KANSAS CITY, Mo. - Chiefs quarterback Alex Smith has a lacerated spleen and will miss the team's regular season finale against the Chargers, team trainer Rick Burkholder said Friday.
Burkholder said Smith was injured on a hit to his abdomen in the third quarter of the Chiefs' loss Sunday at the Steelers, though will not require surgery.
Smith noted some discomfort after that contest, though did not believe it then a serious injury, practicing fully on Tuesday and Wednesday of the past week.
Chase Daniel will relieve Smith for the Chiefs (8-7), who can clinch a playoff berth with a victory Sunday and defeats by Baltimore and Houston.
