Titans' Jeffery Simmons comments on Jalen Hurts ahead of Week 2 matchup
Summary

Tennessee Titans star Jeffery Simmons suggested a strategy to limit Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts, emphasizing the need to keep him in the pocket during their Week 2 game at Nissan Stadium. Simmons stated, 'We just need to make Jalen Hurts be a QB,' aiming to curtail Hurts' rushing ability. The Eagles have concerns as left guard Landon Dickerson is on injured reserve, likely putting second-year player Drew Kendall in the lineup. Hurts is coming off a solid performance in Week 1, where he threw for 203 yards and three touchdowns while adding 46 rushing yards. The matchup is critical for both teams as they look to find momentum early in the season.
