Josh Simmons dealing with bulging disc, will not practice on Wednesday

Kansas City left tackle Josh Simmons remains sidelined from practice as he manages a lower back issue involving a bulging disc, according to head coach Andy Reid. The organization opted against placing the offensive lineman on injured reserve given the uncertainty surrounding his recovery timeline, though the leadership group remains optimistic about his trajectory.

In the meantime, undrafted rookie Kahll Benson will continue filling the blindside protector role for the upcoming Sunday matchup against the Raiders, having handled those duties through the initial trio of matchups. Reid confirmed that the remainder of the active fifty-three-man squad is expected to participate fully in Wednesday's training sessions.
