The Denver Broncos have announced their list of seven inactive players for Sunday’s game against the Los Angeles Chargers.
Broncos quarterback Zach Wilson*, running back Blake Watson, cornerback Kris Abrams-Draine, safety JL Skinner, defensive back Keidron Smith, offensive tackle Alex Palczewski (ankle) and tight end Greg Dulcich are inactive today.
*Technically, Wilson is still available to play as the team’s emergency third-string quarterback behind starter Bo Nix and primary backup Jarrett Stidham, but he’s on the inactive list and does not count against the game-day roster. Wilson can play if both Nix and Stidham are injured.
With the exception of Wilson, these inactive players are members of the 53-man roster who are not eligible to play against the Chargers. They will be reactivated on Monday.
Of note for Los Angeles, star pass rusher Joey Bosa (hip) is inactive today.
Defensive lineman Eyioma Uwazurike is active for the first time this season. Wide receiver Devaughn Vele is also active following the Josh Reynolds injury and running back Audric Estime returns after being activated from injured reserve on Saturday.
