KC Chiefs vs. Broncos: Inactive player lists for Week 18
By Matt Conner
The inactive lists for the Denver Broncos and Kansas City Chiefs are fairly good representations of the state of each franchise as they head into their meeting in Week 18.
For the hosts, the Broncos are looking at numerous players who have either already been labeled as out of the last game of the season or else they are questionable to play at all after missing practice time this week with various injuries or illnesses. The secondary in particular could be suspect heading into this game with Pat Surtain II, Kareem Jackson, and Ronald Darby all missing this game.
For the visiting Chiefs, there are some issues on the injury front but overall the team is healthy and ready to enter the postseason with hopes of making it to a third consecutive Super Bowl. Clyde Edwards-Helaire has already been designated as out heading into the game, and the Chiefs placed Lucas Niang on injured reserve on Friday. It will be interesting to see who suits up at right tackle and even in a swing tackle role since Kyle Long and Prince Tega Wanogho are generally scratched on game day.
Here are lists of inactive players for Chiefs vs. Broncos in Week 18.
We will officially update the lists below as more official data is released. For now, we know the following.
