Dominant in win over Bears Simmons had three solo tackles, one pass defensed, one forced fumble and a fumble recovery during Sunday's 24-17 win over the Bears.

Impact Simmons displayed the abilities that made him a first-round selection in the 2019 NFL Draft during Sunday's contest, putting constant pressure on Nick Foles even if it didn't directly translate to the stat sheet. His forced fumble of David Montgomery in the third quarter was likewise more impactful in context, as it allowed Desmond King to scoop up the ball for a 63-yard touchdown that would prove the difference in Tennessee's victory. Simmons has been named the AFC Defensive Player of the Week for his efforts.

Ready for Week 9 Simmons (ankle) won't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game versus the Bears, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Impact Simmons returned to practice Friday in a limited fashion, and he showed enough to be cleared for Sunday's outing. The 2019 first-round pick is having a solid campaign, as he's recorded 25 tackles, two sacks and 11 quarterback pressures through six games. He has a decent chance to add to his sack total this week, as the Bears' offensive line has struggled and Nick Foles has been sacked on 5.3 percent of his dropbacks.
