Recently released Chiefs receiver could solve Rams' return issues

As the NFL resets following a wild day of deals before the trade deadline, rosters have to be adjusted so teams will be able to onboard their new acquisitions. While contenders were wheeling and dealing, the Los Angeles Rams made the decision to stay put, even with a roster that is dealing with a variety of injuries – especially on the offensive side of the ball.

Even though the deadline has passed, a player who could fill a critical need for Los Angeles has just become available. Due to their recent trade for receiver Josh Downs, the Kansas City Chiefs have waived returner/wide receiver Nikko Remigio.

Remigio, a 2022 undrafted free agent out of Fresno State, won Super Bowl LVIII with the Chiefs and helped the team make Super Bowl LIX with a 44-yard punt return in the AFC Championship Game. A student of special teams coordinator Dave Toub, one of the best coaches in the business, Remigio could be an instant fix to the Rams' return game issues, where starting running back Kyren Williams is being used as a punt returner.

Remigio has 50 career punt returns for 373 yards (7.5 average) and 52 kick returns for 1,354 yards (26.0 average). His longest punt return is 31 yards and his longest kickoff return is 47 yards.

If the Rams want Remigio, they'll have to put in a waiver claim for the return specialist. Needless to say, he would be their most consistent and explosive returner in some time.
