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

The Denver Broncos have announced their list of seven inactive players for a Christmas Eve showdown with the New England Patriots in Week 16.

Broncos quarterback Ben DiNucci, outside linebacker Nik Bonitto (knee), safety JL Skinner, tight end/fullback Nate Adkins, outside linebacker Thomas Incoom, 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 Patriots on Sunday night.

Elsewhere on the roster front, Denver elevated DiNucci and outside linebacker Ronnie Perkins from the practice squad to the game-day roster on Saturday. The Broncos did not activate safety Kareem Jackson to the 53-man roster following his return from a four-game suspension.

Sunday’s game will be nationally televised on NFL Network. Kickoff for the Denver-New England showdown is set for 6:15 p.m. MT. Football fans can stream the Broncos-Patriots game on fuboTV (try it free).
