One former Hawkeye will be active with the Kansas City Chiefs offense for Saturday. Kansas City announced wide receiver Ihmir Smith-Marsette will be active and is elevated from the practice squad for the game against the Las Vegas Raiders.
Smith-Marsette started the 2022 NFL season as a part of the Chicago Bears organization. He was last active in a game for the Chiefs during Week 14 when he appeared on 3 offensive snaps.

Kansas City is dealing with a number of injuries in the receiving room for the regular-season finale. Skyy Moore has already been ruled out for the game and fellow receiver Mecole Hardman is listed as questionable for the matchup.
With so many question marks, Smith-Marsette could find his way onto the field for some key moments in Week 18.
