Kolby Smith, RB, Kansas City ChiefsNews | Statistics | Player vs. Team | Utilization | Depth Chart
Chiefs | K. Smith activated from PUP list Sat, 07 Nov 2009 14:45:39 -0800 The Kansas City Chiefs have announced they have activated RB Kolby Smith (knee) from the Physically Unable to Perform list.
Chiefs | Smith unlikely to get many carries Thu, 05 Nov 2009 07:28:44 -0800 Kent Babb, of The Kansas City Star, reports Kansas City Chiefs RB Kolby Smith (knee) likely will not get many carries in Week 9.
Chiefs | Charles has opportunity to be featured running back in Week 9 Wed, 04 Nov 2009 09:42:43 -0800 Adam Teicher, of The Kansas City Star, reports Week 9 will provide the Kansas City Chiefs with an opportunity to get a good look at RB Jamaal Charles as their featured back due to the suspension of RB Larry Johnson. "I think this is an opportunity for Jamaal," head coach Todd Haley said, "without a doubt." Charles makes more sense as a featured back in Week 9 over RB Kolby Smith (knee) because Smith hasn't played since injuring a knee midway through last season. However, Charles has only 23 carries in seven games this season, and most have been draws and other runs out of passing formations. Charles also has had fumbling issues.

Smith for Week 9 Wed, 04 Nov 2009 07:09:06 -0800 Adam Teicher, of The Kansas City Star, reports Kansas City Chiefs head coach Todd Haley stopped short of saying the team would activate RB Kolby Smith (knee) for Week 9, but he did indicate it was likely. "I'm optimistic about having the opportunity to see him play," Haley said of Smith.

Smith said, "My leg was in a cast for six weeks straight. Then I had to learn how to bend it and lift it again. It was a whole bunch of stuff." Smith said he went through his first hit last week. He added, "It was instant. Right there all of the jitters went out of my and I'm good now. I am very confident in my body."
Chiefs | Ko. Smith practicing with the team Wed, 28 Oct 2009 17:11:24 -0700 Josh Looney, of KCChiefs.com, reports Kansas City Chiefs RB Kolby Smith (knee) is now practicing with the team. He has not officially been activated, and that move could come at any moment over the next two weeks.
Chiefs | Ko. Smith practices Wednesday Wed, 21 Oct 2009 12:02:00 -0700 Adam Teicher, of The Kansas City Star, reports Kansas City Chiefs RB Kolby Smith (knee) participated in practice Wednesday, Oct. 21. He is currently on the Physically Unable to Perform list, and the team has three weeks to decide if he will be added to the active roster.
Chiefs | Smith could come off PUP soon Tue, 13 Oct 2009 00:30:15 -0700 Adam Teicher, of The Kansas City Star, reports Kansas City Chiefs RB Kolby Smith (knee) becomes eligible to return to practice and the active roster next week. He has been on the team's physically unable to perform list the first part of the season. Smith may eventually receive a look at least as a part-time back. Smith said he feels good, but he still needs to go through contact drills to see how his knee responds. "Whenever they say I can play, I'll be out there. I want to make sure I'm right before I come back," Smith noted.

RB Kolby Smith (knee) is eligible to be activated later in October, and Smith could become the team's No. 2 running back ahead of Charles. RB Dantrell Savage is another option to become the primary backup to RB Larry Johnson. Charles could still figure into the team's plans. If the Chiefs don't view him as a regular, then he could still be used as a spot player capable of causing matchup problems for opposing defenses.
