Records sack in defeat
Published: 2023-09-12
Simmons finished with a sack, three tackles and two assisted tackles in the Titans' 16-15 loss to the Saints on Sunday.
The two-time all-pro played in 95% of the snaps and made his usual impact in Week 1. Simmons helped Tennessee limit New Orleans to just 69 yards on the ground. The defensive end and his teammates will face a test next week against a Chargers offense that scored 34 points and ran for 234 yards in Week 1.

Feels fine after minor procedure
Published: 2023-04-12
Simmons, who recently signed a four-year, $94 million contract extension, said Wednesday that he got his ankle "cleaned up" after the season and feels fine now, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Simmons missed two games (Weeks 10 and 17) during the 2022 campaign due to a lingering ankle injury, so it's not surprising to hear he had a minor procedure to address the issue. The 2019 first-round pick has 16 sacks over the last two seasons and is now under contract through the 2027 campaign.
Inks four-year extension
Published: 2023-04-07
The Titans signed Simmons to a four-year extension Friday, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.
It's worth $94 million, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Simmons was headed into the final year of his rookie deal on the fifth-year option, and he's now signed through 2027, his age-30 campaign. Selected 19th overall in the 2019 Draft, Simmons has 21 career sacks, with 16 of those coming over the last two seasons. He's proven to be one of the most disruptive interior defensive linemen in the league and will be a building block for Tennessee's defense for the foreseeable future.
Remains disruptive force
Published: 2023-01-12
Simmons recorded 53 tackles, 7.5 sacks and seven passes defended across 15 games in 2022.
Simmons fought through an ankle injury for most of the season, an issue that cost him two games. Nevertheless, he topped 50 tackles for the second consecutive campaign and has 16 sacks across his last 33 contests. Simmons is entering the final year of his rookie contract and is a candidate to receive an extension this offseason.
Good to go Week 18
Published: 2023-01-05
Simmons (ankle) does not carry an injury designation ahead of Saturday's game against the Jaguars, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Simmons missed his second game of the season due to a lingering ankle injury during the Week 17 loss to Dallas on Thursday Night Football. The 25-year-old then remained limited in all three of Tennessee's practices of Week 18 prep, though he'll still be ready to suit up for his seventh game in the last nine weeks. Simmons ranks second on the team in sacks this season with 7.5, so his availability will be a significant boost as the Titan's poor pass defense tries to slow down Jacksonville quarterback Trevor Lawrence with the AFC South title on the line Saturday.
Remains limited Wednesday
Published: 2023-01-04
Simmons (ankle) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Simmons missed Week 17 due to a lingering ankle issue, which also sidelined him for Week 10. However, he's logged back-to-back limited sessions to start Week 18 prep and will have a good chance to suit up Saturday against the Jaguars. He'll have one more chance to submit a full session before Tennessee needs to make a decision on his status for the divisional matchup.
