The Kansas City Chiefs made an unexpected addition to the injury report right before their Week 5 game against the Jacksonville Jaguars, as left tackle Josh Simmons has been added due to an illness.

Simmons, who is now questionable to play, was not on the injury report during the week, so this is a brand new issue for the starting left tackle.

Now, Simmons' status for the contest is up in the air. Here's what we know about whether or not he's going to play on Monday night.

We'll update this page once more information is known.
