Andy Reid on potential plans for Josh Simmons during injury recovery

On Wednesday, Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid addressed reporters regarding offensive lineman Josh Simmons' ongoing recovery from a lower back injury. Reid mentioned that Simmons had undergone a back check, which revealed a flare-up in the injured area. He stated that Simmons has been actively working on his rehabilitation, and the team would need to wait and see how the injury progresses.

Reid praised the performance of the existing offensive linemen, noting that they had stepped up well in Simmons' absence. He also introduced the newly acquired versatile offensive lineman, Joshua Ezeudu, who was part of a trade with the New York Giants on Tuesday, August 25. Ezeudu, a former third-round draft pick, possesses the capability to play both guard and tackle, providing essential depth to the offensive line.

Reid acknowledged that there were a few initial challenges as Ezeudu adjusted to the team's systems, including snap counts, plays, calls, and pass protection. However, he expressed satisfaction with the overall performance, stating that the team did a good job integrating the new player.
