Chiefs' Kingsley Suamataia to compete for left guard with Mike Caliendo

KANSAS CITY, Mo. - Who will fill the hole at left guard for the Kansas City Chiefs after Joe Thuney's departure this offseason?

Well, head coach Andy Reid spoke to the media on Monday and said Kingsley Suamataia and Mike Caliendo will compete for the left guard spot in training camp.

Suamataia spent most of his rookie season at left tackle, where he struggled. The switch to guard could be much more beneficial. He started at left guard in the Chiefs last regular season game last season against the Denver Broncos, in which he fared well.

"When we brought [Sumataia] in, we knew he had that flexibility, we just felt that way athletically. He is a very good athlete, he can run and he can pass block, do all the things that he needs to do," Reid said.

"He'll start [at guard] with Mike Caliendo. They'll compete for that spot."

Thuney got a majority of snaps at left guard last season before moving to left tackle to close out the season. He was traded to the Chicago Bears in March.

The Chiefs signed former San Francisco 49ers left tackle Jaylon Moore to hopefully give them a long-term answer at the position.

They are looking to revamp an offensive line that struggled immensely against Philadelphia in Super Bowl LIV.

The starting offensive line could be Trey Smith, Creed Humphrey, Moore, Jawaan Taylor and Suamataia or Caliendo going into next season. They could also look for someone to challenge for a starting spot in the draft.
