The Kansas City Chiefs and Las Vegas Raiders will soon face off in the Week 13 game at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium. 

These two bitter rivals couldn't be having more opposite seasons. It makes the Raiders particularly dangerous in this game. This game is very much their Super Bowl and beating the Chiefs is all they have left to play for this season.

Kansas City's team is getting healthier (outside of kicker), while Las Vegas faces major personnel challenges at multiple positions. The cornerback and running back groups are severely depleted, plus they just lost QB Gardner Minshew for the remainder of the season.

Here's a quick look at the inactive players for each team. . .

Chiefs inactive players:

  • OL CJ Hanson
  • DT Marlon Tuipulotu
  • OT Ethan Driskell
  • RB Clyde Edwards-Helaire
  • K Spencer Shrader
  • OT D.J. Humphries
  • DE Malik Herring

Raiders inactive players:

  • CB Nate Hobbs
  • RB Zamir White
  • RB Alexander Mattison
  • DT Matthew Butler
  • G Cody Whitehair
  • WR Ramel Keytron
  • TE Harrison Bryant

Observations:

Both Charles Omenihu and Isiah Pacheco are both ACTIVE for Kansas City.

Practice squad TE Anthony Firkser will appear in his first game with the Chiefs. 

OT D.J. Humphries is inactive for Week 13, as expected. 

Chiefs RB Clyde Edwards-Helaire is a healthy scratch for the seventh consecutive week. With Isiah Pacheco back in the mix, it's hard to imagine a scenario where Edwards-Helaire suits up, outside of a Week 18 game where Kansas City rests its starters.

Three players on the Raiders' injury report, who weren't previously ruled out of the game (Mattison, Whitehair, and Bryant) were made inactive for Week 13.
