Kansas City ESPN says that Chiefs’ left tackle Josh Simmons should return in a couple of weeks. The rookie played in the first five matches of his career, but was forced to miss the last two games due to a “family matter.” He hasn’t practiced this past week and will reportedly miss at least one game, with the Chiefs scheduled to host the Washington Commanders in “Monday Night Football.” Football.”Simmons is the No. 32 overall selection in the NFL Draft 2025, returned to California to be with his family prior to the Chiefs Week 6 match and was ruled “personally” out of the game on the availability report. Andy Reid initially refused comment but gave a positive report this week on his rookie offensive lineman.Reid told reporters that he had a simple update on Josh: “There’s been communication.” I’m not going into the details. Everything’s positive. This is not a bad situation. He’s looking after his family.”Simmons protected quarterback Patrick Mahomes’ blind side and in his absence Jaylon Moore took over blocking duties during victories against the Detroit Lions. Mahomes declined to make any comments about Simmons’ situation.
Mahomes said, “I will keep the conversations private between us.” “But I pray for him constantly.” I pray for my team, so I also pray for him. I’ll keep everything else private for us.The Chiefs won their two last games by at minimum two scores and are 2-0 in games without Simmons. The Chiefs scored 31 points against Raiders and 30 against Lions.
Simmons is missing extended time for the second consecutive season. After a knee injury that ended his season, he missed more than half of the final year he spent at Ohio State. He played a major role in helping the Buckeyes win the national title. In his six games, Simmons had the lowest pressure rate (0.7%) of any tackle with at least 100 snaps blocking passes in the nation.
