Not listed on SEC injury report Simmons (ankle) isn't listed on Ole Miss' injury report ahead of Week 8 against Georgia.

Impact Simmons' absence from the injury report indicates that he'll be available to play against Georgia should the Rebels need him. With how well backup quarterback Trinidad Chambliss has played since taking over for the injured Simmons, however, it remains unknown how Ole Miss will handle its quarterback situation. The good news? Both signal callers look to be available in the Rebels' biggest game yet.

Impact Simmons has been sidelined since suffering an ankle injury in Week 3 against Arkansas. In his absence, Trinidad Chambliss has been impressive, passing for 300 yards in three of four games while making a positive impact on the ground. Chambliss's success has muddied the quarterback situation, and it's not a given that Simmons will be under center Saturday, even if he's at full health.

Off injury report Simmons is off the injury report ahead of Saturday's game versus LSU.

Impact Simmons, who missed last week's contest due to an ankle injury, is off the injury report ahead of Saturday's contest versus LSU. He has not started since Week 2 due to his injury, but he has also not always been included on the team's injury reports despite ultimately missing time. He could very well be available in an emergency role for Saturday's contest, but it would not be surprising if Trinidad Chambliss made his third consecutive start.
