Denver Broncos quarterback Teddy Bridgewater cleared concussion protocol and will start against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 5, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Receiver Courtland Sutton will also play despite being listed as questionable after rolling his ankle at Friday's practice.

The Broncos listed the veteran signal-caller as questionable on Friday's injury report after he suffered a concussion that forced him out of last week's loss to the Baltimore Ravens in the second half.

Bridgewater has completed 72.1% of his passes this season while tossing five touchdowns against zero interceptions. The 28-year-old is also averaging 223 passing yards per game.

Third-year passer Drew Lock replaced Bridgewater in Week 4, tossing 113 yards, no touchdowns, and one interception in the contest.
