KC Chiefs News: OTAs And Alex Smith

KC Chiefs news this morning focuses on what is happening during the second round of voluntary OTAs. As always, Alex Smith is also a hot topic.

Right now OTAs are dominating Chiefs talk, and after the first session in late May, there were still many questions.

Eric Fisher was practicing with the second team, Justin Houston is still a no-show and everyone escaped major injury.

Of course, it was only a matter of time before it happened to someone. ESPN’s Adam Teicher reported that defensive lineman Dontari Poe left practice Wednesday with back spasms.

Receiver Albert Wilson also had a hamstring injury while linebacker Derrick Johnson remains out with an injury as well. Teicher said all three are not considered serious.

Another interesting note is a second story from Teicher that says Smith’s coaches are urging him to “look for big plays.” Offensive coordinator Doug Pederson alluded to the fact that Smith will be taking more chances next season.

"“If he misses a down-the-field throw, it’s my job and it’s our job to show him on tape exactly what he’s looking at in order to see that throw,” Pederson said."

"Every year there are a couple of relatively unknown players that are able to step up and make an NFL team’s roster. Undrafted free agents, futures contracts, practice squad veterans, Canadian Football League stars, and even the odd crossover from another sport. There is always someone who comes out and surprises everyone, and the Chiefs have had their share."
