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.
