Here are the inactive players for the Arizona Cardinals hosting the Kansas City Chiefs in the first game of the season for both.

As the Kansas City Chiefs prepare to take the field against the Arizona Cardinals at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, both teams are busy trying to figure out exactly which players will see the field and which injuries they need to officially rest in order to allow for better results down the road. In short, it’s time to reveal inactive players.

For the Chiefs, it’s been a rather healthy end of the preseason overall. The team has dealt with a few injuries during training camp and the preseason, but many of those injuries have healed and they’re now looking at a few players on injured reserve but none of whom are a pillar for the team on either side of the ball. That’s not to say that they don’t miss the likes of offensive tackle Lucas Niang or tight end Blake Bell, but the Cardinals would love to be in such a position.

For the Cardinals, the team is already without DeAndre Hopkins due to a six-game suspension to start the season. Then they’ve been dealing with a significant number of injuries to key names on offense and defense. Even this week, practice has only exacerbated the situation, such as with wide receiver Rondale Moore, who was a first-round choice a year ago.

Here are the Cardinals inactives:

  • WR Rondale Moore
  • DB Trayvon Mullen
  • RB Keontay Ingram
  • OL Justin Pugh
  • LB Myjai Sanders
  • TE Trey McBridoe
  • DE J.J. Watt

And here are the inactives for the Chiefs:

  • QB Shane Buechele
  • RB Ronald Jones
  • WR Daurice Fountain
  • OT Darian Kinnard
  • DE Malik Herring
  • DE Joshua Kaindoh
