In the countdown to kickoff, anticipation is high as the first game of the regular season inches closer. The Baltimore Ravens and Kansas City Chiefs have finalized their list of inactives, with no surprises emerging just 90 minutes before the game.
For the Ravens, it appears that youth is a theme among their inactive players, as five out of the seven listed are rookies. This lineup includes safety Beau Brade, cornerback T.J. Tampa, outside linebacker Adisa Isaac (dealing with a hamstring issue), center Nick Samac, offensive lineman Sala Aumavae-Laulu, wide receiver Devontez Walker, and defensive end Brent Urban. Additionally, running back Rasheen Ali, who was doubtful due to a neck injury, was placed on injured reserve earlier in the day.
On the other side of the field, the Chiefs had previously ruled out receiver Hollywood Brown due to a shoulder injury. Joining him on the inactive list are offensive lineman C.J. Hanson, offensive tackle Ethan Driskell, tight end Peyton Hendershot, and defensive tackle Marlon Tuipulotu.
With both teams facing key absences, it will be interesting to see how they adjust their game plans accordingly. Fans can expect a battle on the field as these teams look to kick off the season on a high note. As the clock ticks down to kickoff, the stage is set for an exciting matchup between the Ravens and Chiefs.
