Kansas City, MO (SportsNetwork.com) - Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Alex Smith suffered a right shoulder injury during Sunday's game against St. Louis, but managed to finish the contest and coach Andy Reid doesn't expect any problems going forward.
"Alex has a shoulder sprain," said Reid on Monday. "It happened in the game and he was able to go through the game, but he's a bit sore today and should be fine."
Reid said the injury occurred before halftime of the 34-7 win and might be no worse than a bruise.
"It was tender (today)," Reid added. "We'll just see. He's upbeat about it. We did all the precautionary things, looking at it. It just needs a little time to get the soreness out of there."
Smith had a strong game Sunday, completing 24-of-28 passes for 226 yards without an interception or a touchdown.
Reid added that reserve linebacker Josh Martin and defensive back Jamell Fleming each suffered hamstring injuries on Sunday.
