St. Louis Rams offensive tackle Jason Smith, will likely miss this Sunday’s home opener against Green Bay with a knee injury.  The Chiefs could see some of Michael Vick, but it’s highly unlikely he’ll be at the quarterback position.

First, the news on Smith, the second overall pick in this year’s draft.  He sprained his left knee and while he will miss this game, head coach Steve Spagnuolo  said he will not require surgery.  Look for Adam Goldberg to take his spot.  The line is banged up a bit.  Center Jason Brown has a knee sprain and is day to day, but the Rams will be getting back John Greco who missed the first two games.

Vick is set to be activated this week by Philadelphia, but Eagles head coach Andy Reid said if Donovan McNabb can’t start at quarterback, he’ll go with Kevin Kolb again who lost against New Orleans.  McNabb suffered a cracked rib in their season opener.

The Eagles have Jeff Garcia and possibly Vick as a back up at QB.
