Chiefs' Josh Simmons Back With Team, Status for Broncos Under Evaluation

Coaches will use this week's practices to determine his role for Sunday's game in Denver.

Overview

  • Andy Reid said the rookie left tackle has returned from a family-related absence and is expected to practice this week.
  • Reid stopped short of naming Simmons the immediate starter at left tackle, citing an evaluation alongside fill-in Jaylon Moore.
  • Simmons missed four games after leaving before Week 6, having previously won the job as the No. 32 overall pick.
  • Moore has handled the position in Simmons' absence, with Reid describing his performance as respectable.
  • Reid noted running back Isiah Pacheco's knee status remains uncertain and right tackle Jawaan Taylor is feeling better, with the first injury report due Wednesday before the Sunday matchup at the AFC West-leading Broncos.
