Gone are last year's backups Gardner Minshew II and Chris Oladokun. In to replace them are Fields, whom the Chiefs traded for in March in exchange for a 2027 sixth-round pick, and Nussmeier, the rookie whom the Chiefs drafted in the seventh round of this year's draft.

The Broncos are fully healthy, but the Chiefs have a few players ruled out. Chris Jones was DNP for practice today, but was not ruled out of the game.
