Simmonds' (lower body) availability for Wednesday's regular season opener is "up in the air," Sam Carchidi of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports. It's unclear when Simmonds' injury occurred or where it originated, but he couldn't practice Thursday because of it. He led the team in goals last season, and should be in line to contend for that distinction again, though the injury could keep him out of the start of the season.
