As of October 16, 2026, the Kansas City Chiefs ruled out wide receiver Rashee Rice and left tackle Josh Simmons for their upcoming Sunday game against the Los Angeles Chargers. Coach Andy Reid announced this decision after Friday’s practice. Despite Rice being seen jogging on the sideline during recent practices, he has not recovered enough from a hamstring injury sustained two weeks ago against the Raiders. Meanwhile, although Simmons returned to practice recently after missing nearly two months due to a bulging disc in his lower back, he did not participate in team portions of this week’s practice, indicating that the long-term plan for his recovery is still ongoing. The Chiefs are now looking at undrafted rookie Kahlil Benson as their starting left tackle and have Jaylon Moore at right tackle.
