Who Should I Start? Keaontay Ingram or Jawhar Jordan

Kansas City Chiefs running back Keaontay Ingram (undisclosed) cleared waivers and reverted to injured reserve last Friday, according to KPRC's Aaron Wilson. The Chiefs previously spoke highly of the 25-year-old running back, and he's now sticking around the organization after the rest of the NFL opted against claiming him. Ingram played in just one game with the Chiefs last year, but before that, he amassed 181 scrimmage yards and one touchdown through two seasons with the Arizona Cardinals. Ingram will miss the entire 2025 season unless he agrees to an injury settlement with Kansas City, which would result in his release.

The Houston Texans reached injury settlements with rookie running back Jawhar Jordan (oblique) and defensive tackle Pheldarius Payne (hamstring) on Tuesday, waiving them from Injured Reserve. Jordan was taken in the sixth round this past April out of Louisville by the Texans, but he won't make his NFL debut in Houston. The 25-year-old will need to prove his healthy before potentially joining another organization, most likely on the practice squad. Jordan lacks size and physicality, but he could eventually develop into a third-down back somewhere if he can stay healthy because of his vision on the field and his blocking skills in pass protection. Payne, 24, is expected to join the team's practice squad after reaching an injury settlement. He suffered his hamstring injury in the team's preseason finale.
