## Resource

Chiefs rookie left tackle Josh Simmons is sidelined with a back injury, forcing the team to rely on backups as they gear up for the season opener. Coach Andy Reid emphasizes caution, noting Simmons has been in rehab since the issue flared during training camp. With offensive linemen facing high physical demands, back injuries can be career-threatening—even for young players like Simmons. Meanwhile, other key players including Chris Jones and Kingsley Suamataia are also dealing with minor setbacks, adding pressure as the roster finalizes. The team’s patience and depth will be tested as they await updates on Simmons’ return. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
