Overview
- Kansas City signed linebacker Aiden Fisher to its practice squad on October 20 after he cleared waivers following his release by the Houston Texans.
- The Texans waived Fisher to make room for returning veterans and chose not to re-sign him to their own practice squad before he became available to other teams.
- Fisher was a seventh-round pick in the 2026 NFL Draft and has appeared in three NFL games this season, logging 38 special-teams snaps and one tackle.
- Fisher brings strong college credentials, including two first-team All-American selections and a College Football Playoff championship with Indiana, which scouts say give him starter potential with development.
- The signing follows Kansas City’s recent linebacker moves, including waiving Cam Jones and opening Cooper McDonald’s 21-day return window, and Fisher’s elevation to the 53-man roster would likely hinge on injuries or further roster changes.
