The Kansas City Chiefs face significant offensive tackle challenges entering their Week 7 game against the Seattle Seahawks. With starting left tackle Josh Simmons placed on injured reserve due to a back injury and right tackle Jaylon Moore sidelined by a concussion, Kansas City will rely on rookie Kahlil Benson and newcomer Josh Ezeudu to protect quarterback Patrick Mahomes.
