Denver Broncos:

Thoughts:

The Broncos will be without a handful of young players who they expected to contribute this year tonight. Wide receiver Bennie Fowler(back), offensive lineman Ty Sambrailo(elbow) and tight end Jeff Heuerman(ankle) are inactive for tonight's game.

Look for Cody Latimer, Jordan Norwood, and Jordan Taylor to step in for Fowler in the passing game, especially with the Broncos only having two tight ends active. Tight end Jeff Heuerman is inactive so look for veteran Jon Phillips to get some action tonight.

Veteran Austin Davis is inactive so rookie first round pick Paxton Lynch will serve as Trevor Siemian's backup for tonight's game.

The rest of the Broncos include a pair of rookies, guard Connor McGovern and nose tackle Kyle Peko. Finally, Training Camp hero Lorenzo Doss is also inactive for tonight's game.
