Who Should I Start? Jacob Kibodi or Louis Rees-Zammit

New Orleans Saints running back Jacob Kibodi strung together an impressive performance in Sunday's loss to the Tennessee Titans. Kibodi carried the ball 12 times for 59 yards and two touchdowns, making his biggest impact yet this preseason. The 25-year-old undrafted rookie out of Louisiana is fighting for a spot on the practice squad with Fresno State product Jordan Mims, who has had a solid preseason.

The Kansas City Chiefs released former rugby star and running back Louis Rees-Zammit on Tuesday, according to sources. The Chiefs continue to cut down their roster to get to 53 players ahead of the 2024 regular season in less than two weeks, and they also cut running back Deneric Prince. The 23-year-old Rees-Zammit was fighting for a depth role this summer, but a back injury suffered on Monday in practice certainly didn't help his cause. The signing of Rees-Zammit was pretty much just an intriguing flier from the beginning, and he was unlikely to do much for the Chiefs this year outside of maybe some special teams duties had he made the team. With Rees-Zammit now gone, both Mecole Hardman and Nikko Remigio will likely take on bigger return roles to begin the regular season.
