Report: Chiefs LT Josh Simmons Expected Back in a Few Weeks

Coach Andy Reid calls the family-related absence a positive situation, with Jaylon Moore filling in.

Overview

  • ESPN reports the rookie left tackle is likely to rejoin Kansas City in a few weeks, with a logical return around the early-November bye.
  • Simmons is not expected to play Monday night against the Washington Commanders after missing Weeks 6 and 7.
  • Andy Reid said there is ongoing communication and emphasized that the situation is positive and that Simmons is taking care of family.
  • The Chiefs have not placed Simmons on the Non-Football Injury list, a sign the team is keeping a near-term return on the table.
  • Jaylon Moore has started in Simmons’ place and performed well, drawing praise from Patrick Mahomes as the offense has continued to score over 31 points per game in recent weeks.
