Some notes
- Left tackle Josh Simmons missed all three of this week’s practices. He also missed Sunday night’s game against the Detroit Lions for unexplained personal reasons. The official designation for his absence continues to be not injury related – personal, so we assume it is the same issue that kept him out of Sunday’s game.
- The Chiefs continue to be tight-lipped (and frankly, confusing) about the situation. In his opening remarks to reporters on Friday, head coach Andy Reid said that Simmons was “still excused with a family situation.” Then asked if he was confirming Simmons is absent for a family matter, Reid replied, “Well, personal.” He then denied having an “understanding” of a return timeline for the rookie left tackle.
- Every other Kansas City player on the injury report was also a full participant in Friday’s practice — meaning that except for Simmons, every player on the roster is good to go for Sunday’s game.
- For Las Vegas, star tight end Brock Bowers continues to deal with a lingering knee injury that has already kept him out of two games. While he was upgraded to limited on Friday, he has been listed as doubtftul for the game.
- Starting wideout Jakobi Meyers is listed with knee and toe issues. He was also upgraded to limited on Friday, but is questionable for the game.
- One other starter was limited on Friday: defensive end Maxx Crosby, who was not given a game designation. He is expected to play.
- Two special teams players were limited: wideout Alex Bachman is questionable for Sunday’s game with an ankle injury, while running back Dylan Laube is good to go.
- Special teams wide receiver Justin Shorter was held out due to an illness on Thursday. He was upgraded to full participation on Friday. He is expected to be available against the Chiefs.
