In place of Winters, the team elevated defensive lineman Deon Simon to the active roster, a move that could see him get significant playing time on Sunday with Muhammad Wilkerson likely benched and Leonard Williams nursing a back injury.

Defensive lineman Francis Kallon was added to the practice squad in Simon’s place.
