Wanya Morris starts at left tackle for Chiefs, rookie Kingsley Suamataia on the bench

Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes will have a new left tackle to protect tonight against the Falcons.

Wanya Morris will start at left tackle and rookie left tackle Kingsley Suamataia will start has been put on the benchaccording to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.

In last week’s win over the Bengals, Morris was most notable for catching a touchdown pass on a goal-line play while playing tight end, but he also took over the left tackle position late in the game as the Chiefs grew frustrated with Suamataia’s poor play. Chiefs coach Andy Reid declined to name a starter during the week, but indicated that both Morris and Suamataia will play.

The 21-year-old Suamataia played one year of college football at Oregon and two at BYU before the Chiefs took him with the 63rd overall pick this year. He has the size and raw talent to be an NFL left tackle, but he hasn’t looked up to the task so far this season.

Falcons outside linebacker Matt Judon will be tough on Mahomes tonight and the Chiefs will be hoping their offensive line is ready.
