General manager John Elway said Tuesday that he might still sign a veteran to back up starting QB Case Keenum if he doesn't feel Chad Kelly can win games in a pinch."I'm not going to tell you we're definitely going to stand pat Womens Customized Miami Dolphins Jerseys , but I'm not telling you we're going (in) that direction, either," Elway told 103.5 The Fox radio station in Denver.The Broncos promoted Kelly over former first-round pick Paxton Lynch this week following their contrasting performances in training camp and in the preseason opener last weekend, when Lynch threw for just 24 yards over seven series with the second string. Kelly had a pair of touchdowns in mop-up duty against the Minnesota Vikings."We've got to have confidence that that guy that's going to be the backup can play and win football games," Elway said. "And so that's why we're still in that process of trying to see if we've got that guy behind Case."Even though Chad played very well on Saturday night — we'll see how he does this week — but if something were to happen to Case, can he come in and continue to win football games for us?" Elway said. "That's the big part of the evaluation process and that's still going on."Kelly will get plenty of work with the second stringers as the Broncos host the Chicago Bears for joint practices Wednesday and Thursday before their preseason game Saturday night in Denver.Kelly, whose uncle in NFL Hall of Famer Jim Kelly, threw for 97 touchdowns and 29 interceptions during a collegiate career that began at Clemson (2012-13) www.dolphinscheapshops.com , continued at East Mississippi Junior College (2014) and finished at Ole Miss (2015-16).Elway selected him with the final pick of the 2017 NFL draft, but Kelly missed his rookie season while recovering from wrist and knee injuries, watching as the Broncos rolled through quarterbacks Trevor Siemian, Brock Osweiler and Lynch during a 5-11 season.Osweiler wasn't re-signed in the offseason and Siemian was traded after Keenum's arrival in March, when Elway declared the backup job up for grabs.Kelly had a solid offseason and consistently outplayed Lynch, the former Memphis QB whom Elway moved up to draft in the first round in 2016 following Peyton Manning's retirement.Kelly completed 14 of 21 passes for 177 yards, two TDs and an interception against the Vikings while the crowd serenaded him with chants of "Kelly! Kelly!""He's had a great camp, he's a competitive guy Miami Dolphins T-Shirt , he comes out and he works hard. He wants to be good," Elway said. "And so, he's the type of guy that you love to have on your football team. So, he did a great job the other night and we'll see how he does this week."Coach Vance Joseph said Tuesday that Lynch was mad and miffed over the switch ."He is upset. He didn't like it. He wants to know why," Joseph said. "And he has to play better. It's as simple as that. It's a competition. It's the league. Everyone's doing this. No one's not playing their best players."And it's really more about Chad. Chad has competed and Chad's played well. Because if Chad's not playing well, (Lynch) is still a 2. So, it's really more about what Chad has done from the spring to now."Dolphins release first preseason depth chart for 2018 The Miami Dolphins are four days away from their first preseason game for 2018. The team is getting ready to actually return to the field in a full game situation following their annual scrimmage yesterday. The Dolphins will only hold two practices this week, hitting their Davie facilities on Monday and Tuesday before an off day on Wednesday leading into Thursday night’s game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.Another step in the preparation for the opening game of the preseason for the Dolphins is the release of the team’s first depth chart. Things will obviously change between now and the start of the regular season Miami Dolphins Hats , but the first depth chart also gives us a chance to see what the coaches are thinking when it comes to the roster.The Dolphins used “or” in a few places on the depth chart, such as the starting running back. To reflect that, both players are listed in the higher slot on the depth chart, then that spot is blank in the lower of the slots. Once a position has been exhausted of players, “None” is listed.First TeamWR: DeVante ParkerLT: Laremy TunsilLG: Josh SittonC: Daniel KilgoreRG: Jesse DavisRT: Ja’Wuan JamesTE: MarQueis GrayQB: Ryan TannehillRB: Kenyan Drake / Frank GoreWR: Danny AmendolaWR: Kenny StillsDE: Cameron WakeDT: Jordan Phillips / Davon GodchauxDT: Akeem SpenceDE: Robert QuinnLB: Kiko AlonsoLB: Raekwon McMillanLB: Stephone AnthonyCB: Xavien HowardCB: Bobby McCainS: Reshad JonesS: T.J.

For example, Gesicki and Smythe should jump ahead of Escobar and Duarte before the preseason is over, with both pushing Gray and Derby for the top two spots on the depth chart. At wide receiver, Carroo is already starting to get buried Miami Dolphins Hoodie , which is not a good sign for him. Head coach Adam Gase said of Carroo last week, “He has to just keep battling. He can’t look at what anybody is saying, depth chart or however you want to look at it, how many reps – just keep playing football. He knows that preseason games are where his best opportunities are going to come.” Lippett being behind McTyer is interesting; McTyer has been having a good camp and this could be a reflection of that or how the coaches want to bring Lippett along slowly after his injury last year. Nothing else feels like a big surprise.
