Chiefs place Josh Simmons on injured reserve after wrist surgery
- On Wednesday, the Kansas City Chiefs placed first-round pick Josh Simmons on injured reserve after surgery to repair a fractured and dislocated left wrist, removing their starting left tackle.
- Having returned from a torn patellar tendon at Ohio State, Josh Simmons started the first five games of the season, missed the next four for a family matter, and sustained the wrist injury in last week's Thanksgiving Day loss in Dallas.
- With multiple linemen hurt, the club will shuffle its offensive line as Esa Pole was elevated from the practice squad to replace Simmons, with Wanya Morris, Mike Caliendo, and Jaylon Moore filling key roles.
- The Chiefs are 6-6 and 10th in the AFC heading into Sunday night's game against the Houston Texans, making this nearly a must-win as their 3-4 conference record hurts tiebreakers.
- The team reported the surgery went well and Josh Simmons feels good about the procedure, while Chiefs center Creed Humphrey and Patrick Mahomes said replacements will be ready and quicker releases may be needed.
