Simon (neck) won't play Sunday against the Bengals.
EDGE Analysis
Simon has been a solid part of an otherwise shaky defense, posting 39 tackles and three sacks through seven games. Barkevious Mingo will slot into the top outside linebacker position, and his pass-rush skills should suffice for the time being.

Simon (neck) is considered week-to-week going forward, George Bremer of The Anderson Herald Bulletin reports.
EDGE Analysis
Simon, who sustained a neck stinger this past Sunday, didn't practice Wednesday and is unlikely to play Sunday in Cincinnati. While his timeline for a return isn't clear, he appears set for a multi-week absence given the seriousness of head/neck injuries.

EDGE Analysis
Simon blocked a pass attempt at the line and was able to keep hold of it for a touchdown. The interception is a rarity, but the sacks should continue as he's put consistent pressure on the quarterback.

Simon started at strong-side linebacker and had six tackles and a tackle for a loss in Sunday's loss to the Rams.
EDGE Analysis
Simon didn't provide much of a pass rush in his debut with the Colts, which is supposed to be his strength. He may get a chance to post decent tackle totals on a defense that may struggle to get off the field.
