The Chargers have listed the following players as inactive for Sunday's Week 7 matchup with the Chiefs: cornerback Jason Verrett (shoulder), running backs Ryan Mathews (knee) and Donald Brown (concussion), linebackers Jeremiah Attaochu (hamstring) and Manti Te'o (foot), wide receiver Dontrelle Inman and defensive tackle Ricardo Mathews.

The two running backs and Te'o were ruled out on the team's final injury report, while Attaochu was doubtful to play. Verrett is inactive after being questionable on the final injury report, but cornerback Brandon Flowers (groin) and linebackers Dwight Freeney (knee) and Cordarro Law (ankle) are all active after also being questionable.

Five Chargers are active after drawing a probable tag, including wide receiver Eddie Royal (elbow), linebacker Reggie Walker (ankle), cornerback Shareece Wright (knee) and offensive linemen D.J. Fluker (ankle) and Rich Ohrnberger (back).

The Chiefs have listed the following players as inactive for Sunday's Week 7 matchup with the Chargers: quarterback Aaron Murray, wide receiver Donnie Avery (groin), cornerback Chris Owens (knee), safety Eric Berry (ankle), center Eric Kush, tackle Laurent Duvernay-Tardif and defensive end Damion Square.

Avery, Owens and Berry were all listed as out heading into the day. Cornerback Sean Smith (groin) and running back Cyrus Gray (hand) were questionable to play but both are active, as is cornerback Phillip Gaines (concussion), who was listed as probable.

The Cardinals have listed 12 players on their final injury report for Week 7 at Oakland. As expected, defensive end Calais Campbell (knee) and tight end Troy Niklas (ankle) were ruled out for Sunday.

Deemed questionable were tight end John Carlson (knee), inside linebacker Glenn Carson, defensive end Frostee Rucker (calf) and defensive tackle Alameda Ta'amu (illness). Meanwhile, wide receiver John Brown (hamstring), Andre Ellington (foot), wide receiver Michael Floyd (groin), outside linebacker Alex Okafor (quad), quarterback Carson Palmer (shoulder) and Patrick Peterson (ankle) were all labeled as probable on the report.

As expected, the Cardinals will have their top three offensive stars for Week 7 against the Raiders. Quarterback Carson Palmer (right shoulder) was ruled probable for Sunday's game against his former team. Palmer returned to action last week and threw for 250 yards and two touchdowns against Washington.

Running back Andre Ellington was a limited participant in practice all week because of a lingering foot injury. Wide receiver Michael Floyd was a full participant Thursday and Friday despite dealing with a groin injury. Both players were deemed probable on the final injury report.

Running back Montee Ball (groin) will almost certainly be the lone injured Broncos player out for their Sunday night game against San Francisco. The rest on their injury report issued Friday are probable.

That group consists of defensive backs Omar Bolden (groin), David Bruton (ankle) and Chris Harris (knee), kicker Brandon McManus (groin), linebacker Corey Nelson (hamstring) and running back Juwan Thompson (knee).

Four defensive backs pepper the Friday injury report released by the Chiefs for their Week 7 game against San Diego. Included are safety Eric Berry (ankle) and cornerback Chris Owens (knee), who have been ruled out. Sean Smith (groin) is questionable while fellow cornerback Phillip Gaines (concussion) is probable.

The two exceptions are wide receiver Donnie Avery (groin), who is out, and running back Cyrus Gray (hand), who is questionable.

Running backs Donald Brown (concussion) and Ryan Mathews (knee) have been ruled out by the Chargers for their Sunday game against Kansas City. Also red-lighted is linebacker Manti Te'o (foot).

Listed as doubtful is linebacker Jeremiah Attaochu (hamstring) while cornerbacks Jason Verrett (shoulder) and Brandon Flowers (groin), linebacker Dwight Freeney (knee) and defensive end Cordarro Law (ankle) are questionable.

The probables are offensive linemen Rich Ohrnberger (back) and D.J. Fluker (ankle), wideout Eddie Royal (elbow), linebacker Reggie Walker (ankle) and cornerback Shareece Wright (knee).

As expected, Chargers featured back Ryan Mathews is again inactive Sunday for their game against Kansas City. He has been out since Week 3 with a knee injury.

As expected, the Vikings have ruled tight end Kyle Rudolph (abdomen, groin) out for Week 7 at Buffalo. Other players ruled out on the final injury report were: linebacker Gerald Hodges (hamstring) and defensive end Corey Wootton (lower back).

Meanwhile, defensive tackle Sharrif Floyd (elbow, ankle) and linebacker Chad Greenway (hand, rib) were deemed questionable, while cornerback Jabari Price (hamstring), defensive tackle Linval Joseph (ankle), wide receiver Cordarrelle Patterson (hip), tight end Chase Ford (foot), safety Harrison Smith (ankle) and linebacker Michael Mauti (illness) were officially ruled probable for Sunday.

Mike Pettine has declared that Browns rookie running back Terrance West, who was banished to the inactive list in Week 6 following poor practice performances, will be active Sunday against Jacksonville after picking up the pace in more recent sessions.

West rushed for 100 yards in his NFL debut in Week 1, but has since slipped behind impressive fellow rookie Isaiah Crowell on the depth chart as the chief backup to featured back Ben Tate.
