Chiefs rookie cornerbacks Kevin Knowles and Melvin Smith did their part to earn their respective spots on the practice squad after training camp and preseason action.
While they didn’t make the initial 53-player roster, the Chiefs saw enough in Knowles and Smith to bring them back to continue development.
The duo’s presence in the building and practice field represents just another step of their professional journey.
