12 Chiefs Who Will Be Cut By Tuesday's Roster Deadline

2. Emani Bailey, RB

Emani Bailey entered training camp with a legitimate chance to earn the third running back role. Similar to Deneric Prince though, Carson Steele's steady rise has left Bailey without a place on the roster.

A dynamic workhorse running back from TCU, Bailey had 1,393 yards from scrimmage with nine TDs during his final collegiate season. Despite his small five-foot-eight stature, he's a solid pass blocker who displays impressive agility and keen vision.

If Prince is indeed cut, he'll be ahead of Bailey on the Chiefs' practice squad priority list. Kansas City kept multiple backs on the practice squad in 2023, so Bailey still has the opportunity to stick around if he's impressed the coaching staff enough.

It seems more likely that Louis Rees-Zammit would earn a practice squad spot ahead of Bailey given the former's sky-high potential. Bailey had six carries for 23 yards, including an 11-yard scamper, against the Bears in what was his best preseason game.

Perhaps another organization will place Bailey on their practice squad, though it seems his days with the Chiefs will be limited to this summer.
