Player Notes
December 30, 2007
Kolby Smith exited Sunday's game in the first quarter with an ankle injury and didn't return. Undrafted rookie Jackie Battle took over in the backfield and gained 44 yards on 13 carries. Smith put out a nice effort in Week 12 against a horrid Raiders run D but otherwise had a pretty ho-hum rookie campaign. He could find himself in a starting role next year if the Chiefs attempt to trade Larry Johnson over the offseason.

Kolby Smith will pick up another start in Week 16 at Detroit, as the Chiefs have ruled out Larry Johnson (foot) once again. Smith takes aim at a Detroit front seven that's allowed 4.2 yards a carry and 17 touchdowns this year.

Kolby Smith (knee) was limited in practice on Wednesday, but he is not worried about his status for the weekend. “I’ll be ready to go on Sunday,” he tells the Kansas City Star. “However many times they want to give it to me, I’ll take it." Gilbert Harris and Jackie Battle are his backups.

Kolby Smith is dealing with a sore knee, but head coach Herm Edwards thinks the rookie will play this week. "[Smith’s] questionable. We’ll see how he feels tomorrow but he should be good to go. We’ll just bring him along slow," Edwards tells the team's official web site. The Chiefs would need to turn to either Gilbert Harris or Jackie Battle if Smith were out this Sunday.

Kolby Smith picked up the slack Sunday for the Larry Johnson and Priest Holmes-less Chiefs, as the rookie ran for 150 yards and two TDs on 31 carries in his first career start. Johnson could be back next week, but Smith is definitely worth owning now regardless. This performance was against the Raiders, but Smith's showing is impressive nonetheless.

Kolby Smith may have to start against Oakland this week, with Larry Johnson ruled out and Priest Holmes (neck) in limbo. The Raiders rushing defense might be the worst in the league, so see if Smith is still on your league's free-agent wire.

Kolby Smith has earned praise early in training camp. “This guy is going to be a really good football player," head coach Herm Edwards tells the Kansas City Star. Chuck Cook, the Chiefs’ director of college scouting, adds, "He obviously knows how to run the ball. But he’ll also catch everything you throw at him. He can pass (protect) pretty well, he’s smart... I’m telling you, he’s got Priest Holmes-like intangibles. Nothing that’s going on out here is too big for him."
