Dulich is a healthy scratch vs. the Raiders — the tight end everyone expected to be a stud if he could just avoid the injury bug. Dulcich is not nursing an injury. This is a tactical decision by Broncos head coach Sean Payton. Dulcich will be a spectator just days after Payton assured fans that he and his staff were working through "different personnel groupings" to figure out how to get Dulcich going. “That's a great question and we're working through different personnel groupings," <a href="https://www.si.com/nfl/broncos/news/sean-payton-addresses-failure-greg-dulcich-involved-offense-01j97xc2n84y" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"> Payton said on Wednesday </a><a href="https://www.si.com/nfl/team/las-vegas-raiders" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"></a> . "We have to keep finding creative ways where—not even just on third down, but first and second down. Obviously, last week was a little bit more challenging, but it's still a work in progress.” <a href="https://sibforms.com/serve/MUIEACu35tDCvWTU8nrZq3tu-omjLixgehvQuqnYGbQ5JZ8iO1opdYklsdU2qJSc8MsKh-kFeniiedKufe5dsVn4SVS3PQ9kiWBxRrGpeqLnT2jnUHWsKpAnbwxykIv8W6xdyqeJAtpssR8Kq5TptID_USaXtVUx2WmFzTPI1xF92kwWDCs3wqBJpwb4E2CKvf4lLtMun7UipsWP" rel="nofollow"> What happens next on the Broncos beat?

You can get away with a one-dimensional, pass-catching tight end if your quarterback is Drew Brees or Peyton Manning. But rookie Bo Nix needs a productive running game to thrive, and Dulcich is no help there. So other than third-down opportunities, or obvious passing situations, the third-year tight end has become useless. Not good. The Broncos will roll with Adam Trautman, Nate Adkins, and Lucas Krull. Expect a heavy dose of the run on Sunday. Meanwhile, Wilson will dress (even though technically inactive) since he'll be the emergency No. 3 QB. For posterity, here's the Raiders' inactives for Week 5. <ul><li> Zamir White | RB </li></ul><ul><li> Divine Deablo | LB </li></ul><ul><li> Davante Adams | WR </li></ul><nbtemplate data-id="AdPlaceholder" data-content="JTdCJTdE"></nbtemplate><ul><li> Decamerion Richardson | CB </li></ul><ul><li> Tyreik McAllister | WR </li></ul><ul><li> Thayer Munford | OT </li></ul><ul><li> Michael Mayer | TE </li></ul><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"> Inactives for <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/LVvsDEN?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" rel="nofollow"> #LVvsDEN </a><a href="https://t.co/jyJbdp5xvg" rel="nofollow"> pic.twitter.com/jyJbdp5xvg </a> — Las Vegas Raiders (@Raiders) <a href="https://twitter.com/Raiders/status/1842997023257325700?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" rel="nofollow"> October 6, 2024 </a></blockquote><script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js"></script> No Adams or White, but the Raiders will have Pro Bowl defensive end Maxx Crosby, whose status we've closely monitored all week. We'll see if the Raiders have Crosby on a snap count, or if he's a full go.
