The Kansas City Chiefs and New York Giants have released their inactive players lists for their Week 3 primetime matchup at MetLife Stadium.
Chiefs wide receiver Xavier Worthy, defensive end Mike Danna and cornerback Kristian Fulton have already been ruled out for the game, as has Giants linebacker Darius Muasau. Let’s take a look at each team’s full lists.

- TE Jared Wiley
Observations:
- 2025 second-round draft pick WR Jalen Royals will make his regular season debut against the Giants. He has been sidelined with knee tendinitis since Week 2 of the preseason.
