Wattenberg’s return is significant, as he started the first 15 games and played every snap for the team this season. Alongside him, wide receiver Elijah Moore has also been elevated from the practice squad. Although he has not played for the Broncos this season, Moore brings valuable experience with 209 career receptions, totaling 2,274 yards and nine touchdowns.
Inactive Players
Despite some hopeful returns, several key players will not be participating in the championship game:
- Troy Franklin (Wide Receiver) – Hamstring injury
- Alex Forsyth (Center) – Ankle injury
