The door looked open for Fabien Lovett. At this point, however, as the NFL roster cut deadline draws near, it appears to be closed.
Lovett, who is a second-year defensive tackle for the Kansas City Chiefs, came into the league as a run-stuffing interior lineman hoping to latch onto a team after going undrafted. The Florida State product was projected as a late-round choice, but ultimately, the Chiefs benefitted from his draft fall and got him to sign as a rookie free agent.
After the recent trade to bring back Derrick Nnadi to Kansas City, however, it's hard to say that Lovett is going to fare any better in 2025 than he did in 2024.
