Defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons expressed enthusiasm about playing in prime-time games for the Chicago Bears, a contrast to his tenure with the Tennessee Titans where such opportunities were rare. Simmons, who joined the Bears in the offseason, noted that the team's schedule features multiple nationally televised games, something he did not experience frequently with the Titans.
The 2026 NFL season marks Simmons' first with Chicago after spending his previous years in Tennessee. The Bears' prime-time slate includes games on Thursday, Sunday, and Monday nights, offering Simmons a larger platform to showcase his abilities.
