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...

Impact 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.

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.

Impact 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.

Impact 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).

Impact Simon may have taken a hit to the head late in the second half on a kickoff return.
