By Fernando Rojas ·
The Tennessee Titans will face the Cincinnati Bengals in a road game on Sunday.
Kickoff is set for 12:00 p.m. in Cincinnati.
The Titans lost defensive end Jeffery Simmons in a trade to the Chicago Bears on Thursday.
Simmons is a three-time All-Pro who served as the team's primary run-stopper and sack leader.
The Titans are 1-6 this season.
The Bengals are 4-2 and feature a high-powered offense.
Quarterback Joe Burrow has thrown 15 touchdown passes in six games.
Burrow has only three interceptions in that span.
Wide receivers Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins caught seven of those touchdown passes.
The receiving duo has also accumulated more than 900 yards.
The Titans defense ranks near the bottom of the league in most categories.
The team will also be without rookie wide receiver Carnell Tate on Sunday. Tate is out with a shoulder injury. WSMV will air its Titans Gameday show at 10:30 a.m. on Sunday. Chris Harris, Janyre Cooper, and Camille Gear will join Titans senior writer Jim Wyatt for a pre-game analysis.
