Sneed (knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Chargers, Matt McMullen of the Chiefs' official site reports.

Sneed was a limited participant in all three Week 6 prep sessions. The slot cornerback has recovered from his knee injury enough to suit up as a starter in Sunday's divisional contest against the Chargers.

Zuhn (knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Bills.

Zuhn has recovered enough from his knee injury to suit up for Sunday's contest. The offensive lineman will provide additional depth to the Raiders' offensive line as they take on the Bills.

Thompson (quadriceps) is active for Sunday's game against the Chiefs.

Though Thompson is suiting up for the first time since Week 2, it's unclear how extensively he'll be able to play Sunday. The Chargers have a full list of injured players on their seven-man inactive list, so it's conceivable that much like Ladd McConkey a week ago in the team's loss to the Broncos, Thompson could be available only as an emergency option after he was limited in practices Wednesday through Friday. During the Chargers' first two games of the season, Thompson handled a light role on offense, playing just 22 total snaps while recording one reception for 13 yards on three targets.

O'Connell (coach's decision) is inactive but will serve as the Raiders' emergency third quarterback against the Bills on Sunday.

O'Connell remains the third option behind Kirk Cousins and Fernando Mendoza. The quarterback will only enter the game if both Cousins and Mendoza must leave the contest due to injury, illness or ejection.

Dupree (neck) won't play in Sunday's game against Kansas City.

Dupree suffered a neck injury in the Week 5 meeting with the Broncos. He practiced in a limited capacity a few times during the week but ended up receiving a questionable tag. Now that Dupree has been ruled out, rookie Akheem Mesidor is in line for more snaps.

Henley (knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Chiefs.

Henley was listed as questionable for Sunday's game due to a knee injury. The linebacker was limited in practice all week due to the injury but has recovered enough to suit up for the Chargers' Sunday divisional contest against the Chiefs.

Oliver (knee) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Raiders.

Oliver will miss a second consecutive game due to the knee injury he sustained during the Bills' Week 4 loss to the Patriots. The defensive tackle will once again be replaced by a mixture of Greg Gaines, DeWayne Carter and T.J. Sanders.

Lambert-Smith (hamstring) is active for Sunday's game against the Chiefs.

After being designated for return to practice this week, Lambert-Smith turned in a pair of limited sessions before upgrading to full participation Friday. He ultimately showed enough improvement in his recovery from the hamstring injury for the Chargers to clear him to play for the first time since Week 1. Lambert-Smith's return to action will bolster a receiving corps that will be without Tre' Harris (hamstring) in Week 6.

Alford (ankle) is active for Sunday's game against the Raiders.

Alford was limited throughout Week 6 prep after missing the Bills' Monday night win over the Rams with an ankle injury. The slot cornerback is back in action and ready to cover Brock Bowers in the slot during Sunday's game against the Raiders.

Echols (hamstring) won't return to Sunday's game against Tampa Bay, Mike DeFabo of The Athletic reports.

Echols was injured on a Buccaneers punt in the first half. He limped off the field and was eventually ruled out coming out of halftime due to a hamstring injury. With Echols done for the remainder of Week 6, rookie Daylen Everette will need to step up.
