Chiefs Receiver Rashee Rice Returns, Left Tackle Situation Unclear
15 Oct
Summary
- Chiefs receiver Rashee Rice back this week
- Rookie left tackle Josh Simmons' status uncertain
- Jaylon Moore started in Simmons' place
As of October 15, 2025, the Kansas City Chiefs are set to welcome back wide receiver Rashee Rice this week, but the team's left tackle situation remains uncertain. Head coach Andy Reid declined to provide any details about rookie Josh Simmons, including whether he would practice on Wednesday or if there is a timeline for his return to the team.
Reid stated that general manager Brett Veach is handling the matter, suggesting a potential roster move could be in the works. Quarterback Patrick Mahomes also opted to keep the details private, saying he is "always praying" for his teammates, including Simmons.
Simmons reportedly went to California over the weekend to deal with a family matter and has not been with the team since. In his absence, Jaylon Moore started at left tackle and would presumably do so again this week if Simmons remains unavailable.
The Chiefs are keeping a tight lid on the situation, but it appears they are prepared to move forward without Simmons for the time being, with Moore stepping up to fill the void at the critical left tackle position.
