Tennessee Titans defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons was ejected from practice on August 4, 2026, following an altercation in which he threw a punch during an 11-on-11 drill. Simmons's helmet was ripped off before he struck Titans tackle JC Latham. Titans head coach Robert Saleh confirmed the ejection, reiterating that throwing punches leads to removal from practice.
