On Jeffery Simmons’ 2020 role
Vrabel made it clear that Simmons’ role with expand in 2020, which was expected in the first place. He also noted that Simmons can play Jurrell Casey’s position after he was traded to Denver this offseason.
#Titans' Vrabel: Plans to transition Simmons' role and expand it going into second year. Excited he's feeling better, doing well. Knows Casey's position and played it from time to time.

Simmons played in nine games after being activated in Week 7 of last season. It looked as though the team was managing his reps near the end of the campaign, as his snap counts gradually got lower.
With Casey no longer in the fold, the Titans are going to need Simmons to step up in a big way next season, and judging from what we saw of him, there’s a good chance he’ll answer the call.
