Tennessee Titans defensive lineman Jeffery Simmons left Sunday's game against the Indianapolis Colts with a knee injury in the third quarter. He was ruled out for the remainder of the game.

Simmons initially stayed on the ground after a play early in the Colts' first drive of the third quarter, walked off the field with Titans medical personnel and returned a couple of plays later without going into the injury tent.

The Titans' star defensive tackle left the field again a few plays later on the same drive, slammed his helmet on the ground and this time went into the tent.

Simmons then walked slowly with a slight limp into the Titans' locker room minutes later.
