Taylor will play right tackle during OTAs, Sam McDowell of The Kansas City Star reports.
Taylor joined the Chiefs in March via free agency, and it was expected he may move to left tackle after playing on the right side with the Jaguars. However, it appears, at least for now, that Donovan Smith will get the first crack at protecting Patrick Mahomes' blindside, while Taylor will man the right tackle spot.

Chiefs' Jawaan Taylor: Lands with Chiefs on four-year pact
Rotowire
The Chiefs will agree to terms with Taylor on a four-year, $80 million contract this week, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports.
Taylor and Mike McGlinchey were among the premier tackles available in free agency, and both landed in the AFC West after McGlinchey agreed to terms with the Broncos. The 25-year-old Taylor has played right tackle in the NFL, but he figures to slide to the left side with the Chiefs, as this signing signals the Chiefs are out on free agent tackle Orlando Brown after two seasons. Taylor has never missed a start since being drafted No. 35 overall by the Jaguars in 2019.
