Overview
- Multiple reports from Jordan Schultz and Ian Rapoport say Simmons was back at the Chiefs’ facility on Monday after missing four games.
- Kansas City had listed his time away as Not Injury Related – Personal, and Andy Reid said the team has stayed in contact as Simmons takes care of family.
- With a Week 10 bye, Simmons is expected to use the break to re-acclimate, placing him on track for potential availability in Week 11 at Denver, though the team has not confirmed his status.
- Before stepping away, the first-rounder started five games and allowed one sack and 12 pressures with a 71.2 Pro Football Focus pass-block grade.
- His return could bolster a line that struggled in the 28-21 loss to Buffalo as Jaylon Moore filled in at left tackle and right tackle Jawaan Taylor exited with an ankle injury.
