Eric Scott: Everything you need to know

Scott (calf) will be an unrestricted free agent after he was not tendered by Kansas City on Wednesday, per the NFL transaction report. Scott entered the offseason as a restricted free agent, but the Chiefs have decided to move on. The cornerback missed the entirety of the 2025 campaign while on injured reserve with an undisclosed injury. Scott has yet to make his NFL debut after being selected in the sixth round of the 2023 NFL Draft by the Cowboys, and he'll look to prove his health and do so in 2026.

Scott (undisclosed) reverted to injured reserve with Kansas City on Saturday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports. Scott was waived with an injury designation Friday due to an undisclosed injury, but he is now in line to miss the entire 2025 season while on IR with the Chiefs. The cornerback will need to reach an injury settlement with the team in order to potentially play this year.

The Chiefs waived Scott (undisclosed) with an injury designation Friday. Scott will be eligible to get picked up by another squad during the current waiver period, but if he's not, he should be bound for Kansas City's injured-reserve list. It hasn't been reported what type of injury he's dealing with.
