Broncos inactives: Starting defensive back won’t play vs. Panthers

Broncos inactives today: Zach Wilson*, Alex Palczewski, P.J. Locke, Kris Abrams-Draine, Greg Dulcich, Dondrea Tillman and Eyioma Uwazurike.

The Denver Broncos have announced their list of seven inactive players for a Sunday’s showdown with the Carolina Panthers in Week 8 of the 2024 NFL season.

Of note, Broncos cornerback Pat Surtain (concussion) is ACTIVE after passing the NFL’s concussion protocol.

Denver’s inactive players today are quarterback Zach Wilson*, safety P.J. Locke (thumb), offensive tackle Alex Palczewski (ankle), cornerback Kris Abrams-Draine, tight end Greg Dulcich, outside linebacker Dondrea Tillman and defensive lineman Eyioma Uwazurike.

With Locke inactive, Devon Key is presumably the next man up at safety. JL Skinner and Keidron Smith are also available behind starter Brandon Jones.

*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 Panthers. They will be reactivated on Monday.

8 players did not play in Broncos’ game vs. Jets

Eight Broncos players did not play against the Jets, including rookie RB Blake Watson, who has been inactive for all four games this fall.

Eight members of the 53-man roster did not play in the Denver Broncos’ 10-9 win over the New York Jets on Sunday.

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 were inactive in Week 4.

Skinner was ruled out with an ankle injury. Vele injured his ribs in Week 1 but he did not appear on the injury report last week, so it seems that he was a healthy scratch against the Jets.

Despite being inactive, Wilson still dressed as the team’s emergency third-string quarterback in New Jersey. Bo Nix played every snap on offense, so primary backup Jarrett Stidham also did not play, giving Denver eight total players who did not see the field against the Jets.

After Tyler Badie injured his back against New York, Watson might be in line to be active for the first time against the Las Vegas Raiders next week.

Broncos injury report: JL Skinner ruled out for Week 4

Broncos safety JL Skinner (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday’s game against the Jets. Here’s the complete injury report.

Denver Broncos safety and special teams ace JL Skinner (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday’s game against the New York Jets after missing two straight weeks of practice.

Last week, Denver elevated safety Tanner McCalister from the practice squad to the game-day roster. With Skinner out again this week, McCalister might be a candidate for another elevation in Week 4.

Elsewhere on the injury report, tight end/fullback Nate Adkins (shoulder) and wide receiver Josh Reynolds (Achilles) are cleared to play.

Broncos injuries: JL Skinner held out of practice again

Broncos safety JL Skinner’s status for Sunday’s game against the Jets is in doubt after he was held out of practice again on Thursday.

Denver Broncos safety JL Skinner (ankle) missed practice again on Thursday, marking the fifth straight practice he has been held out dating back to last week. Barring a quick recovery turnaround, the safety seems unlikely to play against the New York Jets on Sunday.

Elsewhere on the injury report, tight end/fullback Nate Adkins (shoulder) was limited Thursday and wide receiver Josh Reynolds (Achilles) was upgraded to a full participant.

The Broncos elevated safety Tanner McCalister from the practice squad to the game-day roster when Skinner was ruled out last week. If Skinner is not able to play against the Jets, McCalister will likely be a candidate to get called up again in Week 4.

Broncos injury news: One player held out of practice

Broncos DB JL Skinner (ankle) did not practice Wednesday. TE/FB Nate Adkins (shoulder) and WR Josh Reynolds (Achilles) were limited.

Denver Broncos safety JL Skinner (ankle) was held out of practice Wednesday. The safety also missed all of practice last week and did not play in Sunday’s game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Elsewhere on the injury report, tight end/fullback Nate Adkins (shoulder) and wide receiver Josh Reynolds (Achilles) were limited at practice.

The biggest injury news of the day was Denver placing linebacker Alex Singleton on injured reserve with a season-ending torn ACL. Because he has been moved off the 53-man roster to IR, Singleton does not appear on the injury report.

8 players did not play in Broncos’ game vs. Buccaneers

Eight Broncos players did not play against the Bucs, including rookie RB Blake Watson, who has been inactive for all three games this fall.

Eight members of the 53-man roster did not play in the Denver Broncos’ 26-7 victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday.

Broncos quarterback Zach Wilson, safety JL Skinner, wide receiver Devaughn Vele, running back Blake Watson, cornerback Kris Abrams-Draine, tight end Lucas Krull and defensive lineman Eyioma Uwazurike were inactive in Week 3.

Skinner was ruled out with an ankle injury and Vele is still getting back up to speed after suffering a ribs injury in Week 1. The five other inactive players were healthy scratches on Sunday.

Despite being inactive, Wilson still dressed as the team’s emergency third-string quarterback. Bo Nix played every snap on offense, so primary backup Jarrett Stidham also did not play, giving Denver eight total players who did not see the field against the Buccaneers.

Broncos rookie running back Blake Watson has been inactive for all three games this season. Tyler Badie was elevated from the practice squad to the game-day roster on Sunday and he impressed. We might see Badie eventually fully promoted to the active roster if he keeps playing well.

Broncos injury news: Baron Browning ruled out for Week 3

Broncos OLB Baron Browning (foot) and DB JL Skinner (ankle) have been ruled out for Sunday’s game against the Buccaneers.

The Denver Broncos have ruled out outside linebacker Baron Browning (foot) for Sunday’s game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers after he missed all three days of practice this week.

Jonah Elliss and Nik Bonitto are the next men up at pass rusher following Browning’s injury. One of them will start across from Jonathon Cooper in Week 3, and Dondrea Tillman was promoted from the practice squad to the active roster this week to provide more depth at the position.

Elsewhere on the injury front, safety JL Skinner (ankle) has also been ruled out. Keidron Smith could be the next man up to replace Skinner on special teams.

Meanwhile, safety Brandon Jones (foot) and defensive lineman John Franklin-Myers (concussion) have been cleared to play.

Broncos injuries: Baron Browning trending toward not playing

Broncos OLB Baron Browning (foot) missed practice again on Thursday, putting his status in doubt for Sunday’s game against the Bucs.

Denver Broncos outside linebacker Baron Browning (foot) did not practice again on Thursday after previously missing Wednesday’s session. The 25-year-old pass rusher appears to be trending toward not playing against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 3.

Denver added more depth at outside linebacker this week by promoting Dondrea Tillman to the active roster and signing Andrew Farmer to the practice squad, perhaps early signs that Browning’s status was in doubt.

Elsewhere on the injury front, safety JL Skinner (ankle) was also held out Thursday while safety Brandon Jones (foot) and defensive lineman John Franklin-Myers (concussion) returned on a limited basis.

Broncos injuries: Baron Browning did not practice Wednesday

Broncos OLB Baron Browning (foot) did not practice Wednesday, and the team added depth at his position this week.

Denver Broncos outside linebacker Baron Browning (foot) was among four players held out of Wednesday’s practice.

Also sidelined were safety Brandon Jones (foot), defensive lineman John Franklin-Myers (concussion) and safety JL Skinner (ankle).

Franklin-Myers has a “50-50” chance of playing against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers this week after suffering a “mild concussion” in Week 2, according to the Denver Gazette‘s Chris Tomasson. Eyioma Uwazurike is listed behind JFM on the depth chart, but Jordan Jackson and Malcolm Roach would be more likely candidates to fill in if needed.

The Broncos promoted outside linebacker Dondrea Tillman to the active roster and signed Andrew Farmer to the practice squad on Wednesday, moves that might signal Browning’s status for Week 3 is in doubt.
