FILE - In this Aug. 19, 2019, file photo, Denver Broncos quarterback Kevin Hogan (9) throws against the San Francisco 49ers during the second half of an NFL preseason football game, in Denver. The conventional thought was Kevin Hogan would be the Denver Broncos backup at quarterback. For now, anyway. Just until rookie Drew Lock got up to speed. But Lock is making a strong run at being No. 2 behind Joe Flacco. (AP Photo/Jack Dempsey, File)

FILE - In this Aug. 19, 2019, file photo, Denver Broncos quarterback Joe Flacco (5) throws a pass against the San Francisco 49ers during an NFL preseason football game in Denver. Flacco is the latest in a long line of quarterbacks Broncos GM John Elway has acquired since Peyton Manning's retirement in 2016. "It's a hard position to fill," Elway said. "We tried to shake all these trees around here the last four years and quarterbacks didn't fall out of it." (AP Photo/Jack Dempsey, File)

Garoppolo remains a mostly untested commodity with 10 career starts in five seasons and has struggled in training camp and exhibitions. He must show that the Niners made the right choice when they invested in him. (AP Photo/David Zalubowski, File)

FILE - In this Aug. 19, 2019, file photo, Denver Broncos quarterback Joe Flacco (5) throws a pass against the San Francisco 49ers during an NFL preseason football game in Denver. More than ever NFL teams are choosing protection over preparation when it comes to their quarterback’s workload in the preseason. The Broncos and Raiders, who cap off the NFL’s opening weekend Monday night, are two examples. Oakland’s Derek Carr took just six snaps and threw two passes in the preseason and Denver’s new quarterback, Joe Flacco, directed just four series in the preseason. (AP Photo/Jack Dempsey, File)

By and large, however, those same players say they trust the protocols the NFL will have in place by the time practices resume and games return. (AP Photo/Jack Dempsey, File)
