JuJu Smith-Schuster (ankle) was inactive against his former team a week after his best game of the season, when he caught six passes for 90 yards against the Steelers, another former team.

The Chiefs will be without running back Isiah Pacheco, who had surgery on his injured shoulder this week. Kansas City also listed as inactive: CB Joshua Williams, DE B.J. Thompson, OT Donovan Smith, DT Neil Farrell, DT Matt Dickerson and DE Malik Herring.

The Patriots also listed as inactive: RB Rhamondre Stevenson, OT Trent Brown, CB Shaun Wade, DE Sam Roberts and WR Kayshon Boutte.
