Forty-eight hours after Josh Simmons decided to attend to a "family matter" that kept him from playing for the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 6, fans are still left in the dark as to what happened and/or what to expect in the future.
That's both surprising and appropriate.
The Chiefs were thrown a major curveball just hours before taking the field at Arrowhead Stadium to host the Detroit Lions in primetime with the news that Simmons was missing in action. First came the designation of "questionable" on the Chiefs' injury report for personal reasons. Then further reports clouded his availability before he was finally ruled out.
