The Kansas City Chiefs have released their list of inactive players for Monday night’s game against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Cornerback Kristian Fulton (ankle) and defensive tackle Omarr Norman-Lott (shoulder) will not play. Neither will tight end Jared Wiley, running back Elijah Mitchell, defensive end Malik Herring or offensive lineman Hunter Nourzad.
But wide receiver Xavier Worthy (shoulder/ankle) will be active. So will wide receiver Jason Brownlee, who was inactive in Week 4.
Fulton and Norman-Lott were both declared questionable in Saturday’s final injury report, while Worthy was only given that designation after the team arrived in Florida on Sunday. At that time, reports indicated that Worthy had deplaned with a swollen ankle — and that the team expected him to play. Those reports appear to have been correct.
On Monday, Kansas City elevated practice squad defensive tackle Marlon Tuipulotu to the active roster. As an elevated player, he will automatically be returned to the team’s practice squad after the game. He is active for “Monday Night Football.”
The Jaguars have also released their list of inactives.
As we expected, linebacker Yasir Abdullah (hamstring) will not be playing. Neither will defensive end Travon Walker (wrist) — one of the team’s top defenders — offensive lineman Wyatt Milum (knee), defensive lineman Danny Striggow or defensive tackle Khalen Saunders.
Abudullah was listed as out on Saturday. Both Milum and Walker were described as questionable.
Earlier on Monday, the Jaguars activated tight end Quintin Morris from the practice squad to the active roster, making room for him by waiving former Missouri running back Cody Schrader, who has typically been inactive on gamedays. Morris, however, will dress for the matchup.
