Rypien will start Sunday against the Cardinals, as Russell Wilson (concussion) has been ruled out, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.
Wilson successfully passed concussion protocol, but the 3-10 Broncos will keep their pricey starting quarterback out in Week 15 out of an abundance of caution. As a result, Rypien will be tabbed for his second start of the season at home against a Cardinals defense that's giving up a league-high 26.8 points per game.
