Tennessee Titans fans are scratching their heads after a surprising revelation by rookie defensive tackle T’Vondre Sweat. Despite being frequently seen around Nashville with veteran star Jeffery Simmons during the offseason, Sweat told Parker Kelley of 102.5 The Game that the two did not train together.
This comes as Simmons continues to be absent from voluntary Organized Team Activities (OTAs), raising questions about his offseason approach and engagement with the team. While veterans often skip voluntary workouts, Simmons’ total absence—especially with a new coaching staff and young defensive linemen like Sweat entering the fold—feels notable.
Sweat’s clarification suggests that although he and Simmons may have spent social time together, there wasn’t any professional collaboration or mentorship taking place in terms of football prep. For a rookie like Sweat, working alongside a two-time Pro Bowler like Simmons could have been incredibly valuable. So why wasn’t that happening?
Is Simmons simply taking his own path in managing his body and offseason routine? Or is there something deeper going on behind closed doors—perhaps with the coaching staff, front office, or even his contract?
For now, Sweat appears to be all-in and making a strong impression early on. But Simmons’ silence and absence only fuel speculation about his current standing with the team. Until Simmons shows up and speaks up, questions will linger about the dynamic between Tennessee’s defensive leaders—present and future.
