Broncos-Chargers inactives: Franklin-Myers out; Bolts scratch seven starters

DENVER — The Broncos will not have John Franklin-Myers for Sunday’s season finale.

The starting defensive end saw limited work in practice this week with a hip issue and went into the weekend listed as questionable. He was the only player on the Broncos roster with a questionable designation.

With Franklin-Myers out, both Jordan Jackson and Sai’vion Jones are active for the Broncos. Jackson hasn’t played since Week 5; Jones has just two games to his name this season.

They will face a Los Angeles Chargers side that scratched seven starters from its lineup for Sunday’s game against the Broncos, as expected.

Having already announced last Monday that 2021 first-round pick Trey Lance would start at quarterback in place of Justin Herbert, the Chargers’ inactives include:

• C Bradley Bozeman
• RB Omarion Hampton
• QB Justin Herbert
• S Derwin James Jr.
• DB Elijah Molden
• OL Jamaree Salyer
• Edge rusher Tuli Tuipulotu

They could rest more starters, as well.

The Broncos’ full list of inactives for Thursday night is as follows:

• OT Geron Christian
• ILB Dre Greenlaw
• DE John Franklin-Myers
• TE Marcedes Lewis
• Edge rusher Que Robinson
• CB Reese Taylor
