The Kansas City Chiefs aren't expected to release their list of inactive players for their preseason Week 1 matchup against the Los Angeles Rams. The preseason differs slightly from the regular season because players aren't formally made inactive. They also aren't expected to play, whether due to injury or otherwise.
The lists are subject to change, and not every player will be listed throughout the preseason.
Here are the players who aren't expected to play for the Chiefs:
- QB Patrick Mahomes
- OL Trey Smith
- DB Mansoor Delane
- DB L'Jarius Sneed
- DB Chamarri Conner
- LB Drue Tranquill
- DL Omarr Norman-Lott
Here are the Rams who aren't expected to play:
- QB Matthew Stafford
- WR Puka Nacua
- WR Davante Adams
- TE Davis Allen
- OL Alaric Jackson
- OL Justin Dedich
- DL Myles Garrett
During the regular 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 an hour and a half before kickoff. The designation can be due to injury, coaching decisions, or various alternative reasons.
