Patrick Mahomes and Andy Reid sent Chiefs offensive tackle Josh Simmons out of a team meeting on Wednesday, a day before Kansas City put him on injured reserve, NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo and Ian Rapoport reported .

What Happened in the Meeting

Simmons was sitting with his feet up in the offense’s meeting room when Reid asked him to put them down, according to sources who saw it. Simmons told Reid he had to sit that way because his back and hips were aching.

Reid told him to get treatment from the athletic trainers if he was in pain. The back-and-forth went on and held up the meeting until Mahomes backed his coach and told Simmons to leave and go get treatment.

Simmons left the room but stayed in the building. Later that day, he apologized to Reid and the team’s leadership and said he could have handled the situation better, according to the report.
