DT Jeffery Simmons Becomes The Eighth Titans Player To Test Positive For COVID-19

The Tennessee Titans have a COVID-19 outbreak on their hands.

Earlier this week, it was reported that multiple Titans players tested positive for the coronavirus. The positive tests prompted the National Football League to postpone the Titans’ Week 4 game against the Pittsburgh Steelers to Week 7.

The Titans proceeded to conduct contract tracing to locate any more positive tests and the results showed that eight total players contracted the virus, with the eighth person being standout defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons.

Titans’ Jeffrey Simmons became the eighth player on their team to be placed on the Reserve/COVID-19 list today, per source.
