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)
