Eyioma Uwazurike

Badie has not played since Week 4 when he suffered a severe back injury against the Jets, but the third-year back was on the verge of looking like Denver's RB1 before his injury. Now healthy and ready to go, it wouldn't come as a surprise if Badie saw a significant role in his return to action given the Broncos' backfield struggles this season. Rookie running back Audric Estime, along with Zach Wilson, running back Blake Watson, linebacker Levelle Bailey, guard Nick Gargiulo, and defensive lineman Eyioma Uwazurike were all declared inactive for Sunday's game.

Watson has played sparingly this season so his deactivation in a must-win game is unsurprising. The Broncos have a shot to secure a playoff spot against a Chiefs team that will rest all of its core players. The Broncos also declared LB Levelle Bailey, OT Frank Crum, DL Matt Henningsen, DL Eyioma Uwazurike and QB Zach Wilson (emergency third QB) inactive.
