What happened: John Harbaugh expressed frustration after missing out on acquiring defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons ahead of the NFL trade deadline, according to Yahoo Sports. Tennessee instead sent Simmons to Chicago in exchange for two first-round draft picks.

Why it matters: Simmons provides an elite interior presence, having recorded 44 tackles and five sacks through eight games this season. The outcome left Baltimore to navigate its defensive line depth, while Chicago secured a key defender under contract through a three-year, $105 million extension.

By the numbers: Simmons recorded 67 tackles and 11 sacks across 15 games last season (2025) with Tennessee. Through eight games in 2026, he has tallied 44 tackles and five sacks.

What to watch: Baltimore moves forward with its current defensive rotation for the second half of the regular season, while Simmons continues his campaign in Chicago.
