Avoids serious injury
Head coach Raheem Morris told reporters Monday that Simmons (hamstring) "should be fine," Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
The first-year Falcon exited Sunday's win over the Panthers with a hamstring injury, but Morris' comments Monday suggest that Simmons avoided a serious issue. Simmons' practice participation throughout the week will provide a better indication of his potential availability in Week 7, when the Falcons host the Seahawks.

The veteran safety missed five games last season due to injury, but that didn't stop him from pulling down a career-high six interceptions while maintaining a tackle pace that would have netted him 90 stops on 1,000 snaps. Simmons has 20 picks the last four seasons as one of the league's top ballhawks at his position, and new defensive coordinator Vance Joseph has spent the last few years getting the most out of Budda Baker and Jalen Thompson. Given that his contract has little remaining guaranteed money on it, Simmons figures to be playing for a new deal in 2023.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Getting look from Atlanta
Simmons will visit with the Falcons on Monday and Tuesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Atlanta just lost second-year safety DeMarco Hellams to a leg injury in Friday's preseason game against Miami, and the team isn't wasting much time looking for a replacement, if not an upgrade. Simmons is a four-time second-team All-Pro with the Broncos, and he made the Pro Bowl in 2023, so the 30-year-old would appear to have plenty left in the tank despite being released in March for cap reasons.
