Tennessee Titans defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons was pulled from practice Tuesday after throwing a punch during a team drill. Coach Robert Saleh sent him to a side field for the remainder of the session, making clear his expectations for player conduct. "If you throw a punch, you're out of practice," Saleh told reporters.
CBS Sports reported that Simmons threw the punch at offensive lineman JC Latham, though other outlets did not specify the target of the altercation. The incident marked an early exit for Simmons, though it was unrelated to injury. Saleh's response established boundaries for what the coach termed his "hard-nosed defense," according to CBS Sports.
