Simmons, whom the Chiefs selected with the 32nd overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, is expected to ready for training camp after missing part of his 2024 season at Ohio State with a torn patellar injury, Adam Teicher of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The talented offensive tackle was able to participate in offseason practices and minicamp, but those consisted of non-contact sessions in terms of on-field work. Training camp will naturally take things a step further, and head coach Andy Reid is already looking forward to seeing what Simmons can do after lauding the rookie for his athletic ability, attitude and approach to his rehab up to this point.
