Kansas City Chiefs offensive tackle Josh Simmons faces growing uncertainty surrounding his back injury, according to KC Kingdom's Ernesto Cova. Although head coach Andy Reid previously announced that Simmons would not require surgery or an injured reserve stint, ESPN insider Nate Taylor reported there is currently no indication that Simmons will return to practice soon.
