The Kansas City Chiefs announced the injury status of wide receiver Rashee Rice and offensive lineman Trey Smith for the Thanksgiving Day game against the Dallas Cowboys. In the Chiefs’ Wednesday injury/practice report, Rice (hamstring) was listed as a full participant and will play on Thursday. Smith (ankle) did not practice on Wednesday and is ruled out.
Trey Smith, tight end Noah Gray (concussion), and cornerback Chris Roland-Wallace (back) are the three players the Chiefs ruled out for the Thanksgiving Day game. Rashee Rice was a limited participant in practice on Monday, but he was listed as a full participant for the last two days.
The Chiefs will need to be as healthy as possible during the final stretch of the season because they are in playoff mode. If the postseason were to start today, Kansas City would not qualify to make a run at the Super Bowl.
