When training camp officially opens on Wednesday, the Tennessee Titans expect defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons to be among those participating.
The 24-year-old was not present at voluntary OTAs, which is not unusual for veteran players. Simmons did attend mandatory minicamp last month but did not participate, leading to speculation about him possibly holding out or not fully participating in practice until he gets a new deal.
The Mississippi State spoke at minicamp, noting that his plan was not to hold out and that he would attend training camp. He also indicated that he was leaving contract negotiations to his agent.
