With each passing week, Kansas City Chiefs fans are gaining a bit more clarity on the status of Josh Simmons, who remains absent from the team while dealing with what's been termed a personal matter. While details remain fuzzy, as they should be for anyone outside of the organization, sources have told ESPN reporter Nate Taylor that Simmons is expected back to the franchise in the "next few weeks."
Simmons has remained away from the Chiefs since Week 6 against the Detroit Lions at Arrowhead Stadium. Shortly before the Chiefs were set to take the field, Simmons was added to the injury report with a description simply stating that it was personal and not actually injury-related.
