The Story in 60 Seconds

KC Kingdom's Ernesto Cova argues that Jaylon Moore's Week 4 struggles against the Las Vegas Raiders should prompt the Kansas City Chiefs to reinstate Josh Simmons once healthy. Moore surrendered eight pressures against edge rusher Maxx Crosby during Kansas City's victory, bringing his season totals to three sacks and three quarterback hits allowed.

Simmons remains sidelined with a back injury that head coach Andy Reid confirmed will not require surgery. The writer suggests Moore should revert to a backup swing tackle role, noting that rookie Kahlil Benson could occupy right tackle once Simmons returns to protect Patrick Mahomes.
