Drew Lock may already be feeling the pressure of the Denver Broncos' quarterback battle.

The third-year pro threw two interceptions during 11-on-11 drills at Monday's OTA session, according to Mike Klis of 9News.

However, Broncos head coach Vic Fangio wasn't worried about the 24-year-old's performance.

"I think it's too early to come to any conclusions one way or the other, even a small conclusion," Fangio said when asked if Lock is second-guessing himself. "(Quarterbacks coach) Mike Shula and (offensive coordinator) Pat Shurmur are working with him on that stuff. I'm not worried about it at this point."

The coach also provided a possible reason for Lock's off-target throws.

"I think he had a little blister on one of his fingers," Fangio said. "That was part of the issue that you might be alluding to. I don't know how much it bothered him."

Lock completed 57% of his passes and threw 15 picks against 16 touchdowns in 13 games last season.

The Broncos brought in quarterback competition by trading for veteran Teddy Bridgewater prior to April's draft.
