Will Josh Simmons return this season? Injury update, return timeline for Chiefs LT image

The Kansas City Chiefs' offensive line was dealt a tough blow recently when left tackle Josh Simmons sustained a significant injury.

Simmons sustained a dislocated and fractured left wrist in the Week 13 loss to the Dallas Cowboys that landed him on injured reserve.

Simmons will now miss at least the next four games, although there's a chance he'll be out longer than that.

Here's what we know about his rest-of-season status.

Will Josh Simmons return this season?

We do not have a definitive answer on Simmons' rest-of-season status just yet.

According to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, Simmons is out indefinitely with his injury, although Rapoport did not say it's season-ending.

Chiefs head coach Andy Reid has not closed the door on Simmons returning at some point, either.

"We'll just see about the recovery on that, where it goes from there," Reid said of his left tackle. "The kid loves to play. He's down about that part, but he's upbeat [because] the surgery went well, which was a real positive. He feels good about that."

"It's just a matter of coming back. He's a worker. Whatever he can do to rehab it, he's going to do it," Reid added.
