturday] more than we normally would a player on Saturday just to take a look. Hes made progress every day.When Kubiak was asked how he would decide whether Siemian would play, the coach said it would be determined by the eye test.Me watching him move, watching him make all the throws, Kubiak said. We moved him around some [Friday], which is something we didnt do [Thursday], so just go back and look at the big picture.Siemian suffered the injury when he was sacked by Buccaneers defensive tackle Clinton McDonald just before halftime. To make the tackle, McDonald swung Siemian around and tossed him down directly on the left shoulder.The Broncos have won all four of Siemians starts, and he has thrown for 824 yards to go with six touchdowns and three interceptions. Kubiak has answered questions about Siemians future -- when hes cleared to play -- with Trevors our starter, but the Broncos have a quick turnaround after Sundays game as well.The Broncos will play in San Diego on Thursday night.

RIO DE JANEIRO -- On a corner outside the athletes village, a soldier carrying an automatic weapon tried his best to keep from smiling as he posed for a cameraman trying to put a face on security at the Olympics.All is not quite fun and games just yet in Rio, though beleaguered organizers are hoping that changes soon. Most competitions begin Saturday and, barring a potential disaster, the discussion may actually turn from the problems of Rio to sports from badminton to basketball in an extravaganza that only the worlds biggest sporting event can bring.It will happen in a city of astonishing beauty and incredible poverty. It will happen despite worries about everything from virus-carrying mosquitoes to gun-toting criminals.And it will happen with some athletes eyeing each other carefully, not knowing if the playing field is truly level.The Rio Olympics open with a lot more at stake than gold medals and national pride. Not since Los Angeles rescued the troubled movement with a stripped-down version of the games in 1984 has there been more trepidation about the future of the massive sporting event.Some issues, like the Zika mosquitoes, were out of the control of the International Olympic Committee. Others were things they simply failed to control, like the rampant dopers who have made a mockery of the Olympic movement itself.Bowing down to Vladimir Putin and allowing Russian athletes to remain in the games may have prevented a full-blown Cold War from breaking out among Olympic nations. But it also highlighted a schism between Olympic officials and those running the World Anti-Doping Agency, bringing into question their commitment to clean sport.It also exposed the IOC as a spineless organization more bent on self-preservation than on ensuring cheaters are not allowed in any Olympic sport.Disappointing, but hardly surprising.These are the same people, you might remember, who awarded the first Olympics in South America to Rio in 2009, buying without question the promise that in seven years Rio would somehow clean up waters long polluted by raw sewage and build mass transportation systems to whisk people around town.Instead, the citys highways are a logjam and on Saturday athletes will row their way through the slimy and dangerous waters of Rodrigo de Freitas lagoon, where hastily erected barricades and garbage collection boats will be on duty so that television viewers from around the world wont have to see just how filthy the water really is.ddddddddddddIts enough to make some of the stuffed shirts at the IOC a bit unsettled.How worried should we be? Prince Albert of Monaco asked his fellow IOC members this week.Plenty worried, though about seven years too late. Every Olympics has its issues -- few thought Athens would ever be able to pull off the 2004 Games -- but there are so many facing Rio that there will be a collective sigh of relief if everything has gone off mostly as planned when the Olympics end in just over two weeks.Indeed, IOC President Thomas Bach envisions clear sailing for the Olympic movement if that happens.If this model stands such a stress test like it had to here in Brazil, then you can see that this model is more than robust, Bach said.NBC for one isnt worried. The Olympics have long been little more than a long-running prime-time summer TV show and the network that paid $1.2 billion for the games says it will make money on this edition.Rather than cutting into ad sales, the stories about crime, Zika and Brazils economic and political woes have actually increased them. And the backdrop for these games will be a directors dream, with stunning views from venues around the city, including beach volleyball on the famed Copacabana Beach.The billions in TV revenue have padded the IOC coffers and increased its appetite for adding sports to an already bloated program that for some incomprehensible reason now includes golf. The newest for Tokyo will be sport climbing, surfing and skateboarding, efforts to lure younger viewers into the games while traditional track and field and other sports are in decline.It may turn out that Bach is right. Barring a terrorist attack or mass illness of rowers and sailors, Rio -- for all its myriad of problems -- may be remembered as a success.Proof that no matter how incompetently theyre managed, the Olympics are simply too big to fail.----Tim Dahlberg is a national sports columnist for The Associated Press.
