Kansas City Chiefs’ left tackle disaster continues and raises red flags: Will Jaylon Moore and Josh Simmons sink Patrick Mahomes? | NFL News – The Times of India
The 2025 NFL draft has come and gone, and while a lot of focus was on the standout picks, there remains a significant question looming over the Kansas City Chiefs‘ roster: Have they solved their long-standing problem at left tackle? After years of struggling to find consistency at this crucial position, the Chiefs used both free agency and the draft to address their offensive line issues. However, the results remain uncertain. Can their latest moves provide the stability the team desperately needs?
Chiefs hope Jaylon Moore and Josh Simmons can finally fill the void at left tackle
In an attempt to shore up their left tackle position, the Chiefs signed Jaylon Moore in free agency and selected Ohio State’s Josh Simmons in the first round. While both players bring promise, they also come with a set of questions that could affect their impact on the team.
Moore, a career backup with limited starting experience, will now be thrust into a critical role. The big question is: Can he transition from a reserve player to an effective starter for one of the most high-profile teams in the NFL? If Moore can step up and prove himself, he could finally give the Chiefs the stability they need on the left side of their offensive line.
On the other hand, Simmons brings raw talent but also comes with a significant concern: a torn patella. The injury, which has raised questions about his long-term durability, means the Chiefs will have to wait and see if Simmons can fully recover and live up to his potential. With such a key injury history, there’s legitimate concern about whether Simmons can avoid future setbacks and become the cornerstone left tackle the Chiefs have been searching for.
What happens if Jaylon Moore and Josh Simmons fail to live up to expectations?
If both players fail to meet expectations, the Chiefs could find themselves back at square one, trying to patch up the left tackle spot mid-season. The left tackle position is crucial to the success of the entire offense, as protecting quarterback Patrick Mahomes’ blindside is paramount for the Chiefs to continue competing at the highest level.
The Chiefs have managed to overcome this problem in recent seasons by finding solutions elsewhere on the line, but a continued weakness at left tackle could jeopardize their Super Bowl aspirations. With Mahomes’ mobility, the Chiefs’ offense is dangerous—but leaving him vulnerable at such an important position could ultimately derail their efforts to reclaim the Lombardi Trophy.

The Chiefs are clearly hoping that their draft picks and free-agent signing will finally provide an answer to their left tackle woes. Time will tell if Jaylon Moore and Josh Simmons can make their mark and solidify the position. Until then, it remains one of the most pressing questions for the franchise in the 2025 season.

We are once again starting the day with showers and storms. Rainfall will be heavy at times but severe weather is not expected with the activity that will swing through this morning. If it does happen to be dry where you are, you should still be prepared to experience some wet weather.
There will not be as much moisture around during the afternoon but there will still be some spotty showers and storms around, especially between Central and Eastern Kansas.
Most afternoon highs will still be below the norm but will also show some signs of warming where temperatures will reach the 70s.
Late evening storms will build into the southern half of the area. This will start after sundown.
These storms could become strong to severe. Wind and hail are the main threats.
Storm strength and severity will need to be monitored into the overnight. However, they should gradually start to weaken after that.
Some showers will linger into Saturday but the afternoon will not be as damp.
Highs tomorrow will be similar to today’s in the 60s and 70s.
We will once again need to watch out for some evening storms. They will move in from the west.
A sliver of Southwest Kansas and portions of the Oklahoma Panhandle could experience a strong to severe storm.
Any showers and thunderstorms will struggle to make it through the overnight. For the first time in a few days, early risers Sunday will start the day rain-free.
The rest of Memorial Day Weekend will be drier and warmer. However, another unsettled stretch follows.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (KCTV) – A former PTA treasurer from Lee’s Summit has pleaded guilty to nine counts of bank and wire fraud after stealing more than $100,000 from the organization, according to federal officials.
Officials said Holly Mikkelsen could face up to 30 years in federal prison without parole.
From Aug. 17, 2020, to July 23, 2025, Mikkelsen served as treasurer of the Summit Pointe Elementary School Parent Teacher Association (SPE PTA) in Kansas City, Missouri. The group is a nonprofit, school-based volunteer organization.
Prosecutors said that while serving as treasurer, Mikkelsen made unauthorized withdrawals from the PTA’s checking accounts for her personal benefit. Investigators said the alleged theft included writing and signing checks in the nonprofit’s name payable to herself, using those funds for personal expenses, withdrawing cash from ATMs, and transferring SPE PTA money into her personal accounts.
“The council is taking immediate steps to strengthen financial accountability across all affiliated PTAs, including a full review of existing protocols, dual authorization requirements for financial transactions, board financial training, and consistent audit practices district-wide,” said Lorenzo Harrison, Council President of LSR7 PTA. “The community will be kept informed as this process moves forward.”
Sentencing for Mikkelsen is scheduled for Sept. 24.
