Chiefs' Brashard Smith: Placed on injured reserve
The Chiefs placed Smith (hamstring) on injured reserve Saturday.
Smith sustained a hamstring injury in Thursday's practice session and has promptly been transitioned to IR as he manages the issue. Running back Jaydn Ott has been signed to the active roster to be the No. 3 option behind Kenneth Walker and Emmett Johnson while Smith recovers.

Chiefs' Brashard Smith: Won't play due to hamstring injury
Smith (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Seahawks.
Smith popped up on Thursday's practice report as a limited participant due to a hamstring injury. He did not practice Friday, and it appears his injury is severe enough for him to miss his first game of the season. Smith has seen little work offensively, but his absence means Nikko Remigio and Emmett Johnson will handle return duties on kickoffs and punts. Smith's next chance to play is Week 8 against Denver on Sunday, Nov. 1.

Chiefs' Brashard Smith: Not very involved Monday
Smith had zero carries during Monday's 31-10 win versus the Broncos.
Kenneth Walker saw a heavy workload in the win, while rookie Emmett Johnson recorded eight carries as his backup. Smith was a non-factor on offense, logging just three snaps on special teams. The backfield arrangement isn't expected to change while Walker and Johnson are healthy.

Chiefs' Brashard Smith: Beats out Demercado for roster spot
Smith is the third and final running back on the Chiefs' 53-man roster for the 2026 regular season, Matt McMullen of the team's official site reports.
Smith and Emari Demercado entered training camp battling for a depth spot on the Chiefs' active roster, but the former ended up winning that RB3 role behind Kenneth Walker and rookie fifth-rounder Emmett Johnson. Smith, a 2025 seventh-rounder, played in all 17 regular-season games in his rookie campaign, turning 44 carries into 151 yards (3.4 YPC) while catching 25 passes (on 35 targets) for 172 yards and a touchdown. Walker figures to be the bellcow running back for the Chiefs, but Smith could see the field on passing downs to give the former a breather.

Chiefs' Brashard Smith: Listed fourth on initial depth chart
Smith is listed as the No. 4 running back on the unofficial depth chart Kansas City released ahead of the preseason, Pete Grathoff of the Kansas City Star reports.
Smith has his work cut out for him to earn a role on offense, though the pecking order between Emari Demercado, Emmett Johnson and Smith is far from set in stone behind lead back Kenneth Walker. Even if Smith fails to move up the depth chart, he has a decent chance of making the 53-man roster thanks to his contributions on special teams. General manager Brett Veach said that Smith "adds value as a dynamic speed element and his return game as a punt kick returner."

Chiefs' Brashard Smith: Team signs Walker, Demercado at RB
Smith is expected to fill a complementary role alongside Emari Demercado behind Kenneth Walker in Kansas City's new-look backfield, Pete Sweeney of the Kansas City Star reports.
The Chiefs have parted ways with Isiah Pacheco and look unlikely to bring back Kareem Hunt, but Walker's expected to handle the bulk of the rushing workload after signing a three-year contract with the team, leaving Smith and the newly signed Demercado to compete for change-of-pace duties. Smith had 44 carries for 151 yards while adding 25 catches for 172 yards and a touchdown on 35 targets in 2025, showing some promising pass catching skills as a rookie seventh-round pick.

Chiefs' Brashard Smith: Gets chance as lead back
Smith rushed the ball 12 times for 56 yards in Sunday's 14-12 loss to the Raiders. He added two receptions on four targets for two yards.
Smith got the chance to serve as the lead back for the Chiefs due to Isiah Pacheco (rest) being sidelined. Smith led the team with 12 rushing attempts -- his highest mark since Week 7 -- and delivered solid chunk gains of 14, 10 and nine yards. He was not utilized much in his rookie season, but Smith's potential role in 2026 will be worth monitoring, as Kansas City is likely to remake its running back depth chart.
