Xavier Smith emerged as a surprising cut candidate during training camp as the team explored other options on special teams and he failed to secure his roster spot in the receiver room. After Saturday's preseason game against the Chiefs, count those questions answered. Smith impressed in both roles enough so that he should be all but a lock to make the team.

Smith's preseason performance locks him in after being cut candidate during camp.

Xavier Smith, a receiver and return specialist, was a cut candidate during training camp after failing to secure his roster spot in the receiver room, with Konata Mumpfield, CJ Daniels, and Jordan Whittington ahead of him. However, Smith impressed in both receiver and return specialist roles in Saturday's preseason game against the Chiefs, including a 40-yard punt return to the Kansas City 23-yard line at the start of the fourth quarter that led to a touchdown drive. After this performance, Smith should be all but a lock to make the team.
