Broncos-Chiefs inactives: Dalton Risner officially scratched

DENVER — Thirteen games, eight different starting offensive-line combinations.

With left guard Dalton Risner inactive, the Broncos will have yet another O-line combination. Risner had been the only Broncos offensive lineman to play in all 12 games prior to this week.

Denver’s other inactives included:

• LB Dakota Allen
• FB/TE Andrew Beck
• DL Elijah Garcia
• CB Michael Ojemudia
• WR Courtland Sutton
• DL Enyi Uwazurike

Uwazurike landed on the injury report Saturday due to an illness. Denver ruled Allen, Beck and Sutton out Friday with hamstring injuries.

Ojemudia and Garcia are healthy scratches.

TE Albert Okwuegbunam will be active. He hasn’t played a snap since Week 5 against Indianapolis. However, Broncos coach Nathaniel Hackett indicated Wednesday that he could be part of the team’s plan to compensate for injuries at the wide-receiver position.
