2 years agoDenver Broncos All-Pro safety Justin Simmons (thigh) will miss "some time," according to head coach Nathaniel Hackett. Simmons finished the Week 1 loss to the Seattle Seahawks on Monday with a thigh injury that he suffered in the second half. The 28-year-old is a huge part of Denver's defense, so this is a notable loss as they head into a Week 2 matchup against the Houston Texans. He recorded nine tackles on 49 defensive snaps in the season opener. Fantasy managers in IDP leagues that were rolling with Simmons as their starting defensive back will now have to go in another direction. With Simmons out a while, the Broncos will look for names like P.J. Locke, Caden Sterns and Delarrin Turner-Yell to step up at safety.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
