Broncos inactives: 6 players won’t play on ‘Monday Night Football’

Broncos inactives tonight: Zach Wilson, CB Riley Moss (knee), LB Drew Sanders, OL Nick Gargiulo, OT Frank Crum and DL Eyioma Uwazurike.

The Denver Broncos have announced their list of six inactive players for Monday’s showdown with the Cleveland Browns in Week 13 of the 2024 NFL season.

The Broncos’ inactive players today are quarterback Zach Wilson*, cornerback Riley Moss (knee), linebacker Drew Sanders, guard/center Nick Gargiulo, offensive tackle Frank Crum and defensive lineman Eyioma Uwazurike.

*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 Moss sidelined, Levi Wallace is expected to start across from Pat Surtain as the team’s No. 2 cornerback. Ja’Quan McMillian plays in the slot.

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