Jeffery Simmons Injury Update
Jeffery Simmons is week-to-week with a hamstring injury he sustained in the second quarter of the Titans’ Week 7 loss to the New England Patriots on October 19, 2025. He was unable to return to that game and missed Wednesday’s practice leading up to the Titans’ Week 8 matchup against the Colts. This injury leaves uncertainty for Simmons’ availability and impacts the Titans' defense significantly. Jim Wyatt (@jwyattsports) reported on X that L'Jarius Sneed will be sidelined for an extended period, while Jeffery Simmons will be evaluated week-to-week
What Happened to Jeffery Simmons?
Simmons injured his left hamstring early in the second quarter during the October 19 game against the Patriots. After an awkward tackle, he visited the medical tent multiple times and attempted to play through it briefly but ultimately sat out the remainder of the game. Titans PR (@Titans_Comms) shared on X provided an injury update, revealing that DT Jeffery Simmons is dealing with a hamstring injury, and his return is currently questionable.
Interim coach Mike McCoy confirmed Simmons’ status as week-to-week during his October 22 press conference, signaling no firm return date yet. Simmons was ruled out for the Patriots game immediately after the injury.
Current Status and Practice Reports
Simmons did not participate in the Titans' media viewing practice session on October 22 and remains officially sidelined. He was absent from several early practice days this week, with no updates indicating a return to full participation.
The Titans’ injury report up to October 22 confirms Simmons as week-to-week, reflecting a cautious approach given the nature of hamstring injuries. No imaging results or detailed medical timelines have been publicly shared.
Expected Return Timeline
Hamstring injuries typically require careful management and can sideline players from one to multiple weeks, depending on severity. Simmons’ week-to-week designation means the Titans are evaluating his recovery day by day with no guaranteed date for return.
The team’s next game on October 26 versus the Colts is likely one he will miss, but a game-time decision could be possible based on practice progress later in the week. Historically, such injuries can keep defensive tackles out 1-3 weeks, depending on rehab response.
