Smith (illness) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.
Smith began the Chiefs' week of practice with a DNP due to an illness, but it now seems as if he's moved past the issue after logging a full session Thursday. Now that the 24-year-old is feeling better, he's expected to assume his usual duties as Kansas City's top right guard in the AFC Championship Game.

Chiefs' Trey Smith: Falls ill Wednesday
Rotowire
Smith won't practice Wednesday due to an illness, Nate Taylor of The Athletic reports.
Smith still has a few more days before Sunday's AFC Championship Game matchup with the Ravens to get healthy, but his absence to begin the week of practice will make his status worth monitoring leading up to the contest. Though Smith is tentatively expected to be ready to handle his usual starting duties at right guard Sunday, the Chiefs are likely to be without left guard Joe Thuney, who is tending to a pectoral injury. Nick Allegretti is the most likely candidate to step in for Thuney.

Chiefs' Trey Smith: Suffers injury in game
Rotowire
Smith exited Monday's 20-14 loss to the Raiders early with a leg injury, Matt Derrick of ChiefsDigest.com reports.
Smith suffered the injury late in the contest, so his inability to return to the game doesn't give much of a clue as to how severe the issue could be. More information about his status for Week 17 likely won't be known until the team releases its first injury report later in the week.
