The Titans also moved on from defensive lineman Freedom Akinmoladun, linebacker Cassh Maluia, and defensive backs Nate Brooks and Clayton Geathers. Teams must get to a 53-man roster by Tuesday afternoon so expect many more cuts to come rolling in through the next few days. Simon started 16 games for the Patriots last year but only recorded two sacks. He could land with another team as a depth option at some point this year.

Simon avoided missing his first game of the year, and he's slated to start at defensive end in this contest. The 29-year-old has recorded 22 tackles, three sacks and four pass breakups this year.

Simon was added to the Patriots' injury report Thursday after a limited practice session. He remained limited Friday and will now be a game-time decision Sunday. Chase Winovich and Deatrich Wise will be in line for extra work if Simon ends up being unable to play.

Simon was still able to get in a limited practice Thursday, but his status bears watching. Chase Winovich and Deatrich Wise would be the likely recipients of extra playing time if the former Buckeye can't go.
