The Kansas City Chiefs and Baltimore Ravens have released their inactive players lists for their Week 4 matchup at Arrowhead Stadium.

The Chiefs had question marks regarding a few defensive players entering this game, and the Ravens have already ruled out three starters in fullback Patrick Ricard as well as defensive tackles Nnamdi Madubuike and Broderick Washington. Let’s take a look at each team’s full lists.

Chiefs inactive players

  • DE Mike Danna
  • CB Kristian Fulton
  • OL Hunter Nourzad
  • RB Elijah Mitchell
  • TE Jared Wiley
  • WR Jason Brownlee
  • DT Brodric Martin

Observations:

  • Danna being inactive comes to no surprise after carrying a the “doubtful” designation into this game. He was able to practice in some form each day this past week, so hopefully he’s close to returning. That likely means more snaps for rookie DE Ashton Gillotte, who is active after missing Friday’s practice with an illness.
  • Fulton participated in every practice, but in limited fashion. Watch for rookie Nohl Williams to once again step up in his place.
  • Worthy is officially making his return since sustaining a separated shoulder on the third play from scrimmage in Week 1 against the Los Angeles Chargers. It’s possible that he’s on a bit of a pitch count, but his presence alone should give the Chiefs’ offense a boost.

Ravens inactive players

  • FB Patrick Ricard
  • S Reuben Lowery III
  • RB Keaton Mitchell
  • OLB Kyle Van Noy
  • NT Travis Jones
  • CB Jaire Alexander
  • OT Carson Vinson

Observations:

  • The Ravens have already declared both of their starting defensive tackles, Nnamdi Madubuike and Broderick Washington, out against the Chiefs. For a defense that is already struggling to stop the run, that is a major blow.
  • Baltimore will also be without Van Noy, who is one of the most complete middle linebackers in the league. His loss will be felt against the run and pass.
  • On a positive note, starting left tackle Ronnie Stanley will play after missing two out of the Ravens’ three practices this past week.
  • Likely is active and will make his 2025 debut after missing the first three games with a foot injury, giving quarterback Lamar Jackson another weapon. Likely will have revenge on his mind after being called out of bounds by just a toe on a would-be touchdown catch with the game on the line last season.
