  • Falcons' Justin Simmons: Officially active

    Simmons (hamstring) is active for Sunday's game against the Seahawks.

    After suffering a hamstring injury in last week's win over the Panthers, Simmons drew a questionable designation for Week 7. He was able to practice in limited fashion to close out the week, so he was seemingly trending in this direction. Barring any setbacks, look for him to take on his usual role at strong safety.

    Simmons (hamstring) remains questionable but is expected to play in Sunday's matchup with the Seahawks, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Simmons was given a questionable designation due to a hamstring injury suffered in last week's win over the Panthers. He was able to practice in limited fashion to close out the week, which was the first sign of him trending in the right direction. Still, final confirmation on his status should come closer to kickoff.

  • Falcons' Justin Simmons: Questionable for Week 7

    Head coach Raheem Morris said Friday that Simmons (hamstring) is questionable to play in Sunday's matchup against the Seahawks, Amna Subhan of the Falcons' official site reports.

    Simmons sustained a hamstring injury in the Falcons' Week 6 win over the Panthers. After sitting out practice Wednesday, Simmons practiced on a limited basis Thursday, suggesting he may be trending in the right direction ahead of Sunday's matchup. However, if Simmons isn't able to play through the pain in Week 7, expect Richie Grant to start alongside Jessie Bates in Atlanta's secondary.

  • Falcons' Justin Simmons: Able to practice Thursday

    Simmons (hamstring) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice session, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

    It's a step in the right direction for Simmons, who was unable to practice Wednesday due to a hamstring injury he picked up in Week 6 against the Panthers. Per McElhaney, head coach Raheem Morris said after the game that Simmons "should be fine" for Week 7 against the Seahawks. Friday's injury report should give a more clear indication of Simmons' status for Sunday's contest.

  • Falcons' Justin Simmons: Picks off Mahomes on SNF

    Simmons posted five tackles (two solo) and an interception during Sunday's 22-17 loss to the Chiefs.

    Simmons recorded his first interception as a Falcon during the first quarter. He has picked off Patrick Mahomes six times in his career, including in four straight meetings between the two. No other player has intercepted the two-time MVP more than twice. Simmons was a late addition to Atlanta's defense this offseason but has fit in seamlessly, posting 13 tackles and two pass defenses, including Sunday's pick, while playing nearly every defensive snap through three games.

    Head coach Raheem Morris told reporters Thursday that he expects Simmons to be ready for the Falcons' Week 1 game against the Steelers, Marc Raimondi of ESPN.com reports.

    Simmons inked a one-year, $8 million deal with the Falcons just two weeks ago, but he's still expected to be ready to play in Atlanta's Week 1 contest Sept. 8. The veteran safety appeared in 15 regular-season games with the Broncos last season, recording 70 total tackles and eight passes defended, including three interceptions, while receiving second-team All-Pro honors. He and Jessie Bates are expected to be one of, if not the best, safety duos in the entire league in 2024.
