Smythe (ankle) returned to a limited practice Thursday, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.
Smythe missed Wednesday's practice, but the tight end's return to the field a day later has him moving in the right direction in advance of Sunday's against the Chiefs. Through eight games, Smythe has logged a 14-151-0 line on 19 targets, a rate of production that limits his fantasy utility to deeper formats.
