The Tennessee Titans held their second practice of mandatory minicamp on Wednesday, and it was once again open to the media.
Two key players remained absent on Wednesday in defensive lineman Jeffery Simmons and wide receiver Treylon Burks. Simmons addressed the media after practice and went into detail about why he’s sitting out.
“I’m here to play football,” Simmons said, via Jim Wyatt of Titans Online. “I have a team around me that handles my contract situation. I’m focused on training and getting ready for the season. I’m on a plan with coach Vrabel and everyone. As they said, I’m unavailable to practice. I’m focusing on improving. I’ve been in the film and weight room. My focus is not on my contract. That’s why I have a team around me.”
Simmons also said he plans to report for training camp, which will begin on July 26.
Now, a look at the biggest takeaways from Day 2 of mandatory minicamp.
