Broncos inactives: 7 players won’t suit up vs. Lions

The Denver Broncos have announced their list of seven inactive players for a Saturday night football showdown with the Detroit Lions in Week 15.

Broncos quarterback Ben DiNucci, outside linebacker Nik Bonitto (knee), safety JL Skinner, tight end/fullback Nate Adkins, inside linebacker Ben Niemann, center Alex Forsyth and defensive lineman Elijah Garcia won’t suit up today.

Those seven inactive players are members of the 53-man roster who are not eligible to play against the Lions on Saturday.

Elsewhere on the roster front, the team elevated DiNucci and nose tackle Tyler Lancaster from the practice squad to the game-day roster on Saturday. DiNucci and Lancaster will revert back to the practice squad on Monday.

Saturday’s game will be nationally televised on NFL Network as part of a tripleheader. Kickoff for the Denver-Detroit showdown is set for 6:15 p.m. MT. Football fans can stream the Broncos-Lions game on fuboTV (try it free).
