Kansas City Chiefs rookie left tackle Josh Simmons underwent surgery on his left wrist and is going on injured reserve, head coach Andy Reid announced Wednesday. Simmons will miss a minimum of four games.
Simmons, Kansas City’s first-round pick out of Ohio State , suffered a dislocated and fractured wrist in the Thanksgiving Day loss to the Dallas Cowboys. He left AT&T Stadium with a cast on his arm.
Simmons has been impressive for the Chiefs this season. He has allowed two sacks, according to Pro Football Focus , though he’s racked up eight penalties.
“So, listen, your kid loves to play football, and, you know, that’s that part,” Reid said. “He’s depressed about that part. That’s probably the wrong word. He’s down about that part, but he’s upbeat. I mean, the surgery went well, which was a real positive, and so he feels good about that, and then it’s just a matter of coming back. He’s did a great job with his knee coming back. He’s a worker, so he’s whatever he can do to rehab it. He’s going to do. That’s just how he rolls.”
