Simmons is\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/atozsports.com\/nfl\/kansas-city-chiefs-news\/josh-simmons-gives-update-on-rehab-process-of-knee-injury\/\">still recovering from the knee injury<\/a>\u00a0that prematurely ended his final season with Ohio State.

We\u2019re just kind of getting a feel of where he\u2019s at with this. He had kind of a heavy-traffic travel schedule during the 30-visit thing, so just make sure that thing\u2019s strong. He looks like he\u2019s got some talent there, Matt (Derrick) doggonit. That\u2019s a good thing, right? For what we can do. That\u2019s a plus.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The Chiefs are proceeding cautiously with Simmons, as they should. The last thing you want to happen is for the rookie to have a setback in his recovery. The fact that he can showcase his talent to Coach Reid just in the individual work is a positive sign and speaks to the progress he&#8217;s already made in his recovery.<\/p>\n<p>Simmons could be reintegrated even further when the team meets\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/atozsports.com\/nfl\/kansas-city-chiefs-news\/chiefs-andy-reid-brett-veach-cautious-knee-injury-update-timeline-josh-simmons\/\">for the first of three voluntary OTA sessions later this month<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/aside>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The\u00a0Kansas City Chiefs\u00a0will officially wrap up their three-day rookie minicamp on Monday.
