Paxton Lynch is likely to be The Guy for the final two weeks.

According to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, the Broncos are expected to start Lynch at quarterback as soon as he proves he's fully recovered from his ankle injury. Lynch will practice Wednesday and an official decision could be made then.

Rapoport reports the team would like to finish out the year by evaluating their former first-round pick, whose only start this season, Week 12 against the Raiders, was cut short due to injury.

Lynch was in the team facility over the weekend to rehab and work on his throwing, coach Vance Joseph revealed Monday. Joseph also said what Rapoport echoed -- that Denver needs another look at Lynch.

"We want to see Paxton play some, so that’s the truth," said Joseph. "We have to see where he is as a player moving into the offseason—that’s important for our football team moving forward."

Brock Osweiler, taking over for an injured Trevor Siemian (IR, shoulder), turned in a stellar performance in last Thursday's win over the Colts, but the Broncos already know what they have in him. The same cannot be said about Lynch, and a consensus must be formed before they turn the page to 2018.
