Titans DT Jeffery Simmons' home burglarized during 49ers game

The home of Tennessee Titans defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons was burglarized while the team was in California to face the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday night. In a statement, the Titans said nobody was home when the incident happened.

“Team security is actively working with Metro Nashville Police Department to recover items stolen from Jeff Simmons’ house,” the Titans said, per ESPN. “No residents were home during the burglary.”

The Metro Nashville Police Department said the burglary happened at 7 p.m. local time, “when at least six suspects entered after smashing out window glass. Multiple items were taken.” Jeffery Simmons called the police when he arrived home on Monday morning.

Simmons reacted to the burglary on his Instagram Story. “What if any of my family members was in my house??” Simmons wrote. “All that materialistic s**t you can have, but this is crazy!”

Following his initial reaction, Simmons issued a statement. “I want to extend my sincere appreciation to the Metro Nashville Police Department and the Titans’ security team for their professionalism and swift response,” the veteran defensive lineman said. “Their dedication to ensuring the safety of our entire Nashville community does not go unnoticed. I remain thankful for God’s protection and grace.”

Jeffery Simmons lost 20 pounds for the 2025 season

Simmons has been with the Titans since the team selected him in the first round (No. 19 overall) in the 2019 NFL Draft. In his career, the former Mississippi State star has been selected to the Pro Bowl three times and named a member of the All-Pro Second Team twice.

This season, Simmons has posted 55 tackles, 154 tackles for loss, nine sacks, and two forced fumbles in 12 games. In Sunday’s game against the 49ers, the 28-year-old caught his second career touchdown pass, but the Titans lost 37-24.

In June, Simmons talked about how he was ready to make an impact after losing 20 pounds for the 2025 season. “It feels great,” Simmons said, per Jim Wyatt of the Titans’ official website. “It’s great to be back on the field with the guys, getting to work with the guys. It’s not always an easy decision, making the decision not to be here (for OTAs) with your teammates, especially with a lot of new guys. … But I made that decision, it was a personal decision.”
