Titans' Jeffery Simmons: Logs sack, receiving TD in Week 15
Jeffery Simmons posted seven tackles (four solo), including 1.0 sacks, one forced fumble and a one-yard touchdown catch during the Tennessee Titans' 37-24 loss to the 49ers on Sunday.Simmons made his impact felt early in the fourth quarter, when he stripped the ball while sacking Brock Purdy, leading to a fumble recovery by Kaiir Elam. Two plays later, Simmons reported as an eligible receiver and was on the receiving end of a one-yard touchdown pass from Cam Ward. It was the second receiving touchdown of Simmons' seven-year NFL career, with the first taking place during the 2023 season. On the defensive side of things, the 2019 first-rounder is up to 9.0 sacks through 12 regular-season games, which breaks his previous career-best mark from the 2021 campaign (8.5 sacks across 17 regular-season games). Simmons will look to reach double-digit sacks for the season in Week 16 against the Chiefs, who will have Gardner Minshew under center after Patrick Mahomes suffered a torn ACL in his left knee against the Chargers on Sunday.

Titans' Jeffery Simmons: Trending toward returning Sunday
Jeffery Simmons, who is listed as questionable for Sunday's tilt against the Texans due to a hamstring issue, is expected to suit up, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.Simmons missed each of Tennessee's past two games while tending to a hamstring injury. The Tennessee Titans were on bye last week, and Simmons was able to log a DNP/LP/LP practice progression this week. That apparently has him geared up to play versus Houston on Sunday. If that's the case, it will be a big boost to Tennessee's pass rush, as Simmons has 4.5 sacks in the seven games he's played so far this season.
