Chiefs lose two corners as Week 8 lineup decisions move to Sunday

There is no NFL game tonight, but Saturday still moved the board for Sunday's Week 8 slate. The Chiefs ruled out cornerback Mansoor Delane with a shoulder injury and placed cornerback L'Jarius Sneed on injured reserve ahead of their 4:25 p.m. ET game in Denver, moves the club made Saturday afternoon and NFL insiders confirmed on X.

What is confirmed

Kansas City plays without two starting-caliber corners against a Denver offense that has already lost running back RJ Harvey, who went on short-term IR Saturday and will miss at least four games. Denver listed Jaylen Waddle as questionable Friday, so his status is the one to track in that game.

New England downgraded A.J. Brown and TreVeyon Henderson to out for the 4:25 p.m. game at Miami. The Raiders activated rookie Jack Bech from IR for their 1 p.m. game against the Jets.

The Eagles elevated running back Elijah Mitchell for Sunday night at Washington on NBC. Philadelphia already ruled out DeVonta Smith, and Saquon Barkley is cleared to play.

What is still open

George Pickens, DJ Moore, Dalton Kincaid and Breece Hall all carried questionable tags out of Friday, and none of their teams changed that on Saturday. All four play at 1 p.m. ET, so inactive lists arrive around 11:30 a.m. ET.

Denver is reportedly among the teams that have checked in on a Jonathan Taylor trade, per a Denver reporter cited by Underdog NFL. Nothing is agreed, but the Harvey injury gives that report a clear motive.

What RSO owners should do now

Clocks fall back an hour overnight, so set alarms on Eastern Standard Time. Lock in early-game starters you trust tonight and keep a 4:05 p.m., 4:25 p.m. or Sunday night option on your bench for any 1 p.m. questionable player.

If you start Denver pass catchers, the Kansas City secondary just got thinner, which is a reason to lean in rather than bench. Harvey owners should check whether a bench spot can be freed for a Broncos runner rather than cutting a player on a four-game absence.

What to watch next

Sunday morning inactives, any final Broncos roster move tied to the Taylor talks, and Seattle's backfield on Monday night with Zach Charbonnet set for his season debut.
