The Kansas City Chiefs’ offensive line had a slight shake-up on Sunday night, as Wanya Morris started at left tackle.
During his weekly Monday Zoom press conference, Chiefs head coach Andy Reid addressed the ongoing discussions surrounding the starting left tackle spot.
“I thought Wanya (Morris) did some good things in there, so we’ll probably stick with that same thing you saw, where Kingsley (Suamataia) rotated in and played some tight end,” said Reid. “So he was able to get some good reps in there, and then again, one day, had the good reps at the left tackle spot.
As Reid said, Suamataia was used sparingly in big formations, but it isn’t guaranteed that either player will swap for each other if necessary.
“So, do they both have stuff to work on? Yes, so we’ll keep their young guys in a tough position with a tough go here, and they’ve got another good one coming here this week,” said Reid. “So they’ve got a prep for a couple of good ones. So we’ve got to make sure we keep growing. But they’re surely getting tested early.”
The back-and-forth between two talented young players will likely be an ongoing discussion throughout the season.
