News

  • Phased out of offense

    Smith returned one kickoff for 33 yards during the Chiefs' 31-28 loss to the Cowboys on Thursday.

    Analysis: Smith played just five snaps and didn't see a touch on offense following Isiah Pacheco's return from a three-game absence due to a knee injury. Smith figures to see seldom use on offense in games for which Pacheco and Kareem Hunt are both active, though Smith should continue to see work on kickoffs as a returner.

  • Makes impact as receiver

    Smith tallied one rush for five yards and hauled in three of four targets for 31 yards during Sunday's 23-20 overtime win against the Colts.

    Analysis: Smith remains a pass-catching option out of the backfield, akin to Jerick McKinnon in previous seasons, but he doesn't quite sport the same kind of upside just yet. Smith has made an impact as a receiver through 11 games, notching 19 grabs for 161 yards. However, he's averaged just 3.0 yards per carry on his 29 totes and firmly remains third in the backfield pecking order behind Isiah Pacheco and Kareem Hunt. As long as that duo remains healthy, Smith figures to remain a periphery piece for the…read more

  • Limited role against Broncos

    Smith caught two of three targets for eight yards and failed to record a single rushing attempt in Sunday's 22-19 loss to the Broncos.

    Analysis: Smith continued his role as the de facto No. 2 running back in Week 11 with Isiah Pacheco (knee) sidelined, but he was not a major part of the Chiefs' offensive plans in the contest. The rookie played 12 of Kansas City's 70 offensive snaps, while teammate Kareem Hunt dominated the backfield snap share with 56 snaps. Week 11 marked just the third time this season that Smith did not handle a single carry. Despite the Chiefs praising the SMU product for his playmaking ability earlier in the…read more

  • Limited to three carries Sunday

    Smith rushed three times for seven yards and was not targeted as a receiver in Sunday's 28-21 loss to the Bills.

    Analysis: Smith failed to capitalize on the absence of Isiah Pacheco (knee), finishing the loss with just three total touches. Kareem Hunt (11-49-1) finished as Kansas City's only fantasy-relevant back Sunday. With a bye week upcoming, Smith could find himself back in the No. 3 spot on the depth chart if Pacheco is ready to return for a Nov. 16 matchup against the Broncos.

  • Uptick in usage imminent

    Smith is poised for more work Sunday at Buffalo with Isiah Pacheco (knee) ruled out for that contest, Pete Sweeney of The Kansas City Star reports.

    Analysis: Pacheco wasn't able to practice this week due to the right MCL sprain that he sustained during Monday's win against the Commanders. Kareem Hunt is the obvious player to help fill the void in Pacheco's absence, but Smith also should benefit in what has been mostly a two-pronged Chiefs backfield this season. While Smith hasn't been very productive on the ground through the first eight games of his career (25 carries for 75 yards), the rookie seventh-round pick has hauled in 14 of 18 targets for…read more

  • Trio of carries Monday night

    Smith accrued three rushes for eight yards during Monday's 28-7 win against the Commanders.

    Analysis: Smith remains a depth back for the Chiefs, but his lack of involvement as a receiver out of the backfield is a bit disappointing. Monday's effort marks the first time since Week 1 that Smith wasn't targeted and the first time since Week 3 that he didn't record a reception. The rookie back played just nine offensive snaps Monday but could see a bit more run should Isiah Pacheco's MCL injury cost him some time.

  • Gets involved in blowout

    Smith carried 14 times for 39 yards and hauled in all five targets for 42 yards during Sunday's 31-0 win against the Raiders.

    Analysis: Smith logged more than four totes for the first time in his career Sunday, and he didn't really prove he's worthy of more, averaging just 2.8 yards per carry. The increased workload was likely a direct result of the contest turning into a laugher relatively early; the Chiefs took a 21-0 lead into halftime and led 31-0 after the third quarter. Isiah Pacheco and Kareem Hunt remain squarely ahead of Smith in the pecking order, but Smith's receiving skills have allowed him to carve out a role in…read more

  • Recovered from illness

    Smith (illness) was a full participant in practice Thursday.

    Analysis: Smith didn't practice Wednesday due to an illness but was back at full speed the following day. He's a distant third option in Kansas City's backfield behind Isiah Pacheco and Kareem Hunt, contributing primarily as a pass catcher in the few snaps Smith sees. That role is unlikely to change Sunday against the Raiders.

  • Misses practice due to illness

    Chiefs coach Andy Reid said Smith (illness) will not practice Wednesday, Matt McMullen of the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: Smith didn't record a rush attempt during Kansas City's win over the Lions in Week 6, though he did secure three of four targets for 21 yards. The rookie seventh-round pick has played exactly six offensive snaps in back-to-back games. Smith will still have two more opportunities to get back on the practice field ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Raiders, though if he were to miss any time it would likely pave the way for Elijah Mitchell to make his regular-season debut as a reserve…read more

  • Nabs three passes

    Smith didn't record a carry but reeled in three of his four targets for 21 yards during Sunday's 30-17 victory versus Detroit.

