KANSAS CITY – Kansas City Chiefs and the New York Jets inactive players for today’s NFL game at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City. Live television coverage is on CBS and CBS All Access will provide the live streaming action.

Demarcus Robinson has done well so far and he is expected to be used as the team’s No. 2 wideout with Tyreek Hill.
