Kansas City Chiefs rookie tackle Josh Simmons is not expected to play in Sunday night’s game against the Detroit Lions as he tends to a family matter in California, according to reports.

Simmons was added to the team’s injury report Sunday afternoon and listed as questionable for personal, non-football reasons.

NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported that Simmons traveled home to deal with the issue and is unlikely to return in time for kickoff.

If Simmons cannot go, the Chiefs could turn to Jaylon Moore at the left tackle position for Sunday night.

Moore was signed as a free agent following the 2024 season.
