Kansas City beat the\u00a0Denver Broncos\u00a016-14 at home in Week 10 in thrilling fashion thanks to a blocked field goal attempt with time expiring.<\/p>\n

However, the Chiefs received disappointing results from rookie left tackle Kingsley Suamataia.<\/p>\n

The 21-year-old Suamataia had filled in for injured teammate Wanya Morris in the second and third quarters, allowing four pressures to Denver’s Nik Bonitto, per\u00a0NFL Next Gen Stats.<\/p>\n

Morris did return in the fourth quarter after suffering a knee injury, but the back-to-back defending Super Bowl champion squad revealed a potential depth weakness at the position.<\/p>\n

During a press conference on Monday,\u00a0Reid\u00a0was asked about adding an outside free agent and he revealed that general manager Brett Veach will make a final decision on that front.<\/p>\n

“He looks at everything. I\u2019m not going to say, ‘No,'” Reid said of a potential signing of a left tackle, per\u00a0The Kansas City Star.<\/p>\n

“But what we do as coaches \u2014 and we\u2019ve overemphasized \u2014 we\u2019re going to focus in on these kids that are here.”<\/p>\n

Reid did reveal a promising injury update on Morris on Monday, saying that the second-year player would “end up being OK when it’s all said and down here as far as his leg goes.”<\/p>\n

Morris was out of Sunday’s game for a little over 30 game minutes after he had his knee rolled up on by a Broncos defender.<\/p>\n

Kansas City could look to sign a familiar face in 31-year-old Donovan Smith, who played left tackle for the team last season and remains a free agent.<\/p>\n

The Chiefs could also sign former\u00a0Green Bay Packers\u00a0All-Pro David Bakhtiari, who’s 33 years old and remains unsigned.<\/p>\n

Reid did provide confidence in his young offensive linemen despite the<\/p>\n

“They\u2019re getting better. I know it\u2019s hard to see at times, but there\u2019s progress being made,” Reid said.<\/p>\n

“We\u2019re going to be OK as we go forward.”<\/p>\n

Kansas City moved to 9-0 after the latest Arrowhead win.<\/p>\n

They will face the\u00a0Buffalo Bills\u00a0next week and\u00a0Reid was asked in Sunday’s postgame conference what his message\u00a0to the team was.<\/p>\n

“There’s not much you can say,” he admitted. “The game told the story.<\/p>\n

“I haven’t been around a lot of those walk-off blocks.<\/p>\n

“I’m going to enjoy it, but I’m also going to work to fix the other things we need to fix before Buffalo.<\/p>\n

“You enjoy every one of these the best you possibly can because it’s tough in this league.”<\/p>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
