Former Kansas City Chiefs star Mitchell Schwartz took to Twitter on November 12 to refute a report about injured offensive lineman Josh Simmons.
During an appearance on 96.5 The Fan earlier in the day, ESPN writer Nate Taylor said that he hadn't seen Simmons around the Chiefs' facilities since Kansas City placed the former Ohio State Buckeye on its injured reserve list.
Schwartz, on the other hand, has heard otherwise, tweeting that he had heard Simmons is "in the building" and "attacking rehab."
Take a look at Schwartz's indirect refutation of Taylor's earlier report, which was posted to the All Pro lineman's Twitter account:
This is what I’ve heard too regarding Josh Simmons, for the record. In the building (basically since right after that crazy
week,) attacking rehab, going to all the meetings, doing everything he can to get back out there, etc. https://t.co/cg6ZhCagGu

The relative opacity that the Chiefs' front office, coaching staff, and trainers have maintained regarding Simmons' injury status will likely keep providing fodder for the rumor mill as Kansas City prepares for its highly anticipated Week 10 matchup against the Atlanta Falcons at Mercedes-Benz Stadium on November 15.
