Mecole Hardman headlines Chiefs’ list of inactive players vs. Raiders in Las Vegas

The Chiefs are missing a pair of wide receivers for today’s Week 18 NFL game — the team’s regular-season finale.

Mecole Hardman (pelvis) and rookie Skyy Moore (hand) are among the Chiefs’ seven inactive players for Saturday’s game against the Las Vegas Raiders at Allegiant Stadium.

Hardman recently returned from the reserve/injured list and entered the weekend designated as questionable on the injury report, while the Chiefs ruled out Moore on Thursday’s injury report.

While the Chiefs wanted to get Hardman some playing time before the postseason, his return to live action for the first time since Week 9 will now need to wait for the Chiefs’ first playoff game.

The Chiefs on Friday elevated wide receiver Ihmir Smith-Marsette from the practice squad to bolster their depth behind JuJu Smith-Schuster, Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Kadarius Toney and Justin Watson.

Quarterback Shane Buechele, defensive lineman Malik Herring, rookie offensive lineman Darin Kinnard, defensive end Joshua Kaindoh and kicker Matthew Wright round out the remaining inactive-players list for the Chiefs.

Kicker Harrison Butker (back), left guard Joe Thuney (ankle) and cornerback L’Jarius Sneed (hip) are active for the Chiefs. Each entered the weekend designated as questionable on the injury report.

For the Raiders, quarterback Derek Carr, defensive tackle Matthew Butler, defensive end Tashawn Bower, wide receiver Chris Lacy, running back Brittain Brown, guard Netane Muti and linebacker Darien Butler won’t play against the Chiefs.