    Analysis: Smith claimed just six total offensive snaps in this contest and has totaled double-digit offensive snaps just once all season. He remains a reliable weapon as a receiver out of the backfield, handling three catches in each of the last three tilts, but he failed to register a carry Sunday for the first time since the season opener versus the Chargers. Smith converted from wide receiver to running back late in his career at SMU, so it shouldn't be shocking that he excels in the receiving…read more

  • Four touches against Jaguars

    Smith carried the ball once for four yards and caught all three of his targets for 32 yards in Monday's 31-28 loss to the Jaguars.

    Analysis: Smith played just six of the Chiefs 64 offensive snaps Monday, behind both Isiah Pacheco (40) and Kareem Hunt (21). The coaching staff has made an effort to give the rookie more opportunities, though his minimal playing time is limiting his ability to truly make a difference on the stat sheet. It is encouraging, however, that Smith saw four touches in his six snaps, showing that the coaching staff is making an effort to get him involved. The SMU product's playmaking ability and pass-catching…read more

  • Displays versatility in Week 4

    Smith accrued four rushes for nine yards and reeled in three of four targets for 27 yards during Sunday's 37-20 win against Baltimore.

    Analysis: Smith's 19 offensive snaps represent the most he's seen through four games as a rookie, though the blowout nature of the contest certainly played a hand in Smith's increased workload. Three of Smith's four carries occurred in the fourth quarter of Sunday's tilt with the game well in hand. However, the rookie back also logged three catches on four targets. All of those targets came in the first half, suggesting the wideout-turned-running back from SMU may claim a slightly larger role on…read more

  • Handles two carries against Giants

    Smith rushed twice for 13 yards and failed to reel in his lone target in Sunday's 22-9 win over the Giants.

    Analysis: Smith played just eight of the Chiefs' 72 offensive snaps, well behind both Isiah Pacheco (40) and Kareem Hunt (32). The rookie running back continues to be mostly an afterthought in Kansas City's struggling offense, however the struggles of both Pacheco and Hunt could eventually lead to more playing time for the dynamic SMU product. At the moment, however, it appears the Chiefs coaching staff wants the veterans to handle the majority of the backfield work with a near even split, capping the…read more

  • Tallies first career carry

    Smith accrued one rush for two yards and failed to gather his lone target during Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Eagles.

    Analysis: Smith is a clear No. 3 on the depth chart for the Chiefs at running back, with Isiah Pacheco tallying 35 offensive snaps and Kareem Hunt logging 24 -- Smith saw the field for only five. Still, that puts him ahead of Elijah Mitchell in the pecking order should an opportunity present itself in the future. Until then, Smith will likely serve primarily as a returner on special teams with the potential for a touch or two on offense each game.

  • Contributes in return game

    Smith returned two kickoffs for 63 yards during Kansas City's 27-21 loss to the Chargers on Friday night.

    Analysis: Smith impressed in the return game Week 1, but the rookie seventh-round pick wasn't called upon to handle any actual carries, and he played just eight percent of offensive snaps. Still, it's encouraging to Smith's prospects that Elijah Mitchell was a healthy scratch Friday. Smith figures to operate as the No. 3 running back behind Isiah Pacheco and Kareem Hunt again in Week 2 against the Eagles.

  • Performs well with five touches

    Smith had three carries for 22 yards and two receptions for 16 yards on as many targets in Friday's 33-16 preseason loss to Seattle.

    Analysis: Smith was the first back to receive a carry after Isiah Pacheco and Carson Steele departed with the first-string offense. The 22-year-old Smith experienced improved results over his first preseason outing, as he appears to be completely over the finger injury sustained in practice last week. Smith will attempt to build off of this performance as he claws for a roster spot in the preseason finale against Chicago next Friday.

  • Five touches to open preseason

    Smith (finger) rushed four times for 10 yards and brought in his only target for minus-6 yards in the Chiefs' 20-17 preseason loss to the Cardinals on Saturday night.

    Analysis: The rookie seventh-round pick has an uphill battle for a roster spot, but considering his 1,332-yard season at SMU last season, there's some intriguing potential. Smith led the Chiefs in carries on a night where a total of seven non-quarterbacks logged at least one rush attempt. Smith will continue his quest to make an impression during the Chiefs' second preseason game, which comes Friday night on the road against the Seahawks.

  • Exits practice early

    Smith left Thursday's practice early after sustaining a finger injury, Matt McMullen of the Chiefs' official site reports.

    Analysis: The severity of Smith's finger issue may not become known ahead of Saturday's preseason opener against the Cardinals, but for now consider the rookie running back day-to-day ahead of the contest.

  • Mixing in with starters a bit

    Kansas City's first-team offense featured a "sprinkling" of Smith on Thursday, according to Matt Derrick of ChiefsDigest.com.

    Analysis: Derrick notes that Isiah Pacheco, Kareem Hunt and Elijah Mitchell got more first-team reps, which shouldn't be surprising given that all three have experience as NFL starters. Smith is merely a rookie seventh-round pick, but he's probably the most natural pass catcher of the bunch and isn't far behind Pacheco in terms of pure speed (4.39 40 at the 2025 Combine). While he may have been disappointed with lasting until the final round of the draft, Smith now has a chance to compete for touches…read more
