Here was Nate Taylor Full Injury Update on LT Josh Simmons Seeking a second medical opinion on his lower back… - Chiefs remain not concerned - Has nothing to do with Simmons’ absence from Kansas City last season - Appears to be out of caution due to Josh reshaping... his body in the offseasonshow more

@ByNateTaylor Concern upgraded from a 4 to a 7/10

@hbtCHIEFS @ByNateTaylor I just get a bad feeling about this guy

@ByNateTaylor This dude is nothing but a pain in the ass, he’s constantly got something.

@ByNateTaylor This fucking guy….

@ByNateTaylor The Guy doesn’t want to play football!!!

@ByNateTaylor Simmons could become one of the most despised Chiefs on the roster if he doesn't suit up for MNF. Fair or not, that's my Nostradamus prediction

@ByNateTaylor Would probably be unfair no matter what. But I won’t say you are wrong there is a vocal minority of chiefs fans that hates him

@ByNateTaylor Honestly this josh Simmons guy doesn’t want play football

@hbtCHIEFS @ByNateTaylor Is he playing against Denver? That's the only important question right now.

@ByNateTaylor Simmons is a female. There’s no doubt about it.

@ByNateTaylor Simmons is a basket case and we need to begin a plan to move forward with a different player slotted into the LT1 spot or we are gambling with the franchise’s and Mahomes’ future.

@ByNateTaylor Seth saying the line should be top5 is the big takeaway there imo. Ton of pressure on moore and heck

These are the type of remarks the media make when they know the player isn't playing anytime soon. Translation: Simmons is very talented, but it's obvious he doesn't value the team or his commitment to the team. He also doesn't trust the team doctors and is making it clear he will decide his availability and treatment. A second contract will be a battle to work out with this player. I am already thinking of a trade next year.

@ByNateTaylor Getting a second read on a back is smart. Lower back stuff lingers if rushed back too fast.

@hbtCHIEFS @ByNateTaylor Hey is getting injury prone

@ByNateTaylor May not be a big deal but I swear I can read Andy Reid like a book at the podium and he's frustrated with it whatever it is. Hes also a guy who values every rep and every second work can get done too so that could be part of it.

@ByNateTaylor The chiefs and the insiders can say it all they want, but I personally do not believe he loves football. I don’t for one second believe it drives him. Watch and see if he doesn’t randomly retire at 27/28.

@ByNateTaylor Might be a bust

@ByNateTaylor The moment he said he was 285 I immediately got worried. But this makes sense from rapid weight fluctuation. Probly fine. Couple weeks to figure it out.
