Kansas City Chiefs release veteran defensive end Emmanuel Ogbah
Summary

The Kansas City Chiefs are waiving veteran defensive lineman Emmanuel Ogbah as part of the team's mandatory roster cuts. The move follows the team's preseason finale against the Seattle Seahawks. Ogbah, 32, returned to the franchise on a one-year deal this year, aiming to secure a spot on the 2026 roster. His previous stint with the team occurred in 2019, though injuries limited his availability during that season. Throughout his career, Ogbah has recorded 48 sacks across 136 games and has played for the Cleveland Browns, Miami Dolphins, and Jacksonville Jaguars. The transaction comes as NFL teams across the league trim their rosters to meet regular-season requirements.
