KANSAS CITY, Mo. (KCTV) – Chiefs rookie wide receiver Jalen Royals will make his official NFL debut on Sunday night in prime time against the New York Giants.
The fourth-round draft pick missed the first two games of the season with a knee injury, but was not listed among the inactives ahead of Sunday night’s matchup.
The full list of inactive Chiefs are:
(WR) Xavier Worthy
(CB) Kristian Fulton
(TE) Jared Wiley
(RB) Elijah Mitchell
(DE) Mike Danna
(OL) Hunter Nourzad
The Chiefs are 0-2 to start the season for the first time since 2014. They’re hoping to avoid an 0-3 start for the first time since 2011.
Royals’ return would give a boost to a depleted wide receiver room, with Rashee Rice suspended for the first six games of the season and Xavier Worthy ruled out once again with a shoulder injury suffered in week one.
