Jordan Simone quickly became a fan favorite in Tempe after he made Arizona State’s football team as a walk on and produced for the Sun Devils.
The defensive back fulfilled his walk-on dream when he made it to the NFL, joining the Seattle Seahawks as an undrafted free agent.
However, his dream of making the roster might be put on hold for now after he left the Seahawks’ first preseason game of the season with an injury.

It was reported to be a knee injury. After attempting to make a tackle in the first half against the Los Angeles Chargers, he had to be helped off the field.
Jordan Simone has a significant knee injury, could be ACL, per Carroll. No other significant injuries to report. #Seahawks

Pete Carroll said Paul Richardson has an AC sprain. No timeline, but "going to be a bit." Fear is ACL injury for Jordan Simone

Carroll says Jordan Simone may have ACL tear, by initial indication.
