The Denver Broncos are expected to start Paxton Lynch at quarterback in Sunday’s road game against the Oakland Raiders.
Denver has been plagued by quarterback play during its six-game losing streak. The Broncos fired offensive coordinator Mike McCoy on Monday and promoted Bill Musgrave to the same position.
The San Francisco 49ers waived defensive end Datone Jones.
Jones recorded six tackles in three games with the 49ers since signing a one-year deal on Oct 24.

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Robert Woods will be sidelined at least the next two games with a sprained left shoulder, coach Sean McVay announced.
Woods reeled in eight receptions for 81 yards versus the Vikings and leads the team in catches (47), targets (70) and receiving yards (703) this season. He also is tied with Sammy Watkins for the team lead among receivers in touchdowns (four).
Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said in a radio interview there a “chance” Pro Bowl left tackle Tyron Smith will play against the Los Angeles Chargers on Thanksgiving Day.
Smith, who has been sidelined with back and groin injuries, was listed as a limited participant in Monday’s walkthrough.

Dmitrij Jaskin, Scottie Upshall and Paul Stastny also scored for St Louis. Jaden Schwartz had three points, including his 100th career goal.
Milan Lucic, Leon Draisaitl and Darnell Nurse scored for the Oilers. Cam Talbot was pulled in favor of Lauren Brossoit after facing just three shots. Brossoit allowed six goals on 37 shots.
Veteran defenseman Jay Bouwmeester, a two-time All-Star, played his first game of the season for the Blues after breaking his ankle during training camp in September.
Edmonton is 1-5 in its last six games.
In Philadelphia, Brock Boeser scored twice and Daniel Sedin inched closer to a major NHL milestone, leading Vancouver past slumping Philadelphia.

to earn his sixth win of the season as Vancouver improved to 10-8-3 with its second victory in six games.
Ivan Provorov and Jakub Voracek scored for the Flyers, who lost their fifth straight and fell below .500 (8-94) for the first time this season.
Michal Neuvirth took the loss, allowing four goals on 22 shots. He was replaced by Brian Elliott with 5:20 remaining in the second period.
In Dallas, Devin Shore and Jason Spezza scored 59 seconds apart late in the second period to lift Dallas over Montreal.
Shore had no goals in the first 19 games this season, but scored for the second straight game to tie it 1-all at 18:22 of the second. Spezza, who also has scored in consecutive games after netting only one goal in the first 19, put in a rebound just less than a minute later.
Shore had an assist on Spezza’s goal. So did Tyler Seguin, who scored into an empty net with 27 seconds to play.
Ben Bishop made 29 saves for Dallas on his 31st birthday. He allowed only a power-play goal by Brendan Gallagher at 12:04 of the second. After that, the Stars killed off all three Montreal power plays in the third period.
Canadiens goalie Charlie Lindgren had 26 saves.
Pittsburgh Penguins center Evgeni Malkin will miss at least one game with an upper-body injury.
Coach Mike Sullivan announced the injury on Tuesday. Malkin will sit out on Wednesday night when the Penguins host Vancouver. Sullivan says Malkin will be re-evaluated on Thursday. Pittsburgh visits Boston on Friday and hosts Tampa Bay on Saturday.
Malkin is second on the team in scoring, with seven goals and 14 assists in 22 games for the two-time defending Stanley Cup champions. It’s unclear who will fill his spot on the second line with Phil Kessel and Bryan Rust. Jake Guentzel practiced with them on Tuesday.
