Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid stated that the decision to bench offensive tackle Kingsley Suamataia remains a matter between the player and himself. The comment came after the Chiefs' preseason NFL game against the Arizona Cardinals on August 9, 2025, at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona.
Suamataia, wearing number 76, appeared in the preseason contest. Reid's remarks indicate the benching was a coaching decision handled internally. The game was captured by photographer Mark J. Rebilas for Imagn Images via Reuters Connect.
