Simmons and Cam Ward got into an intense argument during training camp last year, and Simmons found himself in a scuffle during Tuesday’s training camp session that resulted in his ejection.
According to the Tennessean part of the USA TODAY Network , Simmons threw a punch after getting his helmet ripped off during an 11-on-11 period of practice. Per New Channel 5 in Nashville, Simmons’ punch was toward Titans tackle JC Latham.
"Our policy is if you throw a punch, you're ejected in a game. Same thing with practice," Titans head coach Robert Saleh said later. "If you throw a punch, you're out of practice.
"But rather than going into the locker room, he went to the other field. He still got his work in."
Saleh paused practice for a moment after the scrum to talk to the team.
Simmons signed a massive three-year, $105.8 million contract extension with Tennessee in June. At the time it made Simmons the richest defensive tackle in NFL history. His status as the highest-paid defensive tackle has since been surpassed by Philadelphia Eagles defensive tackle Jalen Carter who inked a four-year, $152 million extension in July.
