PITTSBURGH — Broncos receiver Courtland Sutton, listed as questionable Friday with a shoulder injury, is active for today’s game against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Sutton sustained a sprained AC joint in practice Sept. 10 and has yet to go through a full workout. He was inactive for last week’s loss to Tennessee.
Sutton’s return means rookie receiver Tyrie Cleveland is inactive.
Receiver KJ Hamler (hamstring) will make his NFL debut after missing Week 1.
The injured scratches are running back Phillip Lindsay (turf toe) and inside linebacker Mark Barron (hamstring). Lindsay was injured against Tennessee and Barron was shut down after the final training camp practices.
In addition to Cleveland, the Broncos’ healthy scratches are guard/center Netane Muti, tight end Albert Okwuegbunam, defensive lineman McTelvin Agim and new outside linebacker Anthony Chickillo.
Chickillo was officially signed off the New Orleans Saints’ practice squad Friday.
Called up from the practice squad and active are running back LeVante Bellamy and outside linebacker Derrek Tuszka.
