Steele has a spot on Kansas City's initial 53-man roster, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
The 225-pound undrafted rookie was a preseason standout, taking 11 carries for 87 yards and two touchdowns. The team lists him at fullback on its depth chart, and coach Andy Reid mentioned the possibility of using him in that role, but Steele mostly lined up as a lone running back during the preseason. There's potential to earn snaps and touches early on, as Kansas City has a weak group of running backs beyond Isiah Pacheco and could do some shuffling in the coming days to fill the other backup spots.
