Louis Rees-Zammit Left Out, Jaguars Deal Close

Former Welsh rugby star Louis Rees-Zammit has not been selected for the Kansas City Chiefs' 53-man roster for the 2024 NFL season. Rees-Zammit, who transitioned to American football earlier this year via the NFL's International Player Pathway (IPP), has been training with the Chiefs and played in all three preseason games. Despite his efforts, he will continue with the Chiefs as part of their practice squad, which allows for potential future promotion to the active roster. Reports indicate that Rees-Zammit is also close to finalizing a deal with the Jacksonville Jaguars, though it's unclear if this will be for the active roster or practice squad. Throughout his NFL journey, Rees-Zammit has been adapting to various positions, including running back and special teams roles, as he seeks to find his niche in the sport. His transition remains a developing story, with opportunities still open for him to continue pursuing his NFL dreams.
