The Kansas City Chiefs and Los Angeles Chargers released their inactive lists before their Week 6 matchup at Arrowhead Stadium on Sunday.
Here are the inactive players for the Chiefs:
- TE Jared Wiley
- WR Rashee Rice
- OL Josh Simmons
- LB Jack Pyburn
- DB Jadon Canady
- OL Diego Pounds
- QB Garrett Nussmeier (Emergency Quarterback)
Here are the inactive players for the Chargers:
- OL Joe Alt
- OL Kayode Awosika
- DB Donte Jackson
- DB Derwin James
- WR Tre’ Harris
- DB Rodney Shelley
- LB Bud Dupree
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.
