Josh Simmons set for IR as Chiefs are dealt another major blow just hours after crushing Cowboys loss

Kansas City Chiefs rookie Josh Simmons is reportedly heading for IR after suffering a dislocated and fractured wrist on Thanksgiving.

It is another crushing blow for Andy Reid’s team, who were beaten by the Dallas Cowboys 31-28 on Thursday afternoon.

Simmons, who has only just returned from a mysterious 22-day absence, was playing well against the Cowboys when the injury occurred.

But he left AT&T Stadium in a cast and is scheduled for an MRI on Friday. However, NFL insider Ian Rapoport has claimed he is set to be on IR. 

That means he will miss a critical time for the Chiefs, whose playoff hopes are hanging by a thread after an underwhelming season.
