Chiefs' preseason Week 2 exposes tackle depth gaps, while edge rush shines

In Week 2 of the preseason, the Kansas City Chiefs showed significant tackle-depth concerns with Josh Simmons out due to a back injury, as Jaylon Moore, Khalil Benson and Esa Pole struggled in pass protection and raised questions about right tackle depth. If Simmons misses time, the offense would rely on extra chips and limit downfield throws. On defense, Felix Anudike-Uzomah and Mason Thomas flashed as disruptive edge players, though rookie Peter Woods has been underwhelming with limited power and hand usage. Special teams delivered a jaw-dropping moment as Harrison Butker nailed a 69-yard field goal before halftime, underscoring the kicking game’s strength this season.
