Good to go Week 18 Simmons (ankle) does not carry an injury designation ahead of Saturday's game against the Jaguars, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Impact Simmons missed his second game of the season due to a lingering ankle injury during the Week 17 loss to Dallas on Thursday Night Football. The 25-year-old then remained limited in all three of Tennessee's practices of Week 18 prep, though he'll still be ready to suit up for his seventh game in the last nine weeks. Simmons ranks second on the team in sacks this season with 7.5, so his availability will be a significant boost as the Titan's poor pass defense tries to slow down Jacksonville quarterback Trevor Lawrence with the AFC South title on the line Saturday.

Remains limited Wednesday Simmons (ankle) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Impact Simmons missed Week 17 due to a lingering ankle issue, which also sidelined him for Week 10. However, he's logged back-to-back limited sessions to start Week 18 prep and will have a good chance to suit up Saturday against the Jaguars. He'll have one more chance to submit a full session before Tennessee needs to make a decision on his status for the divisional matchup.

Not playing Thursday Simmons (ankle) will be out Thursday against the Cowboys, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Impact Simmons has been dealing with an ankle injury for the majority of the season, which forced him to also miss Week 10 against the Broncos. With the team on a short week, Simmons will be unable to recover in time to take the field. In his absence, Mario Edwards and Kevin Strong should each get extra opportunities against Dallas.

Notches sack in loss Simmons recorded six tackles (four solo), including one sack, in Sunday's 17-14 loss to the Chargers.

Impact Simmons finished as the Titans' second-leading tackler behind cornerback Greg Mabin, and he also contributed one of the team's three sacks against Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert. The defensive end has dealt with an ankle injury over the past five weeks, though he still played a season-high 93 percent of Tennessee's defensive snaps Sunday. Simmons is now seven tackles and one sack away from matching his career highs in both of these categories, and he should have a chance to reach these marks against Houston's struggling offense Week 16.

Gets green light for Week 14 Simmons (ankle) is active for Sunday's matchup against the Jaguars.

Impact Simmons continues to battle an ankle injury, but he'll suit up for a fourth consecutive contest. The fourth-year defensive end has totaled 41 tackles, 6.5 sacks, five pass defenses and one forced fumble across 11 appearances this year.

Iffy for Sunday Simmons (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's matchup against the Jaguars, Ben Arthur of FoxSports.com reports.

Impact Simmons didn't practice Thursday and was limited Wednesday and Friday due to a lingering ankle injury. This marks a fourth consecutive game that Simmons has received a questionable designation, and given he's suited up in each of the previous three contests, it seems likely he'll be available again in Week 14. However, fantasy managers are still encouraged to confirm Simmons' status ahead of Sunday's 1:00 PM ET kickoff.
