The Browns signed Kibodi to the practice squad Wednesday. Kibodi spent time on the Saints' practice squad for much of the 2024 regular season, but he was never elevated to the 53-man roster. Now with Cleveland, and with Nick Chubb (foot) out for the season, the 26-year-old undrafted rookie could have a chance to compete for the opportunity to make his NFL debut.
The Saints cut Kibodi from the practice squad Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports. Since failing to make the Saints' 53-man roster at the end of training camp, Kibodi has been on New Orleans' practice squad for two separate stints. He could be invited back on the practice squad for the tail end of the 2024 regular season, but the 26-year-old running back has the opportunity to explore other opportunities.
The Saints signed Kibodi to the practice squad Tuesday, John Hendrix of SI.com reports. Kibodi signed with the Saints' practice squad in late August after failing to make the 53-man roster at the end of training camp. He was let go by New Orleans on Oct. 1, but after a month of being without a team, the 26-year-old running back will return to the Saints' practice squad. The undrafted rookie has yet to be elevated from the practice squad to the active roster this year, but Kibodi could have that opportunity against the Panthers on Sunday if third-string running back Kendre Miller (hamstring) is unable to play.
The Saints waived Kibodi off the practice squad Tuesday, John Hendrix of SI.com reports. The undrafted free agent out of Louisiana signed with the Saints in April. Kibodi wasn't able to make the 53-man roster at the end of training camp, but he opted to stick around on the practice squad. Assuming he clears waivers, Kibodi will look to catch on with another team in need of backfield depth.
Kibodi signed with the Saints' practice squad Wednesday. Kibodi linked up with New Orleans in the spring after going undrafted out of Louisiana. The 25-year-old netted 71 yards on the ground in the preseason on 18 carries and added another 30 yards through the air on four catches.
The Saints waived Kibodi on Tuesday, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports. Undrafted out of Louisiana, Kibodi signed with the Saints as a free agent and rushed 18 times for 71 yards (3.9 YPC) and two touchdowns during the preseason. He also caught four passes for 30 yards. Perhaps Kibodi did enough to warrant a look on the practice squad should he go unclaimed Wednesday.
