Gets chance with Eagles Philadelphia signed Steele to a reserve/future contract Tuesday.

Joins KC's practice squad Steele signed with Kansas City's practice squad Wednesday, Matt Derrick of ChiefsDigest.com reports.

Impact Steele failed to make the 53-man roster out of training camp but went unclaimed on waivers, so he'll stick with the Chiefs organization. He can contribute as either a running back or fullback in the backfield, but Steele isn't guaranteed to be the next man up if injuries strike, as Clyde Edwards-Helaire is also signing with Kansas City's practice squad.

Time up in Kansas City The Chiefs waived Steele on Tuesday, Matt Derrick of ChiefsDigest.com reports.

Impact Steele's opportunity with the Chiefs ends as the process of cutting down to a 53-man roster begins. As a rookie last season, Steele suited up for all 17 regular-season games and logged 56 carries for 183 yards (3.3 YPC) with zero touchdowns. He also secured seven of 11 targets for 22 yards and fumbled three times, losing two. The hybrid fullback/running back is a capable blocker in pass protection and can contribute on special teams, so he figures to draw interest as a practice squad candidate around the league.

Early impact as rookie Steele rushed 56 times for 183 yards and hauled in seven of his 11 targets for 26 yards during the 2025 regular season.

Impact Steele was immediately asked to contribute as a rookie, including a 17-cary effort against the Falcons in Week 3. However, his contributions waned as the season wore on following the return of Isiah Pacheco from a ribs injury and the addition of Kareem Hunt as a mid-season free-agent signing. Hunt and Samaje Perine were on one-year deals with the Chiefs, making the pair free agents ahead of the 2025 campaign. Even so, the front office will presumably add another couple of backs to the room during the offseason via free agency or the draft. Steele will likely need to earn his way up the depth chart behind Pacheco heading into next year.

Picks up 27 yards in Week 18 Steele rushed the ball eight times for 25 yards in Sunday's 38-0 loss to the Broncos. He added two receptions on two targets for two yards.

Impact The Chiefs sat Isiah Pacheco (coach's decision) while Samaje Perine drew only two touches, leaving most of the work out of the backfield to Steele. That didn't amount to much with all of Kansas City's top skill-position players sitting, as the team netted only 98 yards on offense while running just 33 plays. Steele has played primarily on special teams since Week 4, and that will almost certainly be his role throughout the team's postseason run.

Set for extended look Week 18 Steele will receive "extra work" Sunday against Denver, though the specifics of his role aren't yet clear, Pete Sweeney of ArrowheadPride.com reports.

Impact The Chiefs will be resting most of their starters with the No. 1 playoff seed in the AFC wrapped up. Isiah Pacheco almost certainly won't play since he's dealing with a rib injury, while Kareem Hunt -- who has been co-leading the backfield with Pacheco of late -- probably will see limited, if any, work as well. That would leave most of the running-back duties against the Broncos to Steele and Samaje Perine.

Notches pair of touches versus Cats Steele accrued one carry for four yards and reeled in one of two targets for nine yards during Sunday's 30-27 win versus the Panthers.

Impact Steele totaled just 11 snaps in Sunday's contest, though that marks a very minor uptick from the eight he saw a week ago. He has two touches to his name in each of the last two weeks, and his work figures to trail off even more with Isaiah Pacheo's (ankle) return from injured reserve looming. Steele can safely be left on the waiver wire in the majority of fantasy formats.

Two touches versus Bills Steele recorded one rush for two yards and gathered in his only target for five yards during Sunday's 30-21 loss versus the Bills.

Impact Steele saw the field on just eight offensive plays versus the Bills, so his two touches during the contest shouldn't come as a surprise. The undrafted rookie's fantasy future looks even bleaker when factoring in the anticipated return of Isaiah Pacheco (ankle) from injured reserve in Week 12. If everything goes as expected, Steele and Samaje Perine will likely be duking it out for spare reps behind Pacheco and Kareem Hunt going forward.

NOVEMBER 19, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Minimal impact in Week 10 Steele tallied two carries for three yards during Sunday's 16-14 victory against the Broncos.

Impact Steele logged only 13 offensive snaps in the contest, still trailing Kareem Hunt (44) by a sizable margin and sitting three behind Samaje Perine as well. The rookie back has carried the ball a combined seven times over the last three weeks. With Isiah Pacheco's (lower leg) return from injured reserve on the horizon, there's little to like about Steele's fantasy prospects moving forward.

Usage stays low in Week 9 Steele rushed three times for nine yards in Monday's 30-24 overtime win versus the Buccaneers.

Impact Steele recorded less than a 20 percent snap share for the fifth straight game, as he has had little impact since his impressive Week 3 showing versus the Falcons. RBs Kareem Hunt and Samaje Perine are both running ahead of Steele. The rookie likely won't play much as long as the veterans are healthy.

Minimally involved versus Raiders Steele accrued two rushes for six yards and hauled in his only target for eight yards during Sunday's 27-20 victory over the Raiders.

Impact Steele did record more touches than Samje Perine (two) in the contest, but he also played just eight offensive snaps to Perine's 22 and Kareem Hunt's 42. Thus, it's unlikely Steele will find himself in a fantasy-relevant spot in the near future, especially with the return of Isaiah Pacheco potentially on the horizon, given Pacheco's initial 6-to-8-week timetable when he went down in mid-September.
