Breaking News:Andy Reid announces Kansas City Chiefs star has been officially benched as Travis Kelce continues NFL season struggles..See More 👇

ANDY REID has announced a Kansas City Chiefs star has already been benched – just three games into the season.

The Super Bowl-winning head coach has overseen a promising start to 2024-25 in his quest for a record three rings in a row.

They are 3-0 and completed another huge win on the road on Sunday, beating the Atlanta Falcons 22-17.

However, the Chiefs left tackle position has been an area of concern, causing major disruption.

Neither Kingsley Suamataia nor second-year star Wanya Morris have had strong starts to the season.

But Reid announced his decision on the position on Monday, which is sure to come under scrutiny if it goes wrong.

He said Morris would start their Week 4 game against the Los Angeles Chargers.

This means Suamataia has been officially benched, with his future at left tackle now uncertain.

It is only the 21-year-old’s first season in the NFL after being drafted in the second round at number 63.

And it is clear the youngster needs time to develop, working alongside top coaches after his time in college.

He was a standout at BYU, and named All-Independent First Team Offense by College Football Network.

But Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes has been under huge pressure this season from the blindside.

That has led to the tough decision by Reid.

“I thought Wanya did some good things in there”, Reid said.

“We’ll probably stick with that.

“Kingsley rotated in and played some tight end and was able to get some good reps.”

The move by the Chiefs comes with Travis Kelce suffering a tough start to the season.

The future Hall of Fame tight end has not been up to his usual high standards so far.

He had just four catches for 30 yards against the Falcons on Sunday evening.

And he has just 69 yards across the three games combined, a poor return by his standards.

Kelce was spotted looking miserable on the bench by live CBS TV cameras during the win.

But that could also be down to his popstar girlfriend Taylor Swift missing the showdown after being spotted in New York.

A source exclusively told The U.S. Sun that Taylor couldn’t make it to Sunday night’s game as she was busy with Eras tour preparations.

The source added that “she plans to return to the next game to support Travis.”
