The Denver Broncos have announced their list of seven inactive players for Sunday’s game against the New York Jets.
Broncos quarterback Zach Wilson*, wide receiver Devaughn Vele, running back Blake Watson, cornerback Kris Abrams-Draine, safety JL Skinner (ankle), tight end Lucas Krull and defensive lineman Eyioma Uwazurike are inactive today.
*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 Jets. They will be reactivated on Monday.

Sunday’s game will be regionally televised on CBS (view the TV map). New York is considered a home favorite against Denver this week.
