Amie Just of nola.com writes that "police believe" the third man is Lammons:
Two men implicated in an alleged battery that resulted in the arrest of New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara have been arrested in Las Vegas, according to court records, while a warrant remains out for a third man, who police believe to be Kansas City Chiefs cornerback Chris Lammons.
Herbie Teope of The Kansas City Star tweeted that the Chiefs are aware of the report but "have no comment at this time."
Lammons, who saw his largest role with the Chiefs on special teams, is set to become an exclusive-rights free agent this offseason. Appearing in 12 games for the Chiefs in 2021, Lammons played 74% of special teams snaps and 13 total defensive snaps. He was placed on injured reserve in December and did not return.
