Donovan Smith News
Kansas City Chiefs left tackle Donovan Smith (neck) suffered a neck injury in the Week 13 loss to the Green Bay Packers. He has not been able to suit up since, but head coach Andy Reid said he could be available on Saturday against the Miami Dolphins. Barring any setbacks, the Chiefs will get back Patrick Mahomes' blindside protector. With Miami suffering a ton of injuries to edge rushers in recent weeks, Smith could face easy matchups and ease back into full-speed reps. Smith has over 130 NFL starts to his name, so he could provide a significant boost as the Chiefs look to get back to the Super Bowl.
Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid confirmed on Monday that offensive tackle Donovan Smith will head into offseason workouts as the team's starting left tackle. "He's been a left tackle at a high level. He's a good player. He'll be with the left side with the ones. Jawaan Taylor will move over to the right," Reid said. This was the expectation when the Chiefs signed Smith to a one-year, $9 million contract last Wednesday. Smith will have a pretty important job, protecting All-Pro quarterback Patrick Mahomes' blind side in his first year in Kansas City in 2023.
Veteran free-agent offensive tackle Donovan Smith signed with the Kansas City Chiefs on Wednesday on a one-year deal worth up to $9 million, according to a source. Smith is now expected to play left tackle and protect quarterback Patrick Mahomes' blind side in 2023, with Jawaan Taylor likely to move over to the right side of the offensive line. The 29-year-old Smith was originally a second-round pick by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2015, and he spent the first eight years of his NFL career playing for the Bucs before signing with the Chiefs. He has started a total of 124 games in his career, although he only played in 13 games in 2022 due to elbow and foot injuries. Smith was pivotal for Tampa's offense when they won the Super Bowl over the Chiefs in the 2020 season.
