Chiefs Evaluate Josh Simmons’ Week 11 Role After Return to Practice

Reid will finalize the left tackle plan after reviewing practice film, with conditioning determining Simmons’ workload.

Overview

  • Rookie LT Josh Simmons rejoined the team this week after a multi-week personal absence and was listed as a full participant on Wednesday.
  • Andy Reid declined to name a starter at left tackle, saying there is a chance Simmons plays and that a decision will come after practice evaluation with OL coach Andy Heck.
  • Patrick Mahomes welcomed Simmons back and said he trusts either Simmons or fill-in Jaylon Moore to handle the job.
  • In Simmons’ absence, Moore logged roughly 12 pressures allowed in Weeks 6-9 and holds a 69.0 PFF composite grade through Week 10, per reporting.
  • The choice at left tackle takes on added weight against Denver’s league-leading pass rush, as the Chiefs also ruled RB Isiah Pacheco out and, per Ian Rapoport, the Broncos ruled out RB J.K. Dobbins.
