Chiefs-Broncos Inactives: Garrett Nussmeier named emergency quarterback
Kansas City and Denver have released their inactive player lists for Monday’s game.
Kansas City Chiefs have announced their inactive players for their season opener against the Denver Broncos in Monday Night Football. Notably, Garrett Nussmeier has been named the emergency quarterback, only eligible to take the field if starters Patrick Mahomes and Justin Fields are unable to play due to injuries. The Chiefs have already decided to bench Chamarri Conner (knee), Josh Simmons (back), Diego Pounds, Bryson Eason, Jared Wiley, and Jack Pyburn.
Rookie Garrett Nussmeier will start if necessary, marking the first time the Chiefs have named an emergency quarterback since the rule was introduced in 2023.
