He is officially listed by the Flyers as "day-to-day," meaning he could be a possibility for Thursday's game against Florida as the Flyers try to string together their first 3-game win streak of the season.



Simmonds said this is his first career concussion. He's been headache-free the "entire time," and said he wasn't sure whether he needed to test it with contact in a practice first.



Simmonds has missed two straight games with the concussion, his first games missed since joining the Flyers before last season. Washington's John Erskine was suspended 3 games for his elbow to Simmonds' head and sacrificed nearly $25,000 in pay.



Erskine sent a text message to Simmonds apologizing for the play.
