Good to go against Houston Simmons (hamstring) is active for Sunday's game against the Texans.

Impact Simmons has been cleared to return from a two-game absence due to a hamstring injury. His return should boost the Titans' defensive front, though less rotational snaps will be available for James Lynch, Shy Tuttle and C.J. Ravenell. Prior to his injury, Simmons posted 30 tackles (21 solo), including 4.5 sacks, and one forced fumble across seven regular-season games.

Trending toward returning Sunday Simmons, who is listed as questionable for Sunday's tilt against the Texans due to a hamstring issue, is expected to suit up, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Impact Simmons missed each of Tennessee's past two games while tending to a hamstring injury. The Titans were on bye last week, and Simmons was able to log a DNP/LP/LP practice progression this week. That apparently has him geared up to play versus Houston on Sunday. If that's the case, it will be a big boost to Tennessee's pass rush, as Simmons has 4.5 sacks in the seven games he's played so far this season.

Officially questionable for Week 11 Simmons (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Texans, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Impact Simmons ended the week with back-to-back limited practices, and he has a chance to return Sunday from a two-game absence due to a hamstring injury he sustained against the Patriots in Week 7. His return would mean less defensive snaps would be available for the likes of James Lynch, Shy Tuttle and C.J. Ravenell (ankle). Simmons' status for Sunday's AFC South tilt may not be officially known until the Titans announce their list of inactive players approximately 90 minutes before the 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff.

Limited Thursday Simmons (hamstring) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Impact Simmons sat out practice Wednesday, so to see him upgrade to limited reps is a positive sign. The standout pass rusher hasn't played since Week 7 due to a lingering hamstring issue. The extent of his practice activity Friday may determine Simmon's availability, or lack thereof, for Sunday's home game against Houston.

Doesn't practice Wednesday Simmons (hamstring) didn't participate in Tennessee's practice Wednesday, Jim Wyatt of the team's official site reports.

Impact Simmons continues to deal with the hamstring injury that has sidelined him for the team's last two outings. If the 28-year-old ends up being unable to play in Sunday's matchup versus the Titans, C.J. Ravenell should once again see an expanded role.

Out for Week 8 Simmons (hamstring) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Colts, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Impact Simmons was unable to practice both Wednesday and Thursday after sustaining a hamstring injury in Tennessee's Week 7 loss to the Patriots, so it's no surprise that he'll be unavailable Sunday. While he's sidelined in Week 8, expect C.J. Ravenell and James Lynch (shoulder) to see increased snaps with the Titans' first-team defense.

Labeled as week-to-week Interim head coach Mike McCoy told reporters Wednesday that Simmons (hamstring) is considered week-to-week, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Impact The All-Pro defensive lineman sustained a hamstring injury early into the Titans' Week 7 loss to the Patriots and is now expected to be sidelined for the immediate future. Simmons has appeared in all seven of Tennessee's games this season, recording 30 total tackles, including 4.5 sacks, and one forced fumble. James Lynch is likely to operate as one of the Titans' starting interior defensive linemen until Simmons returns from injury.
