Kansas City and Philadelphia have released their inactive player lists for Super Bowl LIX.
The Kansas City Chiefs have released their list of inactive players for Sunday’s Super Bowl LIX matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles.
While the entire 53-man roster is healthy for this matchup, tackle Wanya Morris, cornerback Keith Taylor, defensive end Malik Herring, defensive end Joshua Uche, tackle Ethan Driskell and guard C.J. Hanson will not dress for the game.
Since none of these players were listed on Friday’s final injury report, they should all be considered healthy scratches.
On Saturday, Kansas City elevated two practice squad players to the active roster: linebacker Swayze Bozeman and cornerback Steven Nelson. As elevated players, they will automatically be returned to the team’s practice squad after the game, with their contracts expiring soon after. But only Bozeman is active for the matchup. Nelson — the Chiefs’ third round selection in the 2015 NFL Draft who returned to Kansas City late in the season — will not play.
Wide receiver Skyy Moore — on injured reserve after abdominal surgery since October — was listed as doubtful for the game, and the Chiefs predictably did not activate him in Saturday’s transactions, leaving him ineligible for Sunday.
The Eagles have also released their list of inactives. As expected, defensive end Brandon Graham — the lone remaining Eagle to have played for Chiefs head coach Andy Reid during his Philadelphia tenure — will play after being activated from injured reserve on Saturday.
Graham was listed as questionable (elbow) on the final injury report. Reserve offensive lineman Nick Gates was also listed as questionable with a groin injury, but he was placed on injured reserve to create a roster spot for Graham.
Philadelphia has elevated fullback Khari Blasingame and linebacker Nicholas Morrow for the matchup. Both will dress for the game. Guard Darian Kinnard — a member of the Chiefs’ famed 2022 draft class now with the Eagles — will not play.
