Browns’ offensive line looks to limit Jeffery Simmons’ interior presence

The Cleveland Browns' offensive line is preparing to contain Tennessee Titans defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons ahead of their Week 7 road matchup on October 25. Simmons has recorded four sacks and six tackles for loss through six games while generating 21 pressures. Browns offensive linemen Tytus Howard, Zion Johnson, and Austin Barber highlighted Simmons' versatility across the interior defensive front as a major challenge.

Howard, who faced Simmons nine times while playing for the Houston Texans, emphasized the need for aggressive play against the defensive lineman. Offensive coordinator Travis Switzer explained that interior rushers are harder to chip than edge players, complicating protection schemes for Cleveland's newly overhauled offensive line.
