Patrick Mahomes reportedly told Josh Simmons to leave a Kansas City Chiefs meeting and seek treatment after a reported disagreement with head coach Andy Reid over his seating position, one day before Simmons was placed on injured reserve because of his back injury, according to a report attributed in the supplied material to NFL Network.
The incident occurred ahead of the Chiefs' Week 7 Sunday Night Football game against the Seattle Seahawks. Simmons, a second‑year player selected in the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft, had been experiencing pain. The account describes a disagreement over his seating position, followed by an instruction to seek medical attention.
