The Denver Broncos will be without several rookies for their game against the Houston Texans.

This game is a huge one. Both teams are 6-5 on the year and one game out of a wild-card spot. The three teams above the Texans and Broncos are the Pittsburgh Steelers (7-4), the Cleveland Browns (7-4), whom the Broncos just beat, and the Indianapolis Colts (6-5).

If the Broncos lose, it will be hard for them to make up some ground for that playoff spot, especially if the Steelers, Browns, and Colts win, too. They would have to find a way to make up that ground with just four games left after a potential loss to the Texans.

So, it's safe to say this is somewhat of a must-win game. When the inactive came out, it was evident the Broncos would be playing without three rookies.

Here are the total inactives for Week 13 vs. the Texans:

Ben DiNucci
JL Skinner
Nate Adkins
Ronnie Perkins
Thomas Incoom
Alex Forsyth
Elijah Garcia

With Ben DiNucci inactive, this also means there is nothing to look into concerning Russell Wilson and Jarret Stidham's health and availability.
