Titans' Jeffery Simmons grateful his mom wasn't at his home during armed burglary

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Tennessee Titans defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons is grateful his mother wasn’t following her usual routine of watching him play road games at his house when burglars broke in carrying guns and other weapons.

“All the materialistic things, eventually I can get all of that back,” Simmons said Thursday. “But if one of my family members would have lost their life, that’s what would have hurt way more than them breaking into my home. So I am grateful.”
