Devaughn Vele, the Denver Broncos wide receiver, is inactive for the game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. After missing Week 2 due to a rib injury, he was expected to play but was ultimately left off the final injury report. In his absence, Lil'Jordan Humphrey is expected to take on slot duties as the Broncos' passing game continues to struggle.

Courtland Sutton, wide receiver for the Denver Broncos, missed another practice due to a concussion. If he is unable to gain clearance to play, other wide receivers such as Jerry Jeudy, Marvin Mims, Brandon Johnson, and Lil'Jordan Humphrey would be the top targets for quarterback Jarrett Stidham in Week 17.
