The Chiefs updated the status on several key players on Monday. Alex Smith is expected to be back at quarterback when the Chiefs play Carolina Sunday. The expectation is that OLB Justin Houston will be activated by the Wednesday deadline. A roster move was made Monday evening to waive CB Terrance Mitchell. That may be the vacancy set to be filled by Houston.
Running back Spencer Ware remains in the concussion protocol but could be cleared this week. His return will be critical against the Panthers.
