Chiefs Set to Use Undrafted Rookie at Left Tackle as Simmons Ruled Out The Kansas City Chiefs are facing an unexpected challenge ahead of their season opener against the Denver Broncos: left tackle Josh Simmons is out, and Kahlil Benson, a rookie undrafted from Indiana, will be tasked with protecting Patrick Mahomes' blind side.
