Detroit, MI, August 6, 2026 —
Kansas City Chiefs offensive tackle Josh Simmons has returned to full health and is actively participating in the team’s training camp. This marks a significant development for the team’s offensive line as Simmons aims to build on a promising start to his previous season.
Simmons’ 2023 campaign was unfortunately derailed by a combination of injuries and personal matters, limiting his availability and development. His presence on the field during this training camp signifies a fresh start and an opportunity to re-establish himself as a key contributor.
Currently, Simmons is dedicating his efforts to enhancing his overall consistency as a player. A primary objective is to strengthen the protection for quarterback Patrick Mahomes, a crucial element for the Chiefs’ offensive success. Beyond pass protection, Simmons also expressed a commitment to improving the team’s ground game, aiming to contribute to a more robust run blocking effort.
The offensive tackle’s return to full health and participation in camp provides the coaching staff with valuable time to evaluate his progress and integrate him further into the team’s schemes. His focus on consistency and dual-threat contributions in both pass and run blocking indicates a player determined to make a substantial impact in the upcoming season.
