## Resource

Josh Simmons’ back injury has thrown Kansas City’s offensive line into chaos, with the Chiefs refusing to clarify his status as they head into Week One against Denver. Once a rock-solid left tackle, Simmons was sidelined since training camp and reportedly sought a second opinion after being cleared — fueling frustration from former teammate Mitchell Schwartz, who’s demanding transparency. With no timeline from coach Andy Reid and Mahomes’ blind side in jeopardy, rookie Kahlil Benson or veteran Diego Pounds may be thrust into the starting role — a daunting task for either, especially without time to build chemistry. The Chiefs’ silence is sparking fan anxiety as they face a critical test of depth and adaptability. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
