Chiefs WR Mecole Hardman (core) is inactive for Week 18 vs the Raiders.
Hardman returned from IR this week but didn't show enough to be active. A win would give Kansas City a first-round bye, allowing Hardman an extra week to get cleared. Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker (back) is active. In addition to Hardman, Kansas City ruled out QB Shane Buechele, K Matthew Wright, DE Joshua Kaindoh, OL Darian Kinnard, and DE Malik Herring.
