Broncos inactives: Starting safety won’t play vs. Falcons

The Denver Broncos have announced their list of seven inactive players for Sunday’s showdown with the Atlanta Falcons in Week 11 of the 2024 NFL season.

The Broncos’ inactive players today are quarterback Zach Wilson*, safety Brandon Jones (abdomen), cornerback Kris Abrams-Draine, offensive tackle Frank Crum, offensive lineman Calvin Throckmorton, tight end Greg Dulcich and defensive lineman Eyioma Uwazurike.

With Jones sidelined, Devon Key is set to play across from P.J. Locke at safety.

*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 Falcons. They will be reactivated on Monday.
