Chiefs activate Kolby Smith

By ADAM TEICHER

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. | To no one’s surprise, the Chiefs activated running back Kolby Smith off an injured list. Smith will play in Sunday’s game against the Jaguars.

To make roster room, the Chiefs released wide receiver Bobby Engram.

Smith hasn’t played in a game since injuring his knee in a November game last year against Tampa Bay. But he could play a key role in tomorrow’s game.

The Chiefs will play for the first time this season without Larry Johnson, who is suspended. Jamaal Charles will also get work at running back and Dantrell Savage could also play.

Engram was one of the Chiefs’ major offseason offensive acquisitions, but the 36-year-old wide receiver never had much of an impact. He caught five passes for 61 yards. Engram’s playing time has diminished in recent games and no longer had a playing role after recent acquisitions of Chris Chambers and Lance Long.

No reason to rush him back this season just to get him killed.

IR him and tell him to start warming up for 2010.

[Coogs]

Activate.

Plenty of other guys that can be released and not missed at all.

We have no idea where he is at physically, so are not qualified to even to begin to guess what his status should be.

He, and the team, may well best be served by IRing for the remainder of the season, but people rehab at different paces, and he may well be ready.

I'll let people (who should be) in the know make that decsion.

Activate him so we have another option other than Larry...

I guess I was basing my choice on the assumption he is ready to go injury wise.

[LaChapelle]

I hope Kolby is a rehab whiz.

No news yet?

I'd say since it's 3 pm on Saturday....it might not look good. But I do hope they activate him.

CHIEFS ACTIVATE RB KOLBY SMITH FROM PUP
November 7th – 5:00 PM EST

As anticipated, RB Kolby Smith traveled with the Chiefs to Jacksonville and has officially been activated to the club’s 53-man roster. WR Bobby Engram was released to make room for Smith on the active roster.

Smith last played in an NFL game on November 2, 2008 vs. Tampa Bay. He left that contest with a serious knee injury while filling in for a suspended Larry Johnson. He recently completed an extensive rehabilitation process, earning medical clearance from team doctors. Smith joins Jamaal Charles and Dantrell Savage in the Chiefs backfield for Sunday’s game. Although Smith anticipates seeing game action tomorrow, Charles is expected to start at running back.

Engram served as a veteran leader amongst Kansas City’s wide receivers core, but had been a healthy inactive in two of the past three games. Engram’s departure opens the door for Lance Long to receive more playing time as Kansas City’s slot receiver. The arrival of Chris Chambers earlier this week gave the Chiefs eight rostered receivers, the most they had carried under head coach Todd Haley.

I'll admit that I'm looking forward to seeing what he can do...

I'm so glad we signed Bobby Engram during the offseason.

He was clearly a huge addition to this team.

[BossChief]

Heres to Chambers and Kolby giving us something to cheer about tomorrow.:BLVD::BLVD::BLVD:

[Huffman83]

If/when healthy the guy has been able to do a great job as a #2 back. Even behind the shitty OL play KC has had the past 2 years!

Hey, don't knock all that veteran leadership.

:rolleyes:

[Hydrae]

Ironic that his last game was in place of a suspended LJ.

The Deal Is Done!
