The Kansas City Chiefs are keeping an essential part of their special teams unit intact ahead of the 2026 season.
According to his representation, Equity Sports, the Chiefs have agreed to terms on re-signing wide receiver and kick returner Nikko Remigio.
Chiefs special teams coordinator Dave Toub praised the progress of Remigio last season and his impact on the unit.

“Nikko (Remigio) is just solid. He is a solid and really good blocker,” said Toub during a press conference last season, “He’s going to get the yards that’s blocked up, and I’m happy having him back there at least as one of the guys.”
During his Chiefs career, the former Fresno State standout has appeared on 70 offensive snaps and 147 on special teams in 19 games and one start. He battled for an opportunity on the active roster since entering the league as an undrafted free agent, floating between the practice squad.
Remigio played 14 games last season. He finished 2025 with 741 yards on 29 kick returns and 191 yards on 25 punt returns.
