Kansas City Chiefs coach Andy Reid and quarterback Patrick Mahomes reportedly tell offensive tackle Josh Simmons to leave a team meeting at the team’s facility. Multiple outlets describe the incident as involving Simmons being removed from the meeting by Reid and Mahomes, with subsequent developments following soon after.
ESPN and NFL Network sources say Simmons later apologizes, after which the report describes his return or acknowledgement following the dismissal. Yahoo Sports similarly reports that Reid and Mahomes told Simmons to leave. Yahoo’s framing emphasizes that the reason for the incident is unusual, while ESPN focuses on sourcing and the apology detail. One report also places the timing in relation to Simmons being later placed on injured reserve, describing the incident as occurring the day before that roster move. Across coverage, the common points are the same central claim: Reid and Mahomes direct Simmons to leave a team meeting, and Simmons apologizes afterward.
