Overview
- Simmons exited the Week 13 game against the Cowboys with a left wrist injury and was seen in a cast and sling before leaving the stadium.
- NFL Network reporting says the wrist is both dislocated and fractured, he is out indefinitely, and he underwent an MRI to help determine treatment options.
- Head coach Andy Reid confirmed Simmons hurt his wrist, and multiple outlets indicate IR is expected pending medical decisions.
- Right tackle Jawaan Taylor also left the game with an elbow/triceps issue, and guard Trey Smith was already out, intensifying the Chiefs’ offensive line depth concerns.
- A first-round pick who previously missed four games for a personal matter, Simmons had been a steady pass protector, making his loss a significant setback for a 6-6 team facing a difficult stretch against top defenses.
