What happened: Linebackers Mack Wilson Sr. and Cody Simon appeared alongside mascot Big Red for a midweek lunchtime event on Wednesday.

Why it matters: The off-field appearance pairs Wilson, a 2019 fifth-round pick out of Alabama (155th overall), with Simon, a 2025 fourth-round selection from Ohio State (115th overall). The outing follows Simon forcing a fumble on Oct. 18 during regular-season play.

What to watch: Wilson and Simon return to regular-season preparation following Wednesday's community schedule.
