Chiefs HC will use Jawaan Taylor on the right

Kansas City Chiefs signed Jawaan Taylor to a four-year, $80 million contract in March with the plan to start him at left tackle, but their plans are changing now.

K.C. added veteran Donovan Smith last week, a primary left tackle. Coach Andy Reid noted Monday that with the addition, Smith would open organized team activities at LT with Taylor manning the RT spot.

“He’s been a left tackle at a high level, and if you look at last year, he was hurt,” Reid said of Smith. “The year before that, he was one of the top-rated left tackles in the league. We’ve had a chance to play against him a couple times. I’ve seen him firsthand. He’ll be with the left side, yes, probably with the ones.”

Reid added on Taylor: “Yes, we’ll move him over to the right.”
