Josh Simmons May Not Be Cleared Until August
13 seconds agoOhio State offensive tackle Josh Simmons (knee), who tore his patellar tendon back in October, might not be medically cleared to play football until August after going through a combine re-check in mid-April, according to SI.com's Albert Breer. It's a tough injury for big men to return from, meaning there's a good chance the 22-year-old isn't ready to go for the start of his rookie season in the NFL this fall. Simmons recently decided to change his mind and not attend the 2025 NFL draft in person, which means he probably isn't going to be taken in the first round after his injury. Simmons' torn patellar tendon ended his final season with the Buckeyes early in 2024, but if not for that injury, the 6-foot-5 lineman might have been in contention to be a top-10 pick. Even though he might not go in the first round, he's still considered a top-three tackle in this year's class.
