Jeremy Maclin inactive for Chiefs after concussion

The Kansas City Chiefs will be without the services of their leading wide receiver on Sunday against the Pittsburgh Steelers as veteran Jeremy Maclin was listed as one of the team's seven inactives 90 minutes prior to kickoff. "But he did, he went through practice today and did a nice job with it".

Kansas City opened its campaign with a victory over the Houston Texans but since then lost in its next five games, with the most recent to the Vikings last Sunday.

Maclin has 39 receptions for 531 yards this season while playing in six games, all as a starter. Albert Wilson and Chris Conley will be the two main wide receivers for Alex Smith to sling it to on Sunday.

Reid revealed running back Jamaal Charles had surgery Tuesday to fix a torn ACL in his right knee, while cornerback Phillip Gaines underwent surgery to fix a torn ACL in his left knee the previous week. So did defensive end Mike DeVito, who is also on the inactive list. "He worked (Thursday); the swelling stayed out of it pretty good, we just didn't want (it) to increase here today", Reid said.

Ramik Wilson is also a name I'd rather not be seeing on this list, as he's had a promising rookie season so far. "He should be good as we go forward". Defensive tackle Donari Poe is questionable after sitting last week with an ankle injury and linebacker Tamba Hali drew the same designation because of a knee issue.
