Broncos declared DT D.J. Jones, TE Nate Adkins, OLB Que Robinson, CB Reese Taylor, DL Jordan Jackson and OT Geron Christian inactive for Week 14 against the Raiders.
Jones’ absence is due to an ankle injury, leaving the Broncos’ defense without its starting nose tackle. Fortunately, DL Zach Allen (calf) is active, as is WR Pat Bryant (hamstring). Allen has tallied 48 quarterback pressures and eight sacks so far this season. He has strong odds of increasing both sums against Raiders QB Geno Smith (foot), who enters Week 14 with the second-highest sack sum (46) this year.
