The Kansas City Chiefs cut their starting punt returner of three years, Nikko Remigio, earlier this week. He posted a thoughtful goodbye message to Chiefs Kingdom on Instagram, ending with a note that he is signing with the Houston Texans’ active roster.
On Thursday, special teams coordinator Dave Toub told local media that he and Remigio shared a tearful goodbye and said Remigio was like a son to him.

Texans Sign WR/KR Nikko Remigio | Pro Football Rumors
The Texans have signed wide receiver/returner Nikko Remigio, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 reports. Remigio will join the Texans’ 53-man roster.
After going undrafted out of Fresno State in 2023, Remigio signed with the Chiefs and went on to spend his first three-plus seasons in the organization. Even though Remigio had been the Chiefs’ primary returner since 2024, they cut him on Wednesday to open up a roster spot for newly acquired receiver Josh Downs.
Kansas City Chiefs Tap Clark-AECOM JV for New Stadium | ENR
The National Football League’s Kansas City Chiefs franchise has named a joint venture of Clark Construction Group and AECOM as construction team for its planned stadium in Wyandotte County, Kan.
The team in July selected MANICA as lead architect, HNTB as architect of record and CAA ICON as owner’s representative for the $3-billion enclosed stadium. The 70,000-seat venue is envisioned as the anchor of a mixed-use development and entertainment destination.
“As we finish the overall design, Clark | AECOM will help us advance the project further by identifying more certainty around project scope, budget and scheduling,” said Chiefs President Mark Donovan in a news release.
‘Another guy to help us get after the quarterback’ — Kansas City Chiefs second-year DT Omarr Norman-Lott nears injury return | A to Z Sports
“Yeah, I watched him one-on-ones last week,” Spagnuolo said. “I thought he looked more like Omarr (Norman-Lott). I think he still got a little ways to go. Now I’m just going to trust the trainers on that. But they got him out there working and hopefully get him to the point where he can help us. But you know, we’re not there yet.”
As things stand, Norman-Lott doesn’t look likely to return in Week 10 against the Atlanta Falcons, but Week 11’s game against the Arizona Cardinals appears to be the target return date.

Eric Bieniemy Breaks Silence on Sideline Tirade With Emmett Johnson | Heavy Sports
Despite his tough and, as Bieniemy describes it, “colorful” approach to coaching, his players consistently praise him. Bieniemy does a good job of teaching a lesson after emotions calm down, which is what he went on to explain.
“Everybody has a job to do,” Bieniemy continued. “The right tackle has to do his job, that’s where it starts. Emmett has to have a feel and do his part. Am I blaming him for anything? No, not at all. Things happen throughout the course of a season. If those things don’t present themselves, they don’t become those valuable lessons that need to be taught and learned.”

Commanders stun Giants in final minute to save their season; what now in NFC East? | The Athletic
While the Commanders (3-5-1) still have work to do to climb back into the race and catch the 5-3-1 Giants, this was a game they had to have to keep their faint playoff hopes alive. The victory also might take a little heat off coach Dan Quinn after a series of losses and questionable game-management decisions.
The Commanders get to take advantage of a minibye, as they don’t play again until Nov. 23, a “Monday Night Football” game against MVP candidate Joe Burrow and the Cincinnati Bengals.
Chargers’ Jim Harbaugh frustrated with Broncos after nixed Daiyan Henley trade | ESPN
When asked if teams should be able to renegotiate a deal beyond the deadline, Harbaugh said Thursday, “It shouldn’t be, but apparently it is.
“But that’s why it’s a loophole, and teams should not have the ability to do that. I mean, it’s a medical grade. It’s a pass-fail for a medical grade, and they told us they weren’t going to pass him if it was a fourth and a fifth, which was agreed upon. And they would not pass him for that. They would pass him for a fourth and a fill-in-the-blank. And that was, I don’t know what to call that, but that’s what it is.”
Rams place WR Puka Nacua on IR | Pro Football Talk
McVay said “roster semantics” would keep Nacua on the 53-man roster, with every team getting only eight designated-to-return slots during the season. The Rams have used three of their designations and have Kobie Turner, Davante Adams, Terrance Ferguson and now Nacua on IR with hopes of returning.
But with Nacua set to miss “extended time,” as McVay said Wednesday, with MCL and PCL sprains in his knee and turf toe, the Rams opted to move him to the IR list.
Nacua will miss at least the next four games, with the Cowboys game on Dec. 20 the earliest he can return by rule.

Arrowhead Pride Midseason Awards: The Chiefs’ Protector of the Year
The Chiefs’ run game has been revitalized this year, and Smith has been a key factor in the push up front. Kansas City ranks 10th in ESPN’s run-block win rate (74%), despite two games in which starting left guard Kingsley Suamataia was benched.
The Chiefs rank 12th in pass-block win rate as a unit, and Smith does not grade as highly in pass blocking as Humphrey or Suamataia, according to ESPN, but Smith has allowed just seven pressures (two quarterback hits and five hurries) over 307 pass-blocking snaps; Suamataia has allowed seven pressures (one sack, three hits and three pressures) in just 221 pass-blocking snaps, according to Pro Football Focus.
