Kansas City Chiefs rookie offensive tackle Josh Simmons returned to the team Monday after missing the past four games for personal reasons, multiple outlets reported.

Simmons, 22, had been dealing with a family matter, according to head coach Andy Reid, and missed games against the Detroit Lions, Las Vegas Raiders, Washington Commanders and Buffalo Bills. Kansas City is 5-4 overall and went 3-1 during the stretch.

A first-round draft pick out of Ohio State, Simmons started the first five games of the season as the Chiefs went 2-3.

Kansas City is entering its bye week and will not get back to action until Nov. 16 on the road against the Denver Broncos.
