Raiders cornerback Sean Smith is inactive Sunday night due to a shoulder injury.

Smith was a limited practice participant last week and was listed as questionable. He has struggled at times this season, but the Raiders wanted to have a full complement of defensive backs against the Broncos’ talented receiving corps.

Smith has started all eight games and has two interceptions.

T.J. Carrie will start in place of Smith.
