Kansas City Chiefs sign former Atlanta Falcons running back Nathan Carter

The Kansas City Chiefs signed running back Nathan Carter to their practice squad on Tuesday. Carter, an undrafted free agent from Michigan State, previously spent time on the Atlanta Falcons roster after signing following the 2025 NFL Draft. During his time in Atlanta, Carter appeared in seven games, primarily contributing on special teams while recording nine rushes for 60 yards. He struggled with performance inconsistencies during the 2026 preseason, leading to his departure from the team. The Atlanta Falcons roster composition has drawn attention after the team kept four quarterbacks and only two running backs on the 53-man squad. The team also released veteran running back Tyler Goodson at the final cut deadline. Atlanta prepares for its season opener against the Pittsburgh Steelers in less than two weeks.
