It’s getting old with Jeffery Simmons at this point. Every fight that happens, whether it be in a regular training camp practice or in joint practices with another team, has Simmons right in the middle of it. The Tennessee Titans try to push him as a leader, but a defensive leader doesn’t shove the team’s starting quarterback.
To be fair to Simmons, there was some talk that he playfully shoved Ward, but it really doesn’t matter. You cannot put your hands on the starting quarterback. Any rookie knows that. Simmons is far from a rookie at this point. The whole offense jumped to Ward’s defense.
It would be so much easier to put up with some of the nonsense from Simmons if he were the dominant player he is supposed to be. We haven’t seen that from him lately. He hasn’t had more than 8 sacks in a season since 2021. He and the team will give you the injury and double-team excuse, but quite frankly, that is getting old at this point.
Neither Simmons nor Ward talked after practice.
