Tim Tebow Not Expected to Play Against Raiders

Ed Werder reported on ESPN's Monday Night Countdown that Tim Tebow will be in uniform, but he doesn't expect to play against the Raiders.

Of course, this shouldn't be much of an issue because Kyle Orton is the starting quarterback of the Denver Broncos. However, for whatever reason, people really seem to care about the backup quarterback position. Does this assume that Brady Quinn would play if Kyle Orton gets hurt? Possibly, but if things go the way they are supposed to, Kyle Orton will lead the Broncos to a win tonight, without help from Quinn or Tebow.

Another interesting note from Werder is the vantage point of John Elway. Instead of entertaining executives, John will be seated in the coaching booth. This will allow him to be more in-tune with the playcalling and the overall flow of the game.

As more news develops, leading up to the Monday Night Football game, we'll be sure to pass it along. Keep it locked onto MHR, all night.
