SANTA CLARA, CALIFORNIA - OCTOBER 04: Talanoa Hufanga #9 of the Denver Broncos warms up prior to the start of the game against the San Francisco 49ers at Levi's Stadium on October 04, 2026 in Santa Clara, California. (Photo by Thearon W. Henderson/Getty Images) | Getty Images The Denver Broncos had a bit of good news / bad news on Saturday when they activated wide receiver Pat Bryant off injured reserve and then send defensive lineman Eyioma Uwazurike to injured reserve. The loss of Uwazurike could be a big deal against run-heavy teams as he has been rather stout inside, but that is a worry for another day — probably on the road against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Black Friday. There was initial belief that safety Talanoa Hufanga would be able to play, but after warm ups they decided to shut him down for a fourth-straight game. Outside linebacker Donrea Tillman was the lone other questionable player on the list and he will be active along with Bryant for this game against the Carolina Panthers. With safety Brandon Jones out, the Broncos will also be rolling with their reserve safeties for another week.Here are your gameday inactives for the Week 9 matchup between the Broncos and Panthers:Broncos inactivesQB Sam EhlingerWR Lil’Jordan HumphreyS Talanoa HufangaTE Dallen BentleyOL Kage CaseyS Brandon JonesCB Kris Abrams-DrainePanthers inactivesOLB Jaelan PhillipsQB Haynes KingCB Will Lee IIIRB AJ DillonLB Bobby OkrekeOG Damien LewisDT TeRah Edwards
