While the Kansas City Chiefs could be missing multiple defensive starters on Sunday, their opponent, the Atlanta Falcons are relatively healthy heading into Week 1, as they have only two players on the injured list. Cornerback Christopher Owens and running back Jason Snelling are listed as probable and fully participated in Friday's practice:

Missing Owens would not be a big deal as he is a third-string cornerback, but if Snelling had been out, then the Falcons' running game could have taken a hit. Both players should be suiting up on Sunday, and it would be a major surprise if either were listed as inactives on Sunday.
