Cardinals' Cody Simon: Good to go for Week 16
Simon (knee) is active for Sunday's game against Atlanta, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Simon made an early exit from last Sunday's loss to the Texans due to a knee injury. He was able to log a trio of limited practices this week and has been cleared to take the field Sunday. The rookie linebacker logged every defensive snap for Arizona from Week 10 to Week 14 and will likely take on a major role again versus the Falcons.

Cardinals' Cody Simon: Questionable for Sunday
Simon (knee) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Falcons, Bo Brack of GoPHNX.com reports.
Simon logged three consecutive limited practices this week. The middle linebacker's participation was not enough to avoid an injury designation, but it seems to be enough to indicate that he will likely suit up for Sunday's contest. If the fourth-round rookie is unable to play, Akeem Davis-Gaither or Zaven Collins may be asked to slide over to middle linebacker and let Owen Pappoe or Baron Browning take over another position for the corps, as other middle linebackers Mack Wilson (ribs) and J.J. Russell (concussion) are both on IR.

Cardinals' Cody Simon: Limited to open week
Simon (knee) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday, Zach Gershman of the Cardinals' official website reports.
Simon left the team's 40-20 loss to the Texans in Week 15 in the first quarter due to a knee injury, but his ability to participate at practice in any capacity to open the week is a positive sign. The linebacker will have two more chances to log a full session prior to Sunday's game against the Falcons.

Cardinals' Cody Simon: Unable to continue Sunday
Simon (knee) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's matchup against the Texans, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official sitereports.
Simon exited the game in the first quarter of Sunday's Week 15 game with a knee injury and, after further evaluation, has been ruled out for the second half against the Texans. The 23-year-old has 46 tackles (19 solo) and one pass breakup in 12 games this season. Channing Tindall will get more reps with Simon out.

Cardinals' Cody Simon: Exits with knee injury
Simon (knee) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Texans, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Simon appeared to injure his left knee in the first quarter, and he's being evaluated by medical staff to determine whether he can return. Baron Browning and Akeem Davis-Gaither are the top candidates to work with the first-team defense for as long as Simon is sidelined.

Cardinals' Cody Simon: Just three tackles vs. LAR
Simon posted three tackles (one solo) during the Cardinals' 45-17 loss to the Rams on Sunday.
Simon played every single defensive snap for a fifth consecutive game, though his three tackles were his lowest since Week 9 against the Cowboys (three). The rookie fourth-rounder has started at middle linebacker in each of the Cardinals' last five games, coinciding with the placement of Mack Wilson (ribs) on injured reserve. Simon should continue to serve in an every-down role at linebacker for as long as Wilson remains on IR.

Cardinals' Cody Simon: Tallies seven stops vs. Jags
Simon registered seven tackles (three solo), including one for a loss, during the Cardinals' 27-24 overtime loss to the Jaguars on Sunday.
Simon played every single defensive snap for a third consecutive game, and he finished tied for the third-most tackles on the Cardinals behind Jalen Thompson and Budda Baker (nine each). Simon has started at linebacker in each of Arizona's last three games, and he'll continue to do so for as long as Mack Wilson (ribs) is on injured reserve.

Cardinals' Cody Simon: Leads Arizona with 12 stops
Simon posted 12 tackles (four solo) during the Cardinals' 41-22 loss to the 49ers on Sunday.
The rookie fourth-rounder was busy in the second start of his NFL career, leading the Cardinals with 12 stops. With Mack Wilson (ribs) placed on injured reserve prior to Sunday's contest, Simon should serve as the Cardinals' starting middle linebacker for at least the next three games and for as long as the former is on IR.

Cardinals' Cody Simon: Iffy for Monday night
The Cardinals added Simon to their injury report and list him as questionable for Monday's game against the Cowboys due to an illness, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Arizona will likely see how Simon is feeling closer to the game's 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff before deciding whether or not to make him active for the contest. A fourth-pick out of Ohio State, Simon is a depth linebacker who has played almost exclusively on special teams during his rookie season.

Cardinals' Cody Simon: Active in Week 6
Simon (knee) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Colts, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official website reports.
Simon was a limited participant in practice all week following a knee injury sustained in the Week 5 loss to the Titans. The rookie fourth-rounder has been predominantly a special teams player, logging 63 special teams snaps to only three defensive ones. His return also bolsters the linebacker depth of a banged-up corps, with starter Mack Wilson (hamstring) active despite logging limited practice all week.

Cardinals' Cody Simon: Iffy to play Week 6
Simon (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Colts, Bo Brack of GoPHNX.com reports.
Simon was limited in practice all week due to a knee injury that he picked up during the Cardinals' Week 5 loss to the Titans. The rookie fourth-rounder has been mostly used on special teams this season, but his return would fortify the Cardinals' linebacker corps that could be without starter Mack Wilson (ankle).

Simon (concussion) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game in San Francisco, Tyler Drake of ArizonaSports.com reports.
Simon suffered a concussion Week 1 and sat out a Week 2 win against the Panthers as a result. He then capped this week with back-to-back full practices and was cleared to return to action on the Cardinals' final Week 3 injury report. Simon, a rookie fourth-round pick, likely will be contained to special-teams duty Sunday.
