Jacob Kibodi: Everything you need to know

Kibodi reverted to the Browns' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log. Kibodi was signed to the Browns' practice squad Dec. 18 after being cut by the Saints in early December. He made his NFL regular-season debut against the Ravens on Saturday, and he ended up serving as the No. 2 running back behind D'Onta Foreman due to John Kelly injuring his groin before the start of the game. Kibodi took advantage of the opportunity, playing 17 snaps on offense and turning five carries into 24 yards while adding one catch (on three targets) for 15 yards. His performance in Cleveland's regular-season finale could earn him a reserve/future contract and a chance to catch on with a team for the 2025 campaign.

Kibodi had five carries for 24 yards and caught one of three targets for 15 yards in Saturday's 35-10 loss to the Ravens in Week 18. Kibodi, an undrafted free agent running back out Louisiana-Lafayette, was on and off with the Saints organization in 2024 before joining Cleveland's practice squad in December. He was elevated to the active roster and made his NFL debut due to several injuries in the backfield. In addition to the six touches on 17 offensive snaps, Kibodi had a couple of red-zone targets. Like many areas on Cleveland's offense, the backfield is expected to undergo a makeover in 2025. Whether Kibodi is part of that is still to be determined, but he could eventually sign a reserve/future contract, which would put him on the team's 90-man offseason roster.

The Browns elevated Kibodi from the practice squad for Saturday's game against the Ravens. With Jerome Ford (ankle) and Pierre Strong (concussion) sent to injured reserve Friday, Kibodi will slot in as the Browns' RB3 behind D'Onta Foreman and John Kelly versus Baltimore. The 26-year-old has yet to appear in a regular-season NFL game.
