Kansas City Radio Host Concedes OutKick’s Simmons Report is Accurate but Demands Listeners Ignore It

Carrington Harrison, a Kansas City sports radio host, admitted on air that OutKick’s reporting on Chiefs left tackle Josh Simmons was factually correct but urged his audience to disregard the outlet due to its political associations. The dispute centers on the mysterious absence of Simmons, who has missed all four games this season due to an undisclosed back injury. While Harrison confirmed that 'something greater' is likely happening with the player, he criticized OutKick writer Bobby Burack for cultivating a brand around 'insects, bots, trolls, and racists.' This contradiction highlights a broader tension between local sports media and national outlets, where factual accuracy is rejected based on ideological alignment rather than evidence.

Simmons, who was drafted 32nd overall in 2025, has played in only eight of 20 career games. The Chiefs are currently 3-0, but the absence of their blindside protector for Patrick Mahomes remains a significant concern, with no official return date provided.

Chiefs' 2026 Tackle Dilemma: Can Simmons and Moore Hold Up?

Kansas City heads into 2026 with unsettled tackle play after a long string of moving parts. The starter duo is expected to be Josh Simmons and Jaylon Moore, but health and consistency are major questions: Simmons has shown potential but has battled injuries and personal absences, while Moore has never started more than six games and struggles in pass protection. Behind them, swing-tackle depth is uncertain with Esa Pole, Chu Godrick, and rookie Kahlil Benson in the mix, and the Chiefs did not add a clear veteran anchor this offseason, leaving swing-tackle roles as a potential season-dependent variable.
