The Kansas City Chiefs have been without rookie offensive lineman Josh Simmons in recent weeks, which has thrown a wrench into the team’s starting lineup.
Will Simmons take the field in Kansas City’s matchup against the Buffalo Bills this afternoon?
Here’s the latest update on Simmons’ status for Week 9:
Josh Simmons status update
Simmons did not participate in any of the Chiefs’ practice sessions this week due to a personal matter he has been attending to. He has officially been given a game status designation of “OUT” for Kansas City’s Week 9 matchup against the Bills.
How long will Josh Simmons be out?
It is unclear how many more games Simmons will miss. The fact that he is not physically injured bodes well for his eventual return to the field this season, though no official timeline for his return has been given by the Chiefs’ coaches or front office.
Chiefs OL depth chart
In recent weeks, Kansas City has put veteran offensive lineman Jaylon Moore at the left tackle spot in Simmons’ absence. However, Moore was absent from the Chiefs’ practice session on Friday due to illness and is officially listed as questionable for Week 9. If Moore is unable to play against the Bills this afternoon, Wanya Mooris will be Kansas City’s starting left tackle.
