Even without Jeffery Simmons, the Titans are still a team to be wary of

Cincinnati Bengals veteran center Ted Karras is refusing to underestimate the Tennessee Titans ahead of their upcoming matchup this weekend, even following the major trade of star defensive lineman Jeffery Simmons to the Chicago Bears. Karras praised Simmons as one of the premier interior defenders in the entire league, but emphasized that his squad must prepare diligently for a capable defensive group that still features John Franklin-Myers.

Sitting with a four and two record, the Bengals view this weekend contest as an essential opportunity to climb to five and two within a fiercely contested divisional race. Karras noted that the team's offensive line is striving for steady consistency as they attempt to capitalize on this pivotal stretch of the regular season schedule.
