Signed to Kansas City's practice squad The Chiefs signed Ott to the practice squad Monday.

Impact Ott joined the Chiefs on May 1 as an undrafted free agent and played in all three of the team's preseason games. He was waived Sunday after failing to crack the 53-man roster, but Ott will stay in Kansas City on the practice squad. The Oklahoma product would be a top candidate for elevation to the active roster if the Chiefs required additional depth in the backfield.

Headed to Kansas City The Chiefs signed Ott as an undrafted free agent Friday.

Impact Ott played three years at California before transferring to Oklahoma for his senior season. The running back suffered a shoulder issue entering the 2025 season that ensured he only saw meaningful snaps in two games. The Chiefs are likely taking a flyer on Ott due to his 2023 season at California, where he rushed 245 times for 1,305 yards and 12 touchdowns. He also caught 26 passes for 321 yards and three touchdowns during the campaign. Ott's standout sophomore campaign shows that if he can stay healthy and disciplined, he has a shot to be a meaningful producer at the NFL level.
