The Welshman was waived on Tuesday by the Chiefs, who already have an international player on their practice squad.
FORMER WALES RUGBY star Louis Rees-Zammit will continue his NFL journey with the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Rees-Zammit, who had scored 14 tries in 32 tests for Wales and also featured for the Lions on their 2021 tour of South Africa, went on to sign with the Super Bowl-winning Kansas City Chiefs in March. Similarly to Smyth and McAtamney, no franchise took the risk of handing a valuable roster slot to a player of Rees-Zammit’s inexperience, and so the former rugby wing fell back to the Chiefs who had first preference on adding him to their practice squad.
The Super Bowl champions opted to retain Godrick, meaning Rees-Zammit was squeezed out and became an unrestricted free agent.
