Impact Simmons isn't listed on the injury report after sitting out last week's matchup, but it's unclear how the taped ankle will affect his availability. Trinidad Chambliss will start at quarterback for the third straight week while Simmons will likely serve as the backup or an emergency option.

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.

Ankle injury still problem Simmons (ankle) is still recovering from his injury, Pete Nakos of On3.com reports.

Impact Simmons' ongoing injury may again cause a DNP. For the Mississippi team, its next game still Saturday against LSU, Ole Miss' starting quarterback likely remains Trinidad Chambliss. Yet recently, their head coach Lane Kiffin announced that a healthy Simmons is QB1. "We'll have to evaluate (Simmons') health and then make a decision. Today (either Monday or Tuesday) was just a walkthrough, so not enough to evaluate. But at 100 percent, he was our starting quarterback," Kiffin said.

Impact The quarterback was expected to only be available in an emergency role for the Rebels, and luckily for Ole Miss it didn't need him in an easy win over Tulane. In his stead, Trinidad Chambliss started and played well, tossing for over 300 yards and rushing for over 100. Now, Simmons will look to be available for a huge matchup with LSU.

Unlikely to contribute Week 4 Simmons (ankle) is unlikely to contribute significantly in Saturday's game against Tulane, Griffin McVeigh of On3.com reports.

Impact Like Week 3, at best, Simmons may be available in an emergency role. On the other hand, the role is why Simmons is unlikely to contribute significantly in Week 4. Week 3 saw Simmons throw a touchdown pass, which aggravated his ankle injury in the process. Despite the Mississippi team's head coach Ole Kiffin showing optimism about Simmons being available Week 4, it looks like Trinidad Chambliss will log another start, this time against Tulane.

Expected to start vs. Tulane Simmons (ankle) is expected to start for Ole Miss against Tulane, per Michael Katz of the Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal.

Impact Simmons played in Ole Miss' loss to Arkansas, but only had one pass (which ended up being a touchdown) and one carry for 8 yards. Trinidad Chambliss took the majority of the reps at gunslinger, but head coach Lane Kiffin doesn't expect that to be the case as the Rebels look to knock-off a pesky Tulane squad Saturday before getting into the thick of SEC play.

Game-time decision Saturday Simmons (foot) is a game-time decision for Saturday's game against Arkansas, Pete Thamel of ESPN reports.

Impact According to a follow-up from Thamel, Simmons spent time in a walking boot this week, which explains why he popped up on Mississippi's injury report earlier for the Arkansas game. Even though the quarterback was removed from Ole Miss' injury report for said game, the team will monitor him one final time in pre-game warmups before deciding his availability for Week 3. In a high-stakes SEC matchup, it is imperative that the Rebels have their top man under center, that being Simmons.

Cleared to play Simmons is off the injury report heading into Saturday's game against Arkansas, Pete Nakos of On3.com reports.

Impact Simmons made a brief appearance on the team's injury report but is good to go heading into key clash against Arkansas. Simmons has struggled early on throwing four interceptions and three touchdowns while completing 60 percent of his passes.

Pops up on injury report Simmons (undisclosed) is listed as probable for Ole Miss' clash with Arkansas.

Impact Whatever the quarterback is dealing with that landed him on the Rebels' injury report, it has yet to be reported to the public. It still seems likely that the gunslinger, who's struggled through two games this season to the tune of a 3:4 touchdown-to-interception ratio, will manage to play against the Hogs.
