Titans defensive lineman Jeffery Simmons apologized Wednesday for an altercation with a local radio host a day before.
Turron Davenport covers the Tennessee Titans for ESPN. Turron is a former collegiate football player at Cheyney University and is a native of Philadelphia, and he has authored/co-authored four books. You can catch Turron on ESPN Radio on his show"Talking with TD" and you can follow him on Twitter: @TDavenport_NFL."That's not who I am or who I want to be seen as," Simmons said.
On Tuesday, Simmons approached Buck Reising, the radio host, after practice while he was live on the air about a post he made on social media. The verbal altercation came after Simmons got into two scuffles on back-to-back plays during the team period of Tuesday's practice. Simmons was allowed to remain in practice after Titans coach Brian Callahan yelled at the team.
The Titans public relations team made arrangements for Simmons to speak to the host before practice Wednesday. "He has an understanding of where I'm coming from and I have an understanding where he comes from," Simmons said."He has a job and I have a job." Simmons is a three-time team captain and signed a four-year, $94 million contract extension before last season. A knee injury caused Simmons to miss the final five games last season. Simmons finished with 5.5 sacks, 10 tackles for a loss, and 11 quarterback hits.
