Tim Tebow Out, Kyle Orton Looks Sharp Despite Denver Broncos Loss

August 22 was the date marked on many Denver Bronco fans as being the homecoming of quarterback Tim Tebow. That did not happen. Tebow has been listed as injured since the first preseason game as he suffered a rib injury.

Despite the absence of Tebow, Denver looked sharped. Although losing the meaningless preseason game 25-20, the Broncos were impressive. 

Orton posted a 107.6 passer rating while throwing two touchdown passes. In Orton's relief, bac-up quarterback Brady Quinn played well. Quinn threw for 115 yards with a completion percentage of 64.7.

For the third quarterback on Denver's roster, Tim Tebow, reportedly has been going through a lot of pain lately. He has been limited to practice and did not participate in last Thursday's practice. No report has been issued on Tebow's presence for next weeks game.

Side Note: Detroit's young stars performed very well tonight. Quarterback Matthew Stafford completed 13 of his 18 passes while racking up 130 yards via air.

Running out of the back-field, Jahvid Best, looked promising. He ran for 49 yards on only 8 carries. Best did not score.
