2025 Fantasy Outlook
Simon broke out as a fifth-year senior at Ohio State in 2024, helping lead the team to victory in the CFP National Championship Game with 112 tackles, including 7.0 sacks, in 15 contests. The Cardinals made a modest investment in him with a fourth-round pick in the 2025 Draft, but he may have to play the waiting game for a consistent gig behind veteran off-ball linebackers Mack Wilson and Akeem Davis-Gaither as a rookie.

Signed a four-year contract with the Cardinals in May of 2025.
Clear to return in Week 3
Simon (concussion) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game in San Francisco, Tyler Drake of ArizonaSports.com reports.
ANALYSIS
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.
