Chiefs LT Josh Simmons Returns to Practice, WR Rashee Rice Appears Unlikely to Play vs Chargers
Andy Reid said Simmons will practice on a limited basis, while Rice remains out as Kansas City prepares for the Chargers.
- On Wednesday, Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid announced that left tackle Josh Simmons returned to practice on a limited basis, while wide receiver Rashee Rice remains sidelined with a hamstring injury.
- Simmons, a first-round pick, has been out for nearly two months with a bulging disc that Reid said 'kind of hindered the strength of his leg,' prompting cautious easing back into participation.

- Rice is the only player missing practice Wednesday, though his return timeline remains uncertain; the Chiefs also manage receiver Tyquan Thornton's season-threatening ankle dislocation that landed him on injured reserve.
- Quarterback Patrick Mahomes expressed confidence in the current roster as Kansas City prepares to host the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday, looking to move to 5-0 on the season.
