Chiefs, Chargers Announce Inactives for Season-Opener

Chiefs rookie defensive tackle Omarr Norman-Lott is out for Friday’s season-opener, and Chargers guard Mekhi Becton will play.

Those are the two names of interest among the inactives submitted 90 minutes prior to Friday’s kickoff against the Chargers in São Paulo, Brazil (7 p.m. CT, YouTube, KSHB-TV 41, 96.5 The Fan).

Norman-Lott injured his ankle early in training camp, then aggravated the injury in the second preseason game at Seattle Aug. 15. He’s been limited in practice ever since. The Chiefs’ second-round selection (63rd overall) in the 2025 draft, Norman-Lott will have to wait until at least next week to make his NFL debut.e

Becton, who signed a two-year, $20 million free-agent contract with the Chargers this past March, was added to the injury report earlier in the day Friday as questionable with an illness. He was seen warming up prior to the team officially making him active. It’s uncertain whether he’ll start.
