Chiefs Player Ejected from Meeting After Clash
25 Oct
Summary
- Simmons was dismissed from a team meeting by Reid and Mahomes.
- The incident stemmed from Simmons' feet-up posture due to injury.
- Simmons has played only 8 of 14 possible games this season.

Kansas City Chiefs left tackle Josh Simmons was dismissed from a team meeting on Wednesday by head coach Andy Reid and quarterback Patrick Mahomes. The confrontation arose when Simmons was seated with his feet up, citing a back injury. After a brief exchange, Mahomes instructed Simmons to leave for disrupting the meeting.
Simmons, who was placed on injured reserve on Thursday, has struggled with availability, playing in just eight of fourteen games. He has not practiced since August. The team hopes Simmons, their first-round draft pick from last year, can secure Mahomes' blind side in the future. He could potentially return for the Week 11 game against the Cardinals.
