Chiefs vs. Jaguars inactives: Neil Farrell sits for KC in Week 2

As the Kansas City Chiefs take the field at EverBank Stadium on Sunday afternoon in Jacksonville, all eyes are going to be on two players in particular: tight end Travis Kelce and defensive tackle Chris Jones.

Just last week, Kelce was inactive as a player sidelined with a short-term injury. The team's star tight end was forced to stand and watch the Chiefs drop their home opener to the Detroit Lions by a single point as he nursed a knee injury that only flared up a couple days prior to gametime after hyperextending it in practice. While Kelce is still dealing with the ramifications, he's expected to suit up and play on Sunday for the Chiefs even in limited doses.

As for Jones, he wasn't inactive because he wasn't even on the roster a week ago. Instead he was sitting up in the stands at Arrowhead flanked by his two agents while continuing to hold out from the team due to contractual frustrations over the failure to reach a new long-term agreement. The good news is that Jones returned this week to the team and will also play.

Let's look at the list of inactive players for Week 2 between the visiting Chiefs and host Jaguars.

As for the players who are not taking the field today for the Chiefs and Jaguars, the Chiefs will be glad to have their stars mostly back.

In further good news for the Chiefs, running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire is expected to play after missing practice due to an illness. The Chiefs had elevated running back La'Mical Perine from the practice squad on Saturday to prepare for potential changes in the backfield, but Perine was listed as one of the team's inactive players on the day. Speaking of the list, we've got you covered.
