For its Week 6 game against the Los Angeles Chargers, the Kansas City Chiefs released the following inactive players for Sunday’s matchup: WR Rashee Rice, TE Jared Wiley, QB Garrett Nussmeier, DB Jadon Canady, DE Jack Pyburn, DE Diego Pounds, and OT Josh Simmons.

The Chiefs also listed a separate set of inactives for the Chargers, with S Derwin James Jr., WR Tre’ Harris, CB Rodney Shelley, CB Donte Jackson, OLB Bud Dupree, G Kayode Awosika, and T Joe Alt among the players not expected to participate.

The inactive designations do not explain the reasons behind each player’s status, but they do clarify who will be unavailable for the Week 6 roster at kickoff.

Why It Matters

Inactive designations can force last-minute adjustments to both sides’ offensive and defensive packages.
With key skill-position and offensive line names included on the lists, each team’s game plan likely leans more heavily on the active roster’s next options.
The availability (or absence) of high-impact starters often influences how teams manage matchups across the first and second halves.
