The Kansas City Chiefs have released their list of inactive players for Friday night’s game against the Los Angeles Chargers at Arena Corinthians in São Paulo, Brazil.
As expected, wide receiver Jalen Royals (knee) will not play in Week 1. Neither will defensive tackle Omarr Norman-Lott (ankle), running back Elijah Mitchell , defensive end Malik Herring, tight end Jared Wiley and offensive lineman Hunter Nourzad.
Royals did not make the trip to Brazil. He was declared out on Wednesday. Norman-Lott (ankle) was shown as limited in all of Kansas City’s injury reports this week — and was declared questionable on Thursday. The rest of the Chiefs’ inactive players are healthy scratches.

On Friday, Kansas City elevated practice squad defensive tackle Marlon Tuipulotu to the active roster. As an elevated player, he will automatically be returned to the team’s practice squad after the game. He is active for the contest.
The Chargers have also released their list of inactives. Guard Mekhti Becton (illness) will play. But offensive lineman Foster Sarell, defensive lineman Naquan Jones, tight end Tucker Fisk, linebacker Kyle Kennard, tight end Oronde Gadsden, defensive back R.J. Mickens and defensive back Nikko Reed are all inactive.
All Los Angeles players were listed as full participants in Thursday’s final injury report — although Becton was added to the injury report as questionable just hours before kickoff.
