KC Chiefs re-sign defensive Azur Kamara to practice squad

The Kansas City Chiefs have brought back a familiar face in defensive end Azur Kamara on Tuesday.
While it wasn’t the move that many fans were hoping to see, the Kansas City Chiefs did make a move at defensive end on Tuesday. The team officially decided to bring back Azur Kamara, a familiar face from the preseason, as they added him to their practice squad.
Kamara originally signed with the Chiefs at the beginning of training camp and the late timing always made him a longshot to make the team. However, he looked impressive in what limited reps he earned in preseason games and the Chiefs ended up bringing him back after waiving him when roster cuts were due in late August. He occupied a space on the team’s practice squad until early September when he was released outright.
The Dallas Cowboys first served as Kamara’s portal into the NFL when he was signed as a rookie free agent who ended up sticking around on the team’s injured reserve list for his first season in the NFL. He stayed with the Cowboys for another year and ended up making the active roster for most of the year in ’21 and played on special teams in 9 overall. Near the end of the year, he was waived and the Carolina Panthers claimed him for a short stint.
Two weeks ago, the Denver Broncos ended up giving Kamara a tryout among several other players but nothing came of it in terms of a contract.
