He brings no value to the Bengals but he did to the Chiefs.
Its an attempted hit at the Chiefs special teams. Chiefs expected him to clear waivers, resign to practice squad, and hed be back in his normal role by Sunday. Now someone else will fill that role.
Waiving Lammons created a vacancy on the 53-man active roster, which could be used to activate Fortson or Edwards-Helaire for the conference title game against Cincinnati.
The move didn’t necessarily end Lammons’ chance to suit up Sunday for Kansas City, which is hosting a fifth straight AFC Championship Game at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium.
Had Lammons cleared waivers, Kansas City could have brought him back on the practice squad and used the standard-elevation roster mechanism to keep him active for “The Arrowhead Invitational.”
Lammons leads the Chiefs with 322 special teams snaps this season.
That’s no longer possible after the Bengals’ maneuver, which may not be popular at 1 Arrowhead Drive.
