Jeffery Simmons reaches 100-game milestone in Titans season opener against Jets

Tennessee Titans defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons will appear in his 100th game for the organization when the team hosts the New York Jets in the NFL season opener. The matchup at Nissan Stadium also marks the debut of Robert Saleh as the Titans coach against his former team. The game serves as a transition point for the franchise as it prepares to conclude operations at its current stadium. To honor team history, the organization will induct Chris Johnson into the Ring of Honor during the event. Simmons enters the 2026 season as the defensive unit leader following a record-setting contract extension signed earlier this offseason. The defensive lineman has exceeded the typical career length for his position while remaining a key component in the Titans' efforts to improve their standing in the AFC South.
