Chiefs' Nikko Remigio: Ready for Week 9
Remigio is officially active for Sunday's game against the Jets.
The 27-year-old was questionable due to a hip issue, but it's no surprise he's suiting up after putting in full practice sessions Thursday and Friday. Remigio has played just two offensive snaps this year but has operated as Kansas City's primary return man and should continue to do so Sunday.

Remigio (hip) was a full participant at the Chiefs' practice Thursday.

Chiefs' Nikko Remigio: Solid as returner Monday
Remigio returned two punts for seven yards and three kicks for 78 yards during Monday's 31-10 win versus the Broncos.

Chiefs' Nikko Remigio: Remaining with Kansas City
Remigio (knee) signed his exclusive-rights tender with the Chiefs on Monday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Remigio missed the last two games of the 2025 regular season due to a knee injury. Now healthy, the kick and punt returner is set to run it back with the Chiefs for the 2026 regular season. Remigio played in 14 regular-season games in 2025, totaling 741 kick-return yards and 191 punt-return yards.

Chiefs' Nikko Remigio: Lands on IR
The Chiefs placed Remigio (knee) on injured reserve Thursday.
Remigio will miss Kansas City's final two games of the 2025 campaign due to a knee injury. He logged 14 regular-season appearances with the team in 2025, in which span he mostly contributed on special teams, but did secure his only target for 21 yards. With Remigio and Tyquan Thornton (concussion) both having been placed on IR, Brashard Smith and Jalen Royals will be the favorites to take over as the Chiefs' top contributors in the return game.

Chiefs' Nikko Remigio: Questionable for Christmas Day
Remigio (knee) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Broncos.
Remigio was held out of practice Tuesday and Wednesday due to a knee injury, and his official status for Christmas Day may not be known until the Chiefs announce their list of inactive players approximately 90 minutes before the 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff. With Rashee Rice (concussion) and Tyquan Thornton (concussion) both on injured reserve, Remigio and rookie fourth-rounder Jalen Royals are slated for larger rotational roles on offense behind Xavier Worthy, Hollywood Brown and JuJu Smith-Schuster.

Chiefs' Nikko Remigio: Will not practice Tuesday
Remigio (knee) will not participate in Tuesday's practice, Matt Derrick of ChiefsDigest.com reports.
Remigio was a full participant in Monday's session, so the downgrade to DNP is a bad sign for the returner's status ahead of Thursday night's game against the Broncos. The lead kick and punt returner will have one more opportunity to upgrade his practice participation, and if he cannot, he will likely have to miss Thursday's contest.

Chiefs' Nikko Remigio: Logs full practice Wednesday
Remigio (concussion) was a full participant at practice Wednesday.
Remigio missed Sunday's game versus the Texans with what was listed as a shoulder injury, and it's not clear if the concussion listing is related. Either way, it now appears he's trending toward suiting up in Week 15 versus the Chargers.

Chiefs' Nikko Remigio: Won't play due to shoulder injury
Remigio (shoulder) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Texans.
Remigio was listed as a limited practice participant Friday due to a shoulder issue, which is severe enough for him to miss his first game of the season. He's mostly served on special teams as a returner on punts and kickoffs, so in Remigio's absence, those duties will fall to Tyquan Thornton, Brashard Smith and Jalen Royals. Remigio will aim to progress enough in his recovery to return in Week 15 against the Chargers on Sunday, Dec. 14.

Chiefs' Nikko Remigio: Snares lone target against Philly
Remigio reeled in his only target for 21 yards during Sunday's 20-17 loss against the Eagles.
Remigio saw the field for all of two offensive snaps, so his one target isn't really something to get excited about. The rookie figures to drop further down the pecking order when Xavier Worthy (shoulder) and Jalen Royals (knee) are cleared, and when Rashee Rice is clear of his six-game suspension. Remigio ranked fifth among wideouts in snaps Sunday despite the trio of absences.

Chiefs' Nikko Remigio: Records two catches in 2024
Remigio played in five regular-season games in 2024 and posted two catches (on six targets) for 48 yards while adding 295 kick-return yards and 104 punt-return yards. He added 301 kick-return yards and 57 punt-return yards across the Chiefs' three playoff games.
Remigio spent the entire 2023 season on injured reserve due to a wrist injury that he suffered during training camp. He was unable to make the Chiefs' 53-man roster at the end of training camp in late August, but he opted to stick around and signed with the practice squad. Remigio was signed to the active roster in early December and made his NFL regular-season debut Week 14 against the Chargers. He mostly was used as a return specialist in the eight games he appeared in across the regular season and playoffs, but he did play 30 offensive snaps Week 18 against the Broncos. Remigio will look to improve during the offseason in order to earn a more consistent role in the Chiefs offense for the 2025 season.
