Vikings-Chiefs Inactives: Mahomes Out, Thielen Active

The Chiefs and Vikings have released their inactive lists, confirming what was already expected: Patrick Mahomes will not play, and Adam Thielen will.

Both Mahomes and Thielen's statuses were expected, based on earlier reports from ESPN's Adam Schefter, but they're now official.

Matt Moore will make his second consecutive start for the Chiefs. Also notably inactive for the Chiefs are DE Frank Clark, RB Darwin Thompson, and CB Kendall Fuller. DT Chris Jones is active after being listed as questionable.

For the Vikings, Thielen returns after missing last Thursday's game against the Redskins with the hamstring injury he suffered against the Lions.

The Vikings are almost completely healthy.

Kickoff is at noon from Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City.
