The New England Patriots have named the following players as inactive for Sunday Night Football against the Denver Broncos:
Wide Receiver Danny Amendola
Cornerback Justin Coleman
Linebacker Jamie Collins
Wide Receiver Julian Edelman
Defensive End Trey Flowers
Safety Jordan Richards
Tight End Michael Williams
Amendola, Coleman, Collins, Edelman, and Williams were all known. Flowers has been active for just one game this season (Jets). Richards comes as a surprise as it appears veteran Tavon Wilson has jumped him in the depth chart, even though the rookie had been playing well this season.
This marks the return of offensive lineman Tre Jackson to the roster and the Patriots now have as healthy of an offensive line as they'll have for the rest of the season.
The Broncos have made the following players inactive:
Center Sam Brenner
Cornerback Lorenzo Doss
Tight End Richard Gordon
Quarterback Peyton Manning
Wide Receiver Jordan Norwood
Quarterback Christian Ponder
Defensive End DeMarcus Ware
