The Kansas City Chiefs revealed their final Week 12 inactive decisions ahead of a pivotal matchup with the Indianapolis Colts.
The Chiefs’ social media team relayed the moves on X, which listed the following players as “out” for Week 12.
Cornerback Joshua Williams.
Running back Isiah Pacheco.
Wide receiver Jalen Royals.
Tight end Jared Wiley.
Running back Elijah Mitchell.
Offensive tackle Wanya Morris.
While none of these inactive choices are that surprising, it’s the names not on the list that stand out. As expected, wide receiver Xavier Worthy is officially good to go against the Colts.
Similarly, left guard Kingsley Suamataia has been cleared for the Week 12 battle, and he’s expected to suit up and start in this game. Both Worthy and Suamataia were originally designated as “questionable” with injuries after Pacheco was ruled out on Friday.
Chiefs Will Have Xavier Worthy & Full Complement of WRs in Week 12 vs. Colts

Worthy is ready to go for the Chiefs in Week 12 versus the Colts. And that means head coach Andy Reid and quarterback Patrick Mahomes will have their full complement of wide receivers once again.
Reid was criticized for his usage of playmakers like Worthy and Rashee Rice in Week 11, so we’ll see if Kansas City can get its offense back on track with everyone healthy at wide receiver.
Of course, the backfield is not as “full strength” as the WR corps. Pacheco will not suit up again on November 23, and that means Kareem Hunt will get another start against Indianapolis.
The Chiefs also chose to roll with rookie Brashard Smith and practice squad veteran Clyde Edwards-Helaire behind Hunt, rather than Mitchell.
