Tennessee Titans All Pro defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons addressed media Wednesday after a busy Tuesday that included multiple practice stoppages for fighting and a heated interaction with a media member after practice, expressing that it won't happen again.

"At the end of the day, I take full accountability of my actions on the field," Simmons said. "That'll never happen again with me."

Simmons was a central figure in two skirmishes that broke out at Titans practice Tuesday, the first of which was a solo fight with rookie tackle JC Latham and the second of which came a play later and resulted in a scrum involving the entire offensive and defensive lines. Titans coach Brian Callahan didn't eject Simmons (or any other player) from practice and the rest of the session continued without any additional dust-ups.

Neither Simmons nor any of the primary figures in Tuesday's incidents spoke with media after Tuesday's practice as media availability participants were decided upon before the session. After practice, Simmons briefly confronted 104.5 The Zone radio host Buck Reising during his live show, though the altercation didn't last long and didn't get physical. The two then spoke before practice on Wednesday.

"We have an understanding. He has an understanding of where I'm coming from, and I have an understanding of where he is coming from," Simmons said. "He has a job, I have a job.

"I always talk about that switch, when to turn it on and when to turn it off. I kinda still had it on coming off the field, of course, with the way practice went. But like I said, that's not me. It'll never happen again."

As for the on-field incidents, Simmons said he and his teammates need to get better about harnessing "controlled aggression." He said all of the frustration is expressed in the moment with nothing spilling over into the locker room after practice.

"We ain’t here to fight," Simmons added. "Me and Latham got tangled up. It’s a football play. We compete. All the extra stuff is just not called for. We know that. As we know in a game, if you hit someone in the facemask, you’re out of the game. You have to know when to draw the line."

Titans coach Brian Callahan said he wasn't particularly concerned by the extra physicality. Titans GM Ran Carthon spoke to Simmons on the field after Tuesday's practice and had particularly strong things to say about Simmons' leadership before training camp began.

"Jeff is not only the leader of the D-line group and the defense, but the whole team," Carthon said. "And you feel it and you see it and the way he goes is the way the group goes. Just not in terms of on the field, but off the field as well, and how he handles his business. And so he set a great example for those guys so they have something to follow."

Titans training camp continues throughout the next two weeks in the buildup to the first preseason game against the San Francisco 49ers on Aug. 10.
