Chiefs Overhaul O-Line, Rookie Simmons Leads Changes

Kansas City Chiefs rookie Josh Simmons is emerging as the likely starter at left tackle, receiving high praise from coaches and teammates for his athleticism and professionalism during training camp. This move is part of a broader offensive line overhaul after the Chiefs' Super Bowl loss last season. Despite previous concerns about a patellar tendon injury, Simmons has shown strong recovery and performance, increasing optimism about his long-term potential. Head coach Andy Reid and veteran players have highlighted Simmons' rapid adaptation and work ethic. The Chiefs have also shifted Kingsley Suamataia to guard in an effort to strengthen the offensive line. These changes are aimed at providing better protection for quarterback Patrick Mahomes moving forward.
