Every week we bring you all the inactives from the 1 p.m. ET games in one post, constantly updated with the latest information.
The Chiefs won’t have to contend with Browns tight end David Njoku on Sunday.
Njoku was listed as questionable to play because of a hamstring injury and the team made him inactive 90 minutes ahead of kickoff in Cleveland. Njoku has missed three other games this season and has 56 catches in the 10 games he has played.
The Browns also made kicker Dustin Hopkins inactive. Riley Patterson will handle their kicking duties.

The Jets are looking for a General Manager, and they have no limitation on speaking to candidates who aren’t currently connected to any teams.
Via Adam Schefter of ESPN.com, the Jets will interview former Titans G.M. Jon Robinson and ESPN analyst Louis Riddick.
ESPN analyst Mike Tannenbaum, and former Jets G.M., Mike Tannenbaum is assisting the team with its search through his separate business, The 33rd Team.
The Jets, per the report, haven’t decided to hire a G.M. before a coach or a coach before a G.M. They will interview other candidates for the G.M. job beyond Robinson and Riddick.
The article from ESPN.com touts Robinson by pointing out that he drafted running back Derrick Henry and receiver A.J. Brown. It fails to mention that Robinson also traded A.J. Brown in lieu of giving him a second contract for a first-round pick that became receiver Treylon Burks. In three seasons, Burks has been a major disappointment, with 53 career catches for 699 yards and one touchdown.
Riddick is a former front-office employee who has interviewed for multiple G.M. vacancies without receiving an offer.
Jets owner Woody Johnson fired both coach Robert Saleh and G.M. Joe Douglas during a disastrous 3-10 season.
The Bengals placed linebacker Joe Bachie on injured reserve Saturday, the team announced.
Bachie injured his groin Monday night against the Cowboys, and coach Zac Taylor indicated Wednesday that Bachie will miss multiple games. Thus, Bachie’s season is finished unless the Bengals somehow make the postseason.
Bachie has played only 37 defensive snaps in 12 games this season but was a core special teams player with 220 special teams snaps.
The Bengals signed quarterback Logan Woodside from the practice squad to the active roster in a corresponding move. Woodside, a fifth-year player, has spent the first 13 games of this season on Cincinnati’s practice squad.
The move will allow him to dress for Sunday’s game and serve as the emergency third quarterback behind Joe Burrow and Jake Browning.
The Bengals also elevated offensive tackle Andrew Coker and kicker Cade York for Sunday’s game against the Titans.
Hall of Fame receiver Randy Moss has announced that he is a “cancer survivor.”
In a Friday afternoon Instagram Live session, Moss disclosed that he had a six-hour surgery six days ago for bile duct cancer. He said he had a Whipple procedure, and that the cancer was just outside the bile duct, between the pancreas and the liver.
Moss, who moved slowly but was in very good spirits, said he’ll now have chemotherapy and radiation.
The recent surgery followed a 2.5-hour procedure on Thanksgiving to put a stent in his liver.
Moss urged everyone to undergo regular screening. “By the grace of God, my liver started acting up,” Moss said. He had discolored urine, and the diagnostic procedures eventually disclosed the cancer.
Moss has gear available at his personal website, with proceeds going to cancer research.
He’s currently on an extended leave of absence from ESPN. He fully intends to return.
“My goal is to get back on that television with my team,” Moss said.
Our goal is to see that happen. Best wishes to one of the all-time greats, who is now using his platform to inspire others to get themselves properly evaluated for any an all illnesses that, if caught early, can be cured.
Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow came out of Monday night’s win over the Cowboys with a knee issue, but it won’t impact his availability for Sunday’s game against the Titans.
Burrow was limited in practice on Wednesday and Thursday before returning to full practice participation. Burrow has no injury designation, which leaves him on track to start in Tennessee.
Left tackle Orlando Brown Jr. (fibula), defensive tackle Sheldon Rankins (illness), and linebacker Joe Bachie (groin) all missed practice every day this week and they have been ruled out for Sunday.
Wide receiver Charlie Jones (groin) returned for a limited practice on Friday and he is the only Bengals player with an injury designation.
