Cornerback L’Jarius Sneed is officially IN for the Kansas City Chiefs today, shaking off that knee injury that had everyone wondering about his status. This is big, because Sneed was listed as questionable, but he dodged the inactive list and will be on the field against the Chargers.
Chiefs Get a Key Player Back While Others Sit
While Sneed is ready to roll, the Chiefs still have some players sidelined. Wide receiver Rashee Rice and offensive tackle Josh Simmons were both ruled out on Friday. Also on the inactive list are tight end Jared Wiley, quarterback Garrett Nussmeier, defensive back Jadon Canady, defensive end Jack Pyburn, and offensive tackle Diego Pounds. Still, getting Sneed back is a huge boost for that Chiefs defense.
Chargers Take a Massive Hit with Key Players Out
On the flip side, the Chargers are dealing with a brutal inactive list. Linebacker Bud Dupree will miss the game, sitting out with a neck injury after being listed as questionable. He’s the only one of their six questionable players from Friday who won’t be in the lineup today. Beyond Dupree, the Chargers are also without some serious talent, as safety Derwin James, wide receiver Tre’ Harris, cornerback Donte Jackson, guard Kayode Awosika, and right tackle Joe Alt were all ruled out on Friday. Cornerback Rodney Shelley is also inactive, battling a hamstring injury that had him doubtful. This is a tough break for the Bolts, missing multiple starters against a division rival.
This game is shaping up to be a test of depth for the Chargers, while the Chiefs seem to be getting healthier at a critical position. It’s going to be a battle, no doubt, especially with so many key guys out for Los Angeles.
