How the left side of the line fares against Steve Spagnuolo&#8217;s defense will tell us a lot about what we can expect.<\/p>\n<p>But those are the starters, what about who is behind them?<\/p>\n<p>For CBS Sports, adding some guard competition is the biggest thing the franchise must do as training camp edges closer.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Kansas City has added some competition along its offensive line by signing Jaylon Moore and drafting Josh Simmons after trading away Joe Thuney,&#8221;\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbssports.com\/nfl\/news\/biggest-remaining-need-for-every-afc-team-jets-wide-receivers-bengals-edge-rushers-headline-list\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CBS Sports writes<\/a>. &#8220;The left guard spot vacated by Thuney is currently filled by Kingsley Suamataia. At the very least, the Chiefs should add competition in that role.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>As the roster currently stands, Mike Caliendo is the backup left guard, with undrafted rookie Dalton Cooper behind him, and behind Trey Smith is C.J. Hanson, who was a seventh-round pick in 2024.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s it, and that isn&#8217;t ideal because the Chiefs&#8217; line is one injury away from being in serious strife. Could the Chiefs look to add a veteran presence like free agents Will Hernandez or Shaq Mason?<\/p>\n<p>Sure, but the coaching staff likely wants to see what they have from the group first before making any moves, which is what most\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/athlonsports.com\/nfl\">NFL<\/a>\u00a0teams do too.<\/p>\n<p>So while the starters along the offensive line have question marks, so too do the backups, and for a team hoping to go deep into the postseason, that isn&#8217;t a great spot to be.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Kansas City Chiefs have been urged to add some competition ahead of training camp.
