The Kansas City Chiefs have released their list of inactive players for Sunday’s game against the Las Vegas Raiders
.The Chiefs will play without tackles Josh Simmons and Diego Pounds, defensive end Jack Pyburn, tight end Jared Wiley, and cornerback Jadon Canady. Garrett Nussmeier has the third quarterback designation, enabling him to enter the game should both starter Patrick Mahomes and backup Justin Fields be unavailable.
As expected, safety Chamarri Conner is active for the first time this season after missing the first three games with a knee injury. With all rostered defensive backs now available, Canady is made a healthy scratch. Simmons (back) had alread been ruled out on Friday’s final injury report.
On Saturday, Kansas City elevated practice squad linebacker Cole Christiansen to the active roster. As an elevated player, he will automatically be returned to the team’s practice squad after the game. Christiansen is active for the contest.
The Raiders have also released their list of inactives.
Cornerback Darrell Luter Jr, safety Tristin McCollum, guard Jackson Powers-Johnson and defensive tackle Jonah Laulu will not play. Aidan O’Connell has emergency quarterback duties for Las Vegas.
Powers-Johnson (groin) had already been declared out for Sunday. O’Connell missed practice all week due to a personal matter and had been deemed questionable to play. Star tight end Brock Bowers was a late addition to the injury report on Sunday morning with an illness, but he is active.
The Raiders made no practice squad elevations for the game.
