Nikko Remigio Waived by Kansas City Chiefs After Midseason Move

The Kansas City Chiefs waived wide receiver and return specialist Nikko Remigio on Wednesday to free up roster space following their trade for Josh Downs. Remigio served as Kansas City's primary returner for three seasons, highlighted by a 41-yard punt return in the 2024 AFC Championship Game. However, his punt return average dropped to an NFL-low 5.6 yards this season across qualified returners.
