Chargers S Derwin James Jr. (ankle) active vs. Chiefs

Los Angeles Chargers safety Derwin James Jr. was listed as active for Sunday's road game against the Kansas City Chiefs after nursing an ankle injury during the week.

James went through an on-field pregame workout before he was ruled eligible to play.

Also ruled inactive for the Chargers were cornerback Deane Leonard, running back running back Elijah Dotson, tight end Tre' McKitty, offensive lineman Zack Bailey and defensive lineman Christopher Hinton.

The Chiefs (5-1) made it official before the game and activated wide receiver Mecole Hardman Jr after he was acquired in a trade last week from the New York Jets.

Defensive end Charles Omenihu also was listed as active for the Chiefs after missing the first six games while on suspension for violation of the NFL's conduct policy.

Kansas City listed five players as inactive: wide receiver Justin Watson, offensive lineman Mike Caliendo and defensive linemen BJ Thompson, Neil Farrell and Malik Herring.
