Titans trade Jeffery Simmons, reshape defensive line ahead of Week 8

The Tennessee Titans have significantly altered their defensive line by trading Jeffery Simmons to the Chicago Bears and releasing Jordan Elliott. These changes come just days before their Week 8 matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals. The current depth chart features John Franklin-Myers, Nazir Stackhouse, Solomon Thomas, and Jermaine Johnson II as starters. Franklin-Myers, however, is dealing with multiple injuries, complicating the unit's stability going forward. The Titans may explore re-signing Timmy Horne or adding other players to bolster the roster as they adapt to these shifts.
