Chiefs rookie left tackle Josh Simmons is expected to rejoin the team \u201cin a few weeks,\u201d Nate Taylor of ESPN reports.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s the first timeline anyone has provided about Simmons\u2019 future.<\/p>\n
He left the team hours before kickoff against the Lions on Oct. 12, flying to his hometown of San Diego for what the team announced as personal reasons. Simmons has remained away since. <\/p>\n
\u201cThere\u2019s communication and everything is positive,\u201d coach Andy Reid said Thursday. \u201cIt\u2019s not a negative situation, so he\u2019s taking care of family. He\u2019s just taking care of business. That\u2019s the main thing. When you deal with this, that\u2019s what you do.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s been very good about communicating.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Chiefs have their off week following their Nov. 2 game against the Bills.<\/p>\n
Jaylon Moore, a 2024 free agent signee, has played left tackle in Simmons\u2019 stead. <\/p>\n
Kansas City drafted Simmons in the first round, and he started the first five games.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Chiefs rookie left tackle Josh Simmons is expected to rejoin the team \u201cin a few weeks,\u201d Nate Taylor…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":238113,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[436],"tags":[49,48,514,82],"class_list":{"0":"post-238112","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nfl","8":"tag-ca","9":"tag-canada","10":"tag-nfl","11":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/238112","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=238112"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/238112\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/238113"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=238112"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=238112"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=238112"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
