The Denver Broncos have released their list of inactive players for today’s game against the Indianapolis Colts in a matchup that has massive post-season implications for both teams. Kickoff is set in the next 90 minutes in what will be the biggest game in Broncos Country since the AFC Championship game in 2016.
Denver Broncos Week 15 inactives vs. Indianapolis Colts
The Denver Broncos will be without cornerback Riley Moss in today’s game, missing his second straight game since suffering an MCL injury in the Broncos win against the Las Vegas Raiders a few weeks ago. He did not participate all week in practice despite participating in team stretch and then heading to the side field for additional work, which is a great sign of a return here soon.

It won’t come on Sunday, though, as the Broncos will face Anthony Richardson and his trio of impactful wide receivers, Alec Pierce, Michael Pittman Jr., and Josh Downs, who makes his return today from an injury.
Despite Moss’s injury, veteran cornerback Levi Wallace is also inactive.
Other players joining Moss and Wallace on the inactive list include quarterback Zach Wilson, defensive lineman Eyioma Uwazurike, offensive tackle Frank Crum, offensive lineman Nick Gargiulo, and inside linebacker Levelle Bailey.
Wilson will continue to remain as the team’s emergency quarterback option behind Bo Nix and Jarrett Stidham, while Uwazurike, Crum, Gargiulo, continue their streak of being inactive. Bailey drops back to inactive, and Drew Sanders gets his first active designation for the season.
Cornerbacks Kris Abrams-Draine and Damarri Mathis will get time opposite Patrick Surtain II today.
