According to Wednesday’s NFL Transactions Report, the Kansas City Chiefs have yet to make the signing of veteran defensive end Emmanuel Ogbah official. He was technically on a “visit” on Wednesday when he was seen on the sideline of training camp practice in St. Joe.
When he does reportedly sign, there will need to be a corresponding move on the 90-man offseason roster. One local source is reporting who that will be.
The Kansas City Chiefs officially announced they have signed veteran defensive end Emmanuel Ogbah. This comes after a few days of maneuvering between the official announcement of Ogbah’s return and his travel to Chiefs training camp in St. Joseph, Missouri, to pass a physical and sign his deal with the team. With a full roster, Kansas City needed to make a corresponding roster move. According to Chiefs Digest’s Matt Derrick, the team has waived undrafted free agent CB Bryce Phillips.

“Make a play out of nothing to a 20-yard gain,” Mahomes said. “That’s going to be the biggest impact I think we’ll have.”
Another future Hall of Famer is seeing things a similar way.
Tight end Travis Kelce, when asked about his first impression of Walker this week, first answered with a sound instead of words:
“Woooo!”
“Ken Walker is going to be a hell of a ballplayer for us, if you didn’t know that already,” Kelce said. “He’s got every trait you can possibly want at the running back position.”

For now, these three players have emerged as three of the most intriguing in St.Joseph and give Kansas City a reason to keep watching as the season approaches.

Running back Emmett Johnson earned a touch with the first team in 11-on-11, which has been a rarity for him so far this camp. Andy Reid seemingly has a lot of candidates for jet action — including Thornton, Cyrus Allen and Xavier Worthy — but it’s been a while since Worthy has participated in team periods as he recovers from a shoulder injury.

In case you missed it on Arrowhead PrideFilm breakdown: What can Emmanuel Ogbah give the Chiefs in Year 11?
There should be no illusions that Ogbah is here to save the day; the edge unit will still be thin even with the addition, but what he can provide the Chiefs is a veteran presence and a player with a decent floor for 2026.
George Karlaftis is the only edge rusher on the Chiefs roster with extensive experience, and at the bare minimum, Ogbah should be able to step in and eat up snaps as a run defender and help provide leadership to the Chiefs’young defensive line.
The best-case scenario would be for Ogbah to return to the form he displayed during the 2024 season, but this may not be in the cards for him at this point either.
