Chiefs Add Rookie LT Josh Simmons to Week 5 Injury Report With Illness Minutes Before Kickoff
The late designation casts uncertainty over Kansas City’s protection plan at left tackle for Patrick Mahomes.
Overview
- Simmons was listed as questionable shortly before the Monday Night Football matchup against the Jaguars at EverBank Stadium.
- He had not appeared on the injury report earlier in the week, indicating the illness was a new development.
- If he cannot play, Kansas City is expected to turn to Wanya Morris or Jaylon Moore at left tackle.
- The 2025 first-round pick (No. 32) has been starting at left tackle and drawing positive reviews for his early-season play.
- NFL insider Adam Schefter first reported the late addition to the injury report, which prompted immediate contingency planning.
