Titans' Jeffery Simmons clarifies comment on Derrick Henry

Tennessee Titans defensive lineman Jeffery Simmons recently made a comment on his former teammate Derrick Henry playing for a new team, but his comment was misunderstood, forcing him to clarify.

Simmons was a guest on "The Rich Eisen Show" and basically said how weird it is for Henry not to be playing for the Titans anymore.

In his comment, people wrongly thought he referred to the Baltimore Ravens uniform as a "purple tutu," but the Titans star was actually saying "purple 2-2," as in the No. 22, which Henry wears in Baltimore.

“I won’t say weird, but it’s different,” Simmons said. “Getting on social media and seeing him in his purple 2-2, he’s really gone. Sometimes it’s just like, yeah, he’s in a Ravens uniform now."

You can check out the clip of Simmons saying it and his clarification below.

Rich Eisen himself even issued a clarification on the situation.

So, there you have it. Nothing to see here.

Simmons also commented on the Titans' current running backs and expressed his faith that they're going to be an effective duo.

"When you walk into the building, I believe in Tyjae Spears and Tony Pollard," Big Jeff said. "When Tyjae first came in, I was a big fan of his. I think he and Pollard are going to be a one-two punch for sure.”
