Smith (ankle) won't practice Wednesday, Matt McMullen of the Chiefs' official site reports.
The Tennessee product was sidelined for Kansas City's Week 13 loss to the Cowboys after sustaining high and low ankle sprains the game prior, and Wednesday's DNP suggests he's still dealing with the issue. Smith likely needs to upgrade to at least limited practice Thursday or Friday in order to play in Sunday night's matchup against the Texans.

Chiefs' Trey Smith: Assigned franchise tag
Rotowire
The Chiefs assigned the non-exclusive franchise tag to Smith on Friday.
Smith will be on the books for $23.402 million in 2025 unless the two sides are able to come to terms on a long-term extension before July's deadline. By placing the franchise tag on Smith, it keeps him away from free agency and buys the Chiefs more time to try and work out a potential multi-year deal. Smith turns 26 years old in June and has missed just one start since entering the league. He was a member of the 2021 All-Rookie team and was selected to his first Pro Bowl this past season.

Rotowire
Smith won't practice Wednesday due to an illness, Nate Taylor of The Athletic reports.
Smith still has a few more days before Sunday's AFC Championship Game matchup with the Ravens to get healthy, but his absence to begin the week of practice will make his status worth monitoring leading up to the contest. Though Smith is tentatively expected to be ready to handle his usual starting duties at right guard Sunday, the Chiefs are likely to be without left guard Joe Thuney, who is tending to a pectoral injury. Nick Allegretti is the most likely candidate to step in for Thuney.
