Denver Broncos at Las Vegas Raiders Inactives
Note that the full inactive list is released by teams 90 minutes before kickoff. This list will be updated at that time.
Zach Allen, DT
Allen (heel) was a limited participant in Friday’s practice and is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game against the Raiders.
Allen had his full practice Thursday sandwiched between limited practices Wednesday and Friday, and he drawn the questionable tag heading into Sunday’s AFC West showdown. If Allen is unable to play, Jordan Jackson and Eyioma Uwazurike would see an uptick in snaps at defensive end alongside starter John Franklin-Myers. Through 11 regular-season games, Allen has logged 42 tackles (24 solo), including 5.0 sacks, and one pass defensed.
Brandon Jones, S
Jones (abdomen) was listed as a full practice participant on Thursday’s and Friday’s injury report. He was sidelined for the Broncos’ Week 11 win over Atlanta due to an abdomen injury. He opened the week as a limited practice participant Wednesday, but he was able to participate in all team drills the remainder of the week.
Unless he suffers a setback, Jones should suit up for Sunday’s AFC West showdown against the Raiders. The fifth-year safety has logged 74 tackles (49 solo), three pass defenses (including one interception), one forced fumble and one fumble recovery over 10 regular-season games.
Josh Reynolds, WR
Josh Reynolds (hand) has been sidelined since Week 5 and will have to wait another week to suit up. While he’s fully practiced in every session over the past two weeks, he will again be ruled out for this Sunday’s game.
The Denver Broncos designated Reynolds for return on Nov. 13. They’ll have three weeks from that date to formally activate the veteran wideout to their active roster. His continued full participation would seem to suggest that a return is imminent.
Delarrin Turner-Yell, S
Turner-Yell (knee) will remain on the reserve/PUP list Wednesday, and his 21-day window to return will come to a close.
Turner-Yell tore the ACL, MCL, and meniscus in his left knee in the final game last season. He was designated to return from the PUP list Oct. 30, which allowed him to begin practicing with the team again. However, because he will not be moved back to the active roster before the 21-day window closes, he is now forced to remain on the PUP list for the remainder of the season.
