Simpson tallied five tackles (two solo), a half-sack and one pass defensed during Thursday's 27-20 loss to the Chiefs. Simpson played 70 percent of Baltimore's defensive snaps Week 1, which is a larger workload than he handled at any point in his rookie season last year. The 2023 third-round pick is worth monitoring in all IDP formats considering the value that Baltimore's starting inside linebacker position has proven capable of providing. Simpson will look to take advantage of a plus matchup against the Ravens in Week 2.

Simpson (concussion) was a full participant in Friday's practice and does not carry an injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Rams. Simpson missed the last three games after sustaining a concussion in Week 10 against the Browns. His return will bolster the Ravens' inside linebacker depth behind starters Roquan Smith and Patrick Queen.

Simpson (concussion) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice session, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports. Simpson sustained a concussion in Week 10 against the Browns and missed the next two games. His full participation in Wednesday's practice is a good sign he's on track to return for Sunday's game against the Rams.

Coach John Harbaugh said Friday that Simpson is dealing with a "soft tissue" injury and could miss some time, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports. The third-round rookie out of Clemson is expected to open his NFL career as the top linebacker reserve behind Roquan Smith and Patrick Queen.

The Ravens selected Simpson in the third round of the 2023 NFL Draft, 86th overall. It's not obvious why Simpson fell this far -- he seemed like a fine selection as high as the second round -- but this looks like a solid pick for Baltimore. The Clemson product has 4.43 speed at 6-foot-2, 235 pounds, and in college he showed the ability to play the edge surprisingly well for a player of his frame, which is more commonly seen in off-ball linebackers. Simpson might be able to displace Patrick Queen in time.
