Smith faces uncertain role in revamped Chiefs backfield after position switch.

Smith, a former wide receiver turned running back, has the most to lose during 2026 training camp. He was the only holdover in a running back room that has been transformed under new coaches DeMarco Murray and Eric Bieniemy. The source notes that Smith was tasked with adding strength this offseason, and the question remains whether the coaching staff envisions him as a running back with a defined role or a tweener stuck between a murky receiver competition and a fierce backfield battle.
