Denver Broncos Week 9 inactives vs. Baltimore Ravens
The Denver Broncos have released their list of inactives for today’s game against the Baltimore Ravens.
Broncos Week 9 inactives
- Quarterback Zach Wilson (emergency quarterback)
- Tight end Greg Dulcich
- Cornerback Damarri Mathis
- Safety P.J. Locke
- Cornerback Kris Abrams-Draine
- Offensive tackle Frank Crum
- Outside linebacker Dondrea Tillman
Wilson will be the Broncos’ No. 3 emergency quarterback, as has been the standard all season long. Dulcich will be inactive once again in favor of Lucas Krull, who has emerged with more snaps alongside tight ends Adam Trautman and Nate Adkins.
Locke was ruled out of today’s game on Friday after not practicing all week long as he deals with a thumb injury. Abrams-Draine is inactive once again as well due to the Broncos’ overall strength and depth at cornerback, with Levi Wallace, Ja’Quan McMillian, Riley Moss, Tremon Smith, and Patrick Surtain II playing on defense and special teams. Mathis joins Abrams-Draine on the inactive list at the cornerback position as Denver looks to sell out against the Baltimore Ravens run game, led by Derrick Henry.
Defensive lineman Eyioma Uwazurike is usually inactive but will be active this morning against the Ravens as an extra defensive lineman. Denver used a similar strategy against the Los Angeles Chargers. He’ll be the sixth active defensive lineman behind Zach Allen, John Franklin-Myers, D.J. Jones, Malcolm Roach, and Jordan Jackson.
With the return of offensive tackle Alex Palczewski from injury, Crum reverts back to being a gameday inactive.
Kickoff will occur here in the next 90 minutes.
