Here are the inactives for the Denver Broncos and the New England Patriots for this afternoons game at Gillette Stadium in Foxboro Massachusetts.

Denver Broncos:

Thoughts: The Broncos will be out tight end Virgil Green, safety Quinton Carter and linebacker Steven Johnson. The absence of Green could be a big loss for the Broncos run defense. The weather is looking awful in Foxboro, and Green is the Broncos best run blocking tight end. Carter will also be missed as the Broncos will try to cover Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski.

Cornerback Omar Bolden is active after missing last Thursday game with a concussion, also rookie receiver Cody Latimer and reserve defensive tackle Mitch Unrein will be active.

New England Patriots:
