The Denver Broncos have announced their list of seven inactive players for a Sunday’s showdown with the Carolina Panthers in Week 8 of the 2024 NFL season.
Of note, Broncos cornerback Pat Surtain (concussion) is ACTIVE after passing the NFL’s concussion protocol.
Denver’s inactive players today are quarterback Zach Wilson*, safety P.J. Locke (thumb), offensive tackle Alex Palczewski (ankle), cornerback Kris Abrams-Draine, tight end Greg Dulcich, outside linebacker Dondrea Tillman and defensive lineman Eyioma Uwazurike.
With Locke inactive, Devon Key is presumably the next man up at safety. JL Skinner and Keidron Smith are also available behind starter Brandon Jones.
*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 Panthers. They will be reactivated on Monday.
