The Kansas City Chiefs and Atlanta Falcons are set to square off at Mercedes-Benz Stadium on "Sunday Night Football" for Week 3 of the 2024 NFL season.

The Chiefs will be without RB Isiah Pacheco and WR Hollywood Brown, with both players currently on injured reserve. Their opponents, however, are about as healthy as they could be ahead of a matchup with the back-to-back Super Bowl champions.

Here's a quick breakdown of the inactive players for each team during tonight's game:

Chiefs inactive players:

• OT Ethan Driskell
• OL CJ Hanson
• DE Cameron Thomas
• DT Marlon Tuipulotu

---

Falcons inactive players:

• RB Jase McClellan
• DL Brandon Dorlus
• G Jovaughn Gwyn
• OT Brandon Parker
• DL Ruke Orhorhoro

---

Observations:

The Chiefs only have four inactive players because they have 52 on the roster for the second consecutive week. They did not elevate any players from the practice squad again this week. 

This is essentially the same group of inactive players the Chiefs have trotted out most of the season. 

RB Keaontay Ingram and LB Cole Christiansen, signed to the 53-man roster from the practice squad on Wednesday, are ACTIVE for the Chiefs.

Chiefs DC Steve Spagnuolo said Marlon Tuipulotu and Cam Thomas were getting closer to being ready on Thursday. Not quite there yet, it seems.

No players of consequence are inactive for the Falcons. They're as healthy as they could possibly be for Sunday night. 

One Chiefs rookie heads to the bench, but two others could see more opportunities in Week 3 vs. Falcons

Updates on rookies Kingsley Suamataia, Jaden Hicks, and Carson Steele ahead of the Chiefs’ Week 3 game vs. the Falcons.
