Josh Simmons Sidelined With Lower Back Bulging Disc

Kansas City Chiefs left tackle Josh Simmons will not practice due to a bulging disc in his lower back, head coach Andy Reid announced, extending his absence since August 17. While the team has not placed him on injured reserve due to an unclear timeline, Reid noted that Simmons is heading in the right direction. Undrafted rookie Kahll Benson, who has started the first three games in Simmons' absence, is in line to start again in Sunday's upcoming matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders.
