Simon is inactive for Sunday night's game against the Chiefs.

EDGE Analysis

Simon was hurt in Week 5 and wasn't able to recover in time to take on the Chiefs despite the extra rest. The 28-year-old had seen 25 defensive snaps over his past two games and made six tackles (three solo) with a sack.

Simon is questionable to return to Thursday's game against the Colts with a shoulder injury, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Simon's injury will hurt New England's depth at linebacker. Kyle Van Noy may be asked to fill in for Simon on special teams as long as he is out.

Simon recorded five tackles (two solo), including a sack in Sunday's 38-7 win over Miami.

EDGE Analysis

Simon's stat line is impressive, especially considering he signed with New England last week and was only on the field for 20 defensive snaps. He saw some additional work after Elandon Roberts exited with an undisclosed injury. Simon could see more snaps against the Colts in Week 5 if Roberts is held out or limited.

Simon signed a contract with the Patriots on Wednesday, Field Yates of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Simon lands in New England after being released by Indianapolis in the beginning of the regular season. The veteran defensive end is expected to serve as a linebacker in the Patriots' defensive scheme, providing depth to the team with Ja'Whaun Bentley (undisclosed) having been placed on injured reserve. Simon will serve as a depth and special teams player.

Simon was released by Indianapolis on Saturday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Simon injured his neck last Sunday against the 49ers and was unable to play in the team's preseason finale. The veteran defensive end was entering the second year of a three-year contract with the Colts. He'll now look to catch on with another team as a depth defensive lineman and special teams player.

Simon's neck injury is not considered serious, but he won't play in Thursday's preseason finale in Cincinnati, the Indianapolis Star reports.

EDGE Analysis

Simon left Saturday's game with a sore neck, but it sounds like the Colts were playing it safe. The injury may be a worry, however, considering Simon missed the final seven games of the 2017 season with a neck injury.

Simon (neck) will not return to Saturday's game against the Ravens, Andrew Walker of the Colts' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

While the severity of this injury is yet to be confirmed, this simply isn't good news considering Simon missed the final seven games of the 2017 season with a neck injury.

Simon (undisclosed) made one tackle, one sack and two quarterback hits during Monday's preseason game against the Ravens.

EDGE Analysis

Simon is battling Jabaal Sheard, who has the edge in the pass-rushing department, for snaps at defensive end. However, Simon showed he can get to the quarterback, so he'll earn additional snaps if that can translate to the regular season.

Simon was sidelined for part of Sunday's practice due to cramps, Andrew Walker of the Colts' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Simon's injury doesn't appear to be severe for the time being. The backup defensive end is coming off of a 1.5 sack effort in Thursday's preseason game against Seattle and will look to get back on the field in the near future.

Simon had 1.5 sacks and three tackles in Thursday's preseason win at Seattle.

EDGE Analysis

Simon had been bothered by a groin injury in training camp, but it doesn't look like a serious problem. Simon was moved to a 4-3 defensive end role and it was thought his roster spot was in jeopardy, but his play Thursday made it seem more like he could win a significant role again.
