Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton is inactive for his team's season opener against the Tennessee Titans on Monday night.

Sutton was listed as questionable ahead of Week 1 after suffering a shoulder injury at practice Thursday.

Second-round rookie wide receiver KJ Hamler, who was considered questionable prior to the game, is also among the Broncos' inactives.

Sutton led the Broncos with 72 catches for 1,112 receiving yards and six touchdowns through 16 games in 2019.

Denver is now expected to rely mainly on wide receivers Tim Patrick, DaeSean Hamilton, and first-round rookie Jerry Jeudy, as well as 2019 first-round tight end Noah Fant.

The Broncos drafted Jeudy 15th overall last April.
