Smith's lack of role makes him vulnerable to replacement by short-yardage specialist.

Third-string running back Brashard Smith appears to have no role on either offense or special teams, making him a potential roster replacement candidate. The source has seen discussions about replacing him with veteran Kareem Hunt, who was unstoppable on short conversions in 2025, though using a roster spot on a running back for only one specific situation remains difficult.
