Seahawks, Texans host ex-Chiefs QB Ian Book, TE Irv Smith Jr. for workouts

QB Ian Book and TE Irv Smith, who played for the #Chiefs in the preseason, worked out for the #Seahawks and #Texans respectively on Tuesday.

According to a report from NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero, Seattle Seahawks and Houston Texans both hosted players who were on the Kansas City Chiefs’ preseason roster for workouts on Tuesday.

Seattle took a look at former Notre Dame quarterback Ian Book, who saw extended playing time during Kansas City’s exhibition matchups against the Jacksonville Jaguars and Chicago Bears in August.

Houston hosted tight end Irv Smith, who signed with the Chiefs as a free agent earlier this year but was cut after failing to earn a spot on Kansas City’s 53-man roster after training camp.

It remains unclear whether the former Chiefs are expected to sign a contract with the teams they visited.

For its part, Kansas City reunited with veteran running back Kareem Hunt on Tuesday after star rusher Isiah Pacheco sustained a serious leg injury in the Chiefs’ win over the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 2.

Stay tuned to see if Book or Smith signs with a new team ahead of Week 3.
