Smith (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Raiders, Charles Goldman of AtoZSports.com reports. Smith was unable to practice all week due to an ankle injury and will not suit up for Sunday's AFC West tilt, and he'll end the year having started in 12 regular-season games. Mike Caliendo figures to start at right guard in Smith's absence.
Smith (ankle) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice. Smith missed Kansas City's last three games due to an ankle sprain, but it appears he's back to full health and ready for Sunday's road matchup against the Titans. With Patrick Mahomes (ACL) done for the year, Smith will work to keep Gardner Minshew upright as he returns to his usual starting role at right guard.
Smith (ankle) is officially listed as out for Sunday's game versus the Chargers, Matt McMullen of the Chiefs' official site reports. It looked like Smith would be able to return to game action in Week 15 when he managed a full practice Wednesday, but he subsequently downgraded to limited participation Thursday and then missed practice entirely Friday. Per Charles Goldman of AtoZSports.com, coach Andy Reid said Friday, "I don't think he's quite there." Now he'll miss his third straight game as he continues to recover from an ankle sprain, and Mike Caliendo projects to make another start at right guard in his stead.
