The Kansas City Chiefs and Denver Broncos released their inactive lists ahead of Sunday's Week 8 matchup at Empower Field at Mile High.
Here are the inactive players for the Chiefs:
- DL Jack Pyburn
- DL Tyreke Smith
- DB Mansoor Delane
- OL Diego Pounds
- FB Ben VanSumeren
- QB Garrett Nussmeier (Emergency Quarterback)
Here are the inactive players for the Broncos:
- DB Talana Hufanga
- OL Gavin Ortega
- DL Jordan Jackson
- DL Tyler Oneydim
- OL Kage Casey
- TE Dallen Bentley
- QB Sam Ehlinger (Emergency Quarterback)
During the season, inactives are players ruled out of a game and will not participate, even though they are on the active roster. The Chiefs and their opponent must announce the listed inactive players 90 minutes before kickoff. The designation can be due to injury, coaching decisions, or various other reasons.
To prevent teams from running out of quarterbacks, they can dress an 'Emergency Third Quarterback'. The player is technically listed as inactive on the sheet but may enter the game only if both the starter and primary
backup are knocked out by injury or disqualification.
