Brett Veach had a two-pronged plan of attack for the Kansas City Chiefs' woes at left tackle last spring. After watching four different players man the position protecting Patrick Mahomes' blindside during the 2024 season, Veach went to work as the team's general manager to remedy a longstanding concern.
As the Chiefs prepare for Week 6 and a primetime appearance at home against the Detroit Lions, Veach is going to be glad he had a Plan B in mind.
The Chiefs (and everyone else) found out shortly before Sunday Night Football that starting left tackle Josh Simmons, the team's first-round selection in the 2025 NFL Draft, might not be available to play.
