Jeffery Simmons not practicing at Tennessee Titans minicamp but says 'focus is not on my contract'

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- One of the most significant players for the Tennessee Titans was missing from the field when the team kicked off mandatory minicamp Tuesday.

Although Titans defensive lineman Jeffery Simmons reported, the franchise cornerstone was "unavailable" to take part in either of the two minicamp practices, according to coach Mike Vrabel.

“He’s doing exactly what we ask him to do,” Vrabel said Wednesday. “I make a lot of decisions. I get to decide who’s practicing and who doesn’t.”

Simmons revealed Wednesday that he currently has a team to handle his contract so he can focus on the field.
