The Denver Broncos have announced their list of seven inactive players for Sunday’s season opener against the Seattle Seahawks.
Broncos tight end Lucas Krull, wide receiver Troy Franklin, defensive lineman Eyioma Uwazurike, running back Blake Watson, cornerback Kris Abrams-Draine and offensive tackle Frank Crum won’t suit up today.
Denver quarterback Zach Wilson is also technically inactive, but he is available as an emergency third-string quarterback in Seattle.
With the exception of Wilson, these players are members of the 53-man roster who are not eligible to play against the Seahawks. They will be reactivated on Monday.
Elsewhere on the roster front, the Broncos elevated fullback Michael Burton and wide receiver Lil’Jordan Humphrey from the practice squad to the game-day roster on Saturday. After playing against the Seahawks, Burton and Humphrey will revert to the practice squad on Monday.
Sunday’s showdown between Denver and Seattle will be regionally televised on select CBS networks. The Broncos are considered 5.5-point road underdogs in Week 1.
