As the NFL summer shifts from inactivity to preparation, teams like the Kansas City Chiefs are gearing up for potential Super Bowl runs. The 2025-26 season will be here before anyone knows it, and training camp is a perfect opportunity to get a glimpse at what a roster could look like in the fall.

For the reigning AFC champions, one position group is getting a lot of attention. For yet another offseason, the Chiefs’ offensive tackles are the talk of the town. This time around, it’s a mixed bag for Andy Reid’s crew. Jawaan Taylor is nursing a knee injury and while he’s “closer” to returning than others, he’s starting camp on the physically unable to perform (PUP) list.

Where does that leave veteran Jaylon Moore and, perhaps more importantly in the eyes of fans, rookie Josh Simmons? Reid dove into it all on Sunday.

Many are campaigning for Simmons to get the starting job right out of the gate. Reid indicated that he’ll “flip” players like Moore and the rookie around the formation. In past camps, offensive line coach Andy Heck has worked his athletes at both tackle spots. Sometimes, swing tackles even get a bit of guard work for versatility purposes.

As he does every year, Reid played his cards close to his chest regarding Simmons and Moore. In either event, the future Hall of Fame head coach wants someone to stand out.

“You’ve got to look for the best guy, I mean, to start with, that can fill in that spot, (so) that we can have a little consistency there,” Reid said. “We didn’t have that last year and so let’s work at it and see what we come up with. We’ve got some good candidates for it, and you know, we’ll just see where it goes.”

This shouldn’t surprise anyone, especially after the year the Chiefs just had. Burning through Kingsley Suamataia, Wanya Morris, D.J. Humphries and Joe Thuney all in one season is bound to drive any coach into a search for continuity.
