The Kansas City Chiefs and Las Vegas Raiders have released their inactive players lists ahead of their Week 8 AFC West showdown at Allegiant Stadium on Sunday afternoon. 

Each team has its own injury challenges heading into this matchup, with three players ruled out between the two teams. Kansas City is working with a severely depleted WR corps, while Las Vegas has several players returning from injury after sitting out of Week 7.

Check out the full list of inactive players for each team down below:

Chiefs inactive players:

  • OT Ethan Driskell
  • OL CJ Hanson
  • DE Mike Danna
  • DT Marlon Tuipulotu
  • RB Clyde Edwards-Helaire
  • WR JuJu Smith-Schuster

Raiders inactive players:

  • CB Sam Webb
  • RB Dylan Laube
  • WR Tyreik McAllister 
  • LB Kana’i Mauga 
  • OG Dylan Parham 
  • TE Harrison Bryant 
  • DT Zach Carter

Observations:

WR DeAndre Hopkins is active for his first-ever game with Kansas City. CB Keith Taylor is also active after being signed to the 53-man roster following Jaylen Watson's injury.

For the first time this season, the Chiefs have more than five inactive players. They have a full 53-man roster, but the team also elevated WR Montrell Washington from the practice squad. That leaves them with the need for six inactive players. 

Chiefs RB Clyde Edwards-Helaire is a healthy scratch for the second consecutive week.

Two of the Raiders' players listed as questionable (Bryant & Mauga) have been ruled out for Week 8
