Jaguars vs. Chiefs inactives: Brandon Scherff active in Week 2
The Jacksonville Jaguars will have starting offensive linemen Brandon Scherff and Luke Fortner in the lineup Sunday against the Kansas City Chiefs.
On Friday, Jaguars coach Doug Pederson said both linemen were in line to play in Week 2, but they were both still listed as questionable. Their status was made official 90 minutes before kickoff when Jacksonville released its small list of four inactives:
The following players will be inactive for the Jaguars in today’s game:
11 WR Parker Washington
14 WR Elijah Cooks
22 RB JaMycal Hasty
26 S Antonio Johnson— JaguarsPR (@JaguarsPR) September 17, 2023
Fifth-round rookie Antonio Johnson is the only Jaguars player missing due to an injury, as he’s been nursing a hamstring problem since August. On Saturday, the Jaguars placed cornerback Gregory Junior on the injured reserve with a hamstring injury of his own.
For the Chiefs, all the stars will be back in action. After Travis Kelce and Chris Jones missed Week 1, both are in the lineup Sunday:
Here are our inactives for #KCvsJAX:
RB La'Mical Perine
CB Nic Jones
DE BJ Thompson
OL Wanya Morris
T Lucas Niang
DT Neil Farrell
DT Keondre Coburn— Kansas City Chiefs (@Chiefs) September 17, 2023
Chiefs running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire was listed as questionable, but is available. Kansas City will also lean on Isiah Pacheco and Jerick McKinnon at running back.
