EJ Smith Released After Injury | Kansas City Chiefs News

Undrafted rookie EJ Smith, son of NFL legend Emmitt Smith, was released by the Kansas City Chiefs with an injury settlement — opening the door for him to sign elsewhere. Though he showed promise in preseason play before his injury, Smith’s path to the NFL has been marked by setbacks, including a season-ending injury during his junior year at Stanford and limited production at Texas A&M. He acknowledged the challenges but expressed gratitude for the opportunity, determined to build his own legacy without relying on his famous name. This move is part of a broader roster shakeup, as two other players — Chris Oladokun and CJ Hanson — were also released with injury settlements.
