Chiefs have a relatively healthy game-day roster vs. Eagles for today’s Super Bowl LVII
The Chiefs have a relatively healthy roster for Sunday’s showdown against the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LVII.
Cornerback L’Jarius Sneed (knee) is active for the game and should assume a normal workload.
Sneed appeared on Thursday’s injury report as a limited participant in practice, which prompted some concern about his availability. But he practiced fully Friday and the Chiefs didn’t assign a game designation to Sneed on their final injury report.
With Sneed in the lineup, the Chiefs’ cornerback group is at full strength against Eagles wide receivers A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith.
The Chiefs will also have wide receiver Kadarius Toney (hamstring, ankle) in the lineup. Toney began the Super Bowl week of practices as a limited participant before putting in two full practices on Thursday and Friday.
Toney, who projects to be the Chiefs’ primary punt returner, is available for action alongside wide receivers JuJu Smith-Schuster, Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Justin Watson and rookie Skyy Moore.
The Chiefs on Saturday elevated wide receiver Marcus Kemp and center Austin Reiter from the practice squad to their 53-player roster. Reiter, though, is not dressed for the game.
Kansas City’s remaining inactives are running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire, quarterback Shane Buechele, rookie offensive lineman Darian Kinnard, defensive lineman Malik Herring, defensive end Joshua Kaindoh and tight end Blake Bell.
With Edwards-Helaire not playing, the Chiefs will roll with rookie Isiah Pacheco, Jerick McKinnon and Ronald Jones in their backfield. The Chiefs activated Edwards-Helaire last weekend from injured reserve.
For the Eagles, quarterback Ian Book, cornerback Josiah Scott, running back Trey Sermon, punter Brett Kern, safety Anthony Harris, linebacker Kyron Johnson and wide receiver Greg Ward will not play against the Chiefs.
