Jeffery Simmons Throws Punch, Removed From Practice
Tennessee Titans defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons threw a punch during Tuesday's practice and was subsequently ejected.
On Tuesday, Aug. 4, Tennessee Titans defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons was removed from practice after throwing a punch at third year offensive tackle J.C. Latham. This incident followed a scuffle with starting center Austin Schlottmann. Instead of being sent to the locker room, Simmons completed drills with the strength and conditioning coach, as head coach Robert Saleh stated that if a player throws a punch, they are ejected from practice.
Simmons had a minor tussle during padded practice on Monday as well. This incident may explain why Simmons was drafted 19th overall in 2019, as he had a past simple assault conviction in high school. Despite this, Simmons has had a successful NFL career since being selected by the Titans.
