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
Rotowire
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
Rotowire
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: Won't play due to shoulder injury
Rotowire
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
Rotowire
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: Signed to Chiefs' active roster
Rotowire
Kansas City signed Remigio from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday.
Remigio has spent the entire regular season on the Chiefs' practice squad after he failed to make the 53-man roster at the end of training camp. Although he was never elevated from the practice squad, he now has a chance to make his NFL regular-season debut against the Chargers on Sunday. Remigio will likely be limited to special teams work if he plays, though he could see some offensive snaps should any member of Kansas City's wide receiver corps be sidelined due to injury.

Chiefs' Nikko Remigio: Gets endorsement from Toub
Rotowire
Special teams coordinator Dave Toub told reporters Tuesday that he will "pound the table" for Remigio to make the Kansas City's 53-man roster as a return specialist, Matt Derrick of ChiefsDigest.com reports.
Remigio has been competing against Skyy Moore, Mecole Hardman and others for a return specialist role on kickoffs and punts during training camp. Across the Chiefs' two preseason games, Remigio has returned his two kickoffs for 31 yards each and added a 42-yard punt return in Saturday's contest against the Lions. He's also seen work on offense, accumulating five catches on eight targets for 51 targets across his two preseason outings. Remigio spent all of 2023 on the Chiefs' reserve/injured list with a wrist injury, and he has the endorsement of Toub to make the final 53-man roster at the end of training camp.

Rotowire
Remigio has been returning punts and kicks while also working with Kansas City's first-team offense during training camp, Pete Sweeney of ArrowheadPride.com reports.
The second-year wide receiver out of Fresno State has emerged throughout the summer, receiving increased reps with the first-team offense and impressing the coaching staff. Remigio has also been working as a return man, which enhances his chances of making Kansas City's 53-man roster. As the preseason continues, expect Remigio to compete for a depth role on the Chiefs' offense as well as the position of the team's top return man.

Chiefs' Nikko Remigio: Injured during practice
Rotowire
Remigio appeared to suffer a wrist injury during practice Tuesday, Nate Taylor of The Athletic reports.
Remigio left the field holding his left wrist while he was carted off. The Fresno State product is working to make the team after going undrafted in 2023 and was impressive during the team's preseason game Sunday against the Saints, according to Taylor. He'll now focus on getting healthy, so he can continue trying to break camp on the 53-man roster.
