Chiefs vs. Chargers: Mitch Morse, Jehu Chesson among inactives

KANSAS CITY, MO - AUGUST 31: Wide receiver Jehu Chesson
KANSAS CITY, MO - AUGUST 31: Wide receiver Jehu Chesson

The list of inactives is out and there are no surprises for the Kansas City Chiefs as they prepare to visit the Los Angeles Chargers for the first time.

The Kansas City Chiefs are about as healthy as they could be at this point given the various injuries that were already known. That’s good news as it’s hard to stomach an unexpected inactive player heading into another game. Fortunately for the Chiefs they are prepared and ready to play the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 3.

For the Chiefs, Mitch Morse is sitting on the bench this week as he continues to nurse a foot sprain suffered against the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 2. Morse’s absence will undoubtedly hurt the line to some degree, but the Chiefs were well-stocked with a nice reserve in Zach Fulton who can step in and keep the offense moving.

The Chiefs will also be without a pair of promising rookies in linebacker Ukeme Eligwe and wide receiver Jehu Chesson. Both players showed bursts of potential in the preseason and should be solid special teams performers down the road, maybe even into the second half of this season. For now, the Chiefs are loaded enough to be able to sit those players as inactives until they’re needed.

For the Chargers, they will be without Joe Barksdale, their starting right tackle, which could make pass rushing much easier for Justin Houston on the outside. Barksdale missed practice on Friday and was questionable coming into the game. Chris Hairston takes his place on the outside.

Here’s a complete list of all inactive players for the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 3:

  • OL Mitch Morse

  • QB Tyler Bray
