Chiefs rule Josh Simmons out for Sunday

Details
17 October 2025

Chiefs rookie offensive tackle Josh Simmons will miss his second straight game.

The Chiefs ruled Simmons out on Friday due to the personal reasons that kept him from playing against the Lions last Sunday as well. Simmons did not practice at all this week and there's been no word on when he might be back with the team.

Jaylon Moore started in place of Simmons in the win over the Lions.

Running back Breshard Smith was the only other player to miss any practice time for the Chiefs this week. He was out on Wednesday with an illness, but fully participated the last two days and has no injury designation for Sunday's game against the Raiders. That is the case for every Chiefs player other than Simmons as well.

Cowboys' Trevon Diggs out against Commanders after accident at home lands him in concussion protocol

Details
17 October 2025

The Dallas Cowboys are giving up the second-most points per game this season, and their 6.2 yards per play allowed are third most in the league.

And now, after discussing a plan to play more man-to-man coverage, they'll be down one of their starting outside cornerbacks Sunday against the Washington Commanders.

Trevon Diggs is out and in concussion protocol after an accident at his home Thursday, Cowboys head coach Brian Schottenheimer told reporters Friday.

Schottenheimer explained that Diggs had concussion symptoms when he arrived at the team facility Friday. The two-time Pro Bowler was checked out by the Cowboys' medical staff.

Schottenheimer said he didn't know the details of the accident.

“It’s part of the business,” Schottenheimer said, via The Athletic. “It’s unfortunate. Obviously want what’s best for Trevon. Certainly am wishing him well. But again, next man up. 

"We’ve got guys that we’re excited about getting a chance to evaluate. This is the NFL. If you’re unsure of what is going to happen, just wait, because something is going to happen and you deal with it. You don’t lose sleep over it."

Schottenheimer added: "The biggest thing is just the concern for Trevon and that he’s OK, and it seems like he is."

Kaiir Elam, a 2022 first-round pick of the Buffalo Bills who is in his first season with Dallas, is expected to start in Diggs' place, opposite of DaRon Bland.

The Cowboys traded for Elam in March, and he played at least 59 defensive snaps in each of the first four games of the season, according to Pro Football Focus. Like Diggs, Elam is conceding a reception percentage north of 70% right now, per PFF, which has both of them down for three touchdowns allowed.

Diggs was a first-team All-Pro in 2021. That's when he broke out as the NFL's interceptions leader.

Of his 11 interceptions that season, two were pick 6s. 

Diggs signed a five-year, $97 million extension ahead of the 2023 season, which he missed most of because of a torn ACL. He's been trying to return to Pro Bowl form since.

Jake Matthews, Darnell Mooney questionable to play for the Falcons

Details
17 October 2025

We'll have to wait until Sunday to find out if Falcons left tackle Jake Matthews will extend his streak of consecutive starts to 184 games.

Matthews hurt his ankle in last Monday's win over the Bills and he has been listed as questionable to play against the 49ers. Michael Jerrell stepped in at left tackle after the injury.

Wide receiver Darnell Mooney is also set to be a game-time decision on Sunday night. Mooney did not play in Week 6 due to a hamstring injury.

Tight end Feleipe Franks (calf) and defensive line Ta'Quon Graham (calf) are also listed as questionable.

The Falcons will not have edge rusher Jalon Walker (groin), cornerback Clark Phillips (triceps, illness), safety Jordan Fuller (knee), cornerback Billy Bowman (hamstring), and wide receiver Ray-Ray McCloud (non injury related). All five players have been ruled out.
