Simmons, a first-round pick in 2025, continues to recover from a back injury, while Conner's knee issue keeps him sidelined as well. Other inactives include Jared Wiley, Jack Pyburn, Diego Pounds, Bryson Eason, and Garrett Nussmeier. Defensive tackle Chris Jones is listed as questionable with a calf injury but may still play.
