Titans’ Jeffery Simmons fined for actions vs. Ted Karras, Bengals

Turns out the NFL wasn’t, either.

Titans defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons received an $11,139 fine from the NFL for hitting Bengals center Ted Karras near the end of regulation, according to The Athletic’s Jay Morrison.

While the NFL isolated one incident to fine, Simmons was notably diving and then getting into scuffles during victory formation in the 20-16 Bengals win.

If nothing else, the fine shows the NFL saw the incident as both teams otherwise move on to different opponents.
