The Chiefs signed Ott to the practice squad Monday.

Ott joined the Chiefs on May 1 as an undrafted free agent and played in all three of the team's preseason games. He was waived Sunday after failing to crack the 53-man roster, but Ott will stay in Kansas City on the practice squad. The Oklahoma product would be a top candidate for elevation to the active roster if the Chiefs require additional depth in the backfield.

The Raiders signed Ogunbowale to the practice squad Monday.

Ogunbowale was unable to beat out Dylan Laube for the Raiders' RB3 role behind Ashton Jeanty (ankle) and Mike Washington, prompting Las Vegas to release Ogunbowale on Sunday. The veteran running back will stay with the organization as a member of the practice squad, and he could be elevated to the active roster for Week 1 against the Dolphins on Sunday, Sept. 13 if Jeanty is ruled out.

The Chiefs signed Evans to the practice squad Monday.

Evans didn't make the Chiefs' 53-man roster but will stay with the team as a member of the practice squad. He went undrafted in 2026 after spending his final collegiate season at Washington in 2025, totaling 17 catches for 254 yards and one touchdown across 11 regular-season games.

The Jaguars signed Taylor to the practice squad Monday.

The Jaguars waived Taylor during Sunday's cutdown day. The running back cleared waivers and was proficient enough during training camp to receive an invitation to the team's practice squad.

The Chiefs signed Kohou to the practice squad Tuesday.

Kohou failed to make the Chiefs' 53-man roster at the end of training camp but will stay in Kansas City on the team's practice squad.

Kohou appeared in 15 regular-season games for the Dolphins in 2024, logging 45 tackles (33 solo), eight pass defenses (including two interceptions), one forced fumble and one fumble recovery. He would be a candidate to be elevated to the Chiefs' active roster if L'Jarius Sneed (knee) were to miss time.

The Jaguars signed Pena to the practice squad Monday.

The Jaguars waived Pena during Sunday's cutdown day. The wide receiver cleared waivers but did enough during training camp to receive an invite back to the team's practice squad.
