Smith (groin) is active for Monday's game versus the Patriots, BJ Kissel of the Chiefs' official site reports.

Analysis:

Smith's groin injury contained the cornerback to limited showings in practice this week. No matter, he's facing the Patriots for the first time since donning a Dolphins uniform as a divisional foe in his first four NFL seasons, during which he didn't pick off Tom Brady but tallied 10 tackles (seven solo) across four tilts.
