Likely playing Week 1
Head coach Raheem Morris told reporters Thursday that he expects Simmons to be ready for the Falcons' Week 1 game against the Steelers, Marc Raimondi of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Simmons inked a one-year, $8 million deal with the Falcons just two weeks ago, but he's still expected to be ready to play in Atlanta's Week 1 contest Sept. 8. The veteran safety appeared in 15 regular-season games with the Broncos last season, recording 70 total tackles and eight passes defended, including three interceptions, while receiving second-team All-Pro honors. He and Jessie Bates are expected to be one of, if not the best, safety duos in the entire league in 2024.

Logan Wilson and the Bengals get a cupcake matchup to start the season, hosting a Patriots offense with shaky blocking, poor pass catchers and Jacoby Brissett under center.

In coach Sean Payton's second season with the Broncos, there's a good chance his offense will be led by first-round rookie quarterback Bo Nix, meaning growing pains likely are on the horizon in Denver.

2018
The veteran safety missed five games last season due to injury, but that didn't stop him from pulling down a career-high six interceptions while maintaining a tackle pace that would have netted him 90 stops on 1,000 snaps. Simmons has 20 picks the last four seasons as one of the league's top ballhawks at his position, and new defensive coordinator Vance Joseph has spent the last few years getting the most out of Budda Baker and Jalen Thompson. Given that his contract has little remaining guaranteed money on it, Simmons figures to be playing for a new deal in 2023.

Getting look from Atlanta
Simmons will visit with the Falcons on Monday and Tuesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Atlanta just lost second-year safety DeMarco Hellams to a leg injury in Friday's preseason game against Miami, and the team isn't wasting much time looking for a replacement, if not an upgrade. Simmons is a four-time second-team All-Pro with the Broncos, and he made the Pro Bowl in 2023, so the 30-year-old would appear to have plenty left in the tank despite being released in March for cap reasons.
