At the center of it all for the Chiefs isn't quarterback Patrick Mahomes, but Super Bowl LX MVP Kenneth Walker III, who faces his former team for the first time. Walker has been the heartbeat of Kansas City's offense since signing a three-year deal this offseason reportedly worth up to $45 million . So far, he's proven worth every penny, sitting one shy of his career high of nine total touchdowns while leading the league in rushing yards and yards per attempt heading into Week 7.
The Seahawks find themselves off to a 3-3 start, dropping three of their past four games. Seattle has struggled to find a rhythm in the run game since Walker's departure, as first-round rookie Jadarian Price landed on injured reserve with a chest injury and Zach Charbonnet works his way back from an ACL injury suffered last season.
Those struggles have taken a toll on quarterback Sam Darnold, who has regressed almost across the board, with drops in completion percentage (60.4%), touchdown rate (4.7%) and yards per attempt (6.9) compared with last season, along with a career-high interception rate (4.7%).
Follow along with Yahoo Sports for live updates, highlights and more as the Seattle Seahawks host the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 7.
Kansas City Chiefs offensive tackle Josh Simmons was reportedly kicked out of a team meeting by Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes prior to being placed on injured reserve, according to NFL Network. The incident occurred Wednesday. A day later, Simmons was put on IR.
During a Wednesday team meeting, Simmons was reportedly sitting with his feet up. Chiefs coach Andy Reid asked Simmons to put his feet down, to which Simmons reportedly responded that his back and hips were bothering him and he had to sit that way. Reid then told Simmons to go receive treatment if he was hurting.
The pair continued to discuss the issue until Patrick Mahomes also told Simmons to leave and go get treatment. The 23-year-old offensive lineman did leave the room, though stayed at Chiefs' facilities.
Later that day, Simmons apologized to Reid and Chiefs leadership, per NFL Network.
With less than 90 minutes remaining until the Kansas City Chiefs and Seattle Seahawks kick off on "Sunday Night Football," each team has announced its Week 9 inactives. Here's a look:
