What happened: The Kansas City Chiefs activated running back Nate Carter, who joined the practice squad in October, and wide receiver Jacob De Jesus via standard elevation on Saturday. Both players are eligible for Sunday's road matchup against the Atlanta Falcons.

Why it matters: Carter provides backfield depth with starter Kenneth Walker ruled out due to a groin injury suffered in Thursday's practice. De Jesus, a rookie out of California signed on Nov. 4, provides depth at receiver and on special teams.

What to watch: The Chiefs face the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday. Inactive lists will be announced 90 minutes prior to kickoff.
