Eight members of the 53-man roster did not play in the Denver Broncos‘ 30-24 overtime loss to the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 17 of the 2024 NFL season.

Broncos quarterback Zach Wilson*, wide receiver David Sills, running back Blake Watson, linebacker Levelle Bailey, offensive tackle Frank Crum and defensive linemen Matt Henningsen and Eyioma Uwazurike were inactive on Saturday.

*Wilson was inactive but still dressed as an emergency third quarterback. Jarrett Stidham, Denver’s primary backup quarterback, also did not play as Bo Nix took every snap on offense, giving the Broncos eight total players who did not see the field. Stidham has only appeared in two games this season.
