Sims (concussion) will play in Sunday's game versus the Football Team, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.
EDGE Analysis
Sims cleared the league's concussion protocol and will return to action after missing just one game. The fifth-year cornerback out of Southern Utah has struggled in coverage this year, as he's allowed 433 receiving yards and four touchdowns over six games, though he's received some tough assignments so far. He's expected to start at cornerback opposite William Jackson again Sunday.

Sims (concussion) logged a full practice session Thursday, Jay Morrison of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
After sitting out Week 10 against the Steelers, a limited practice session for Sims on Wednesday signified a step in the right direction. Sims has yet to officially clear concussion protocol, but that seems to be the lone hurdle remaining as he seeks to be activated for a Week 11 matchup against Washington. Since Week 4, Sims has started in every game that he has been active, accumulating 21 tackles and two pass deflections during that span.

Sims (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game versus the Steelers, Jay Morrison of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Sims followed the rare FP/LP/DNP practice regimen this week, and he'll ultimately sit out of a game for the first time since Week 2. He's been deployed as a starter in five straight games, and with Darius Phillips (groin) also unavailable, Mackensie Alexander and Tony Brown should both see upticks in usage Sunday.

Sims will start at cornerback in Sunday's game versus the Jaguars, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Sims will take over at outside cornerback while Darius Phillips bumps to nickel corner since Mackensie Alexander (ribs) is inactive. In Week 3, Sims suited up for the first time of the season and recorded two solo tackles and an interception against Carson Wentz and the Eagles.

Sims (personal) is inactive for Sunday's game versus the Chargers, Marisa Contipelli of the Bengals' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Although Sims rejoined the team Friday, he missed the entire week of practice, so it's unsurprising that he'll watch from the sidelines Sunday.

Sims (personal) is doubtful for Sunday's game versus the Chargers, Jay Morrison of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Sims returned to the team after leaving for personal reasons. However, he missed a full week of practice, so the cornerback isn't expected to be in the lineup Sunday.

Sims agreed Wednesday with the Bengals on a one-year contract, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Sims spent the first four seasons of his professional career playing a reserve role in Tennessee, never surpassing 20 tackles in any campaign. He'll likely be tasked with providing depth in the defensive backfield once again as he moves to Cincinnati.

Sims recorded 35 tackles and two passes defensed across 14 games with the Titans in 2019.
EDGE Analysis
Sims saw a limited role, playing behind primary corners on the team, including Logan Ryan, Adoree Jackson and Malcolm Butler. However, he managed to top 30 tackles for the second time in his four-year career. Sims has reached the end of his rookie contract and will search for a new deal with the possibility of an increased role.

Sims (ankle) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, Erik Bacharach of The Tennessean reports.
EDGE Analysis
Sims has missed two consecutive contests due to a lingering ankle injury, but he now looks back to full health. Barring any setbacks, expect the fourth-year pro to play his usual rotational role in Tennessee's secondary during Sunday's tilt against the Texans.
