Broncos inactives: Zach Allen won’t play vs. Raiders

Broncos inactives: Zach Wilson, Kris Abrams-Draine, Nick Gargiulo, Frank Crum, Calvin Throckmorton, Greg Dulcich and Zach Allen (heel). 

The Denver Broncos have announced their list of seven inactive players for Sunday’s showdown with the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 12 of the 2024 NFL season.

The Broncos’ inactive players today are quarterback Zach Wilson*, cornerback Kris Abrams-Draine, offensive lineman Nick Gargiulo, offensive tackle Frank Crum, offensive lineman Calvin Throckmorton, tight end Greg Dulcich and defensive lineman Zach Allen (heel).

*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 star defensive lineman Zach Allen not available today, Eyioma Uwazurike is active for just the third time this season.

With the exception of Wilson, these inactive players are members of the 53-man roster who are not eligible to play against the Raiders. They will be reactivated on Monday.
