Center Luke Wattenberg will play in the AFC Championship Game for the Denver Broncos after being activated from injured reserve on Saturday. He was not listed among the team’s inactive players ahead of Sunday’s game. Wattenberg started the first 15 games of the season and played every snap before missing the last four weeks.

Wide receiver Elijah Moore, who was elevated from the practice squad, is also active for the matchup. Although this will be his first appearance with the Broncos, Moore has accumulated 209 catches for 2,274 yards and nine touchdowns over his career.

Several players are inactive for Sunday’s contest. Wide receiver Troy Franklin (hamstring), center Alex Forsyth (ankle), and safety JL Skinner (quad) were all listed as questionable leading up to the game and will not participate.

Cornerback Reese Taylor and outside linebacker Que Robinson, both of whom were inactive during the AFC Divisional Round, are active for this championship game.

“See below for a complete look at the team’s inactives.”
