KOLBY SMITH RETURNS TO PRACTICE
October 21st – 12:40 PM
There were two new faces at practice today in DTs Kenny Smith (#90) and Marlon Favorite (#93), but the biggest arrival at practice is a Chief entering his third NFL season. RB Kolby Smith practiced today for the first time since injuring his knee nearly a year ago vs. Tampa Bay.
Smith had previously been on the reserve PUP list and the team now has three weeks, starting today, to monitor Smith’s progress in practice. Kansas City can activate Smith at any time over the next three weeks, but three weeks from today is the deadline to make a decision to either activate Smith or place him on injured reserve and effectively end his season.
Once again, T Branden Albert missed practice with his ankle injury, while S Jarrad Page (shoulder) returned to work. G Mike Goff was also missed practice today, although he was not in the rehab area where most injured players reside.
