Moore will unfortunately miss this weekend’s game against the Falcons, who field a capable defensive tackle unit. Atlanta has not defended the run well, though, so the Chiefs should be able to get by without him. Chiefs CB Mansoor Delane (shoulder) is questionable to play.

Chiefs RG Trey Smith (back) joins Moore in the questionable column, while LT Josh Simmons (personal) has once again been ruled out. On the plus side, both Moore and Smith are expected to play, “barring setbacks.” This is a consequential game for the Chiefs (5-3) and the Bills (5-2) that could shift playoff seeding down the road. The Bills notably lost star DT Ed Oliver (biceps) for the season last week.

$21.24 million is fully guaranteed at signing per ESPN’s Adam Schefter. Moore has been Trent Williams’ understudy with the 49ers for the last four years after they selected him in the fifth round of the 2021 NFL Draft. He has just 831 snaps in four years with the 49ers, but finished 2024 with a 73.1 PFF pass block rating and started five games down the stretch. This is a projection contract for Moore, but the Chiefs clearly believe there’s something here. Moore will now be penciled in as Kansas City’s left tackle, protecting Patrick Mahomes’ blindside after a tough year for the trio of D.J. Humphries, Wanya Morris, and Kingsley Suamataia. Suamataia reportedly is moving to left guard this offseason.

Moore got the start at left tackle with Trent Williams sidelined. He went down in the third quarter, limped off the field, and headed straight for the blue tent. Spencer Buford has taken his spot in the lineup.
