Moves back to practice squad Smith-Marsette reverted to Kansas City's practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Impact Smith-Marsette was elevated ahead of Sunday's AFC Championship Game, marking his third promotion since joining Kansas City's practice squad Oct. 21. However, unlike his previous two appearances, the 6-foot-1 wideout was ruled inactive pregame along with active-roster pass catcher Justin Watson (illness). Fellow starting wideouts JuJu Smith-Schuster (knee), Kadarius Toney (ankle) and Mecole Hardman (pelvis) all exited at different points during this win versus Cincinnati. Therefore, if Smith-Marsette is elevated again or the Super Bowl on Feb. 12, he could have a better chance to be deemed active in the Chiefs' banged-up receiving corps.

Inked to practice squad by KC The Chiefs signed Smith-Marsette to their practice squad Friday, Matt Derrick of ChiefsDigest.com reports.
Impact Smith-Marsette was waived by the Bears on Tuesday after totaling one catch on four targets for 15 yards through six games. Kansas City unquestionably has a more potent passing attack, but Smith-Marsette isn't likely to ascend far enough up the receiver depth chart to be an impactful fantasy asset, if he's able to make the active roster at all. The Chiefs may see more value in him as a kick returner, as he has both college and NFL experience in that role.

Impact Facing his former team, Smith-Marsette caught a pass in the last two minutes of the game as Chicago tried to tie the game, but on the play, he fumbled the ball away, which sealed the win for the Vikings.
