Offensive lineman Kingsley Suamataia has a "good chance" of returning to the Kansas City Chiefs' starting lineup, according to head coach Andy Reid.

During a press conference on November 4 ahead of Kansas City's upcoming matchup against the New York Jets, Reid was asked about Suamataia's status after he unexpectedly decided to sit the former BYU Cougar during the Chiefs' Week 8 loss to the Denver Broncos on Sunday.
