Broncos' OL Quinn Meinerz was selected for a random drug test by the NFL after throwing Aaron Donald to the ground mid-p Via @BleacherReport on X

What happened: Denver Broncos lineman Quinn Meinerz said he was tabbed for the league's random drug test. The notice followed a play in which he threw Aaron Donald to the ground mid-play.

Why it matters: Donald entered the league as the 13th overall pick in 2014 out of Pittsburgh. Meinerz entered as a 2021 third-round pick and was graded PFF's top interior lineman last season, making the rep a visible interior-line win.

By the numbers: Quinn Meinerz: 2021 3rd-round, 98th overall, Wisconsin-Whitewater; 17 games, 1 tackle in 2025 (per ESPN, as of 2026-09-29). Aaron Donald: 2014 1st-round, 13th overall, Pittsburgh (as of 2026-09-29).

What to watch: Denver continues 2026 regular-season play with Meinerz anchoring the interior.
