Sticks around on practice squad
The Chiefs signed Remigio to their practice squad Wednesday, Sam McDowell of The Kansas City Star reports.
Analysis: Remigio didn't manage to make the Chiefs' 53-man roster despite a strong endorsement from special teams coordinator Dave Toub. Remigio finished with 133 yards on four kick returns, 42 yards on two punt returns and seven catches (on 11 targets) for 52 yards through three preseason games. He will begin the season on the taxi squad and wait for an opportunity to make his NFL debut in 2024.

Gets endorsement from Toub
Special teams coordinator Dave Toub told reporters Tuesday that he will "pound the table" for Remigio to make the Kansas City's 53-man roster as a return specialist, Matt Derrick of ChiefsDigest.com reports.
Analysis: Remigio has been competing against Skyy Moore, Mecole Hardman and others for a return specialist role on kickoffs and punts during training camp. Across the Chiefs' two preseason games, Remigio has returned his two kickoffs for 31 yards each and added a 42-yard punt return in Saturday's contest against the Lions. He's also seen work on offense, accumulating five catches on eight targets for 51 targets across his two preseason outings. Remigio spent all of 2023 on the Chiefs' reserve/injured…read more

Could make 53-man roster
Remigio has been returning punts and kicks while also working with Kansas City's first-team offense during training camp, Pete Sweeney of ArrowheadPride.com reports.
Analysis: The second-year wide receiver out of Fresno State has emerged throughout the summer, receiving increased reps with the first-team offense and impressing the coaching staff. Remigio has also been working as a return man, which enhances his chances of making Kansas City's 53-man roster. As the preseason continues, expect Remigio to compete for a depth role on the Chiefs' offense as well as the position of the team's top return man.

Building momentum entering Year 2
Remigio took a substantial amount of first-team reps throughout OTAs and minicamp and looked impressive, Adam Teicher of ESPN reports.
Analysis: He got a chance to handle increased reps due to first-round rookie Xavier Worthy (hamstring) being sidelined, and Teicher reports that Remigio made the most of those opportunities. Kansas City boasts a crowded but still unsettled wide receiver corps, so Remigio will have to find a way to stand out in training camp alongside all of Marquise Brown, Rashee Rice, Justin Watson, Kadarius Toney, Mecole Hardman, Skyy Moore and Justyn Ross in order to make the roster. As Teicher notes, Remigio's…read more

Analysis: Remigio spent the entirety of the 2023 campaign on Kansas City's reserve/injured list with a wrist injury, but he now appears to have fully recovered.

Injured during practice
Remigio appeared to suffer a wrist injury during practice Tuesday, Nate Taylor of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Remigio left the field holding his left wrist while he was carted off.
