Broncos inactives: RB Audric Estime won’t play vs. Bills today

The Denver Broncos have announced their list of six inactive players for Sunday’s Wild Card playoff game against the Buffalo Bills.

The Broncos’ inactive players today are quarterback Zach Wilson*, running back Audric Estime, running back Blake Watson, linebacker Levelle Bailey, offensive lineman Nick Gargiulo and and defensive end Eyioma Uwazurike.

With Estime a healthy scratch, Denver’s top running backs will be Jaleel McLaughlin, Javonte Williams and Tyler Badie, who was just activated from injured reserve on Saturday.

*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 Bills. They will be reactivated on Monday.
