ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) — A person with knowledge of the decision says the Denver Broncos will start Tim Tebow against the Miami Dolphins when they return from their bye week.
A member of the organization confirmed the move Tuesday, speaking on condition of anonymity because coach John Fox hadn’t made the official announcement. He’s scheduled to address the media following Tuesday’s practice.
Tebow supplants Kyle Orton, who has struggled ever since winning the job with a spectacular training camp.
Replacing Orton at halftime Sunday, Tebow nearly led the Broncos back from a late 16-point deficit, falling a desperation pass short in a 29-24 loss to San Diego. Tebow had his troubles — three fumbled snaps — but he ran for a touchdown and threw for another while energizing the Broncos.
