At least six suspects broke into the home of Tennessee Titans defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons on Sunday night while he was with the team in California during their 37-24 loss to the San Francisco 49ers.

Multiple items were stolen from Simmons’ Nashville-area home, police said, after suspects smashed glass to enter the home shortly after 7 p.m. on Sunday. Nobody was home during the time of the burglary. An investigation is ongoing. It’s unclear what specifically was stolen.

"Team security is actively working with Metro Nashville Police Department to recover items stolen from Jeffery Simmons' house. No residents were home during the burglary," the Titans said in a statement, via The Tennessean.

Simmons, police said, called them about the break-in after he arrived back in Tennessee on Monday morning. He shared a video that appeared to show the burglars walking up to his home on his Instagram story, too.

“God is the greatest and I’m his son!!” Simmons wrote. “Whoever you are, just know he sit on high and look low. You’ll get what you deserve you f***ing cowards!

“What if any of my family members was in my house?? All that materialistic s**t you can have but this is crazy!”

Simmons had seven total tackles and a sack in the Titans’ 13-point loss on Sunday. The 29-year-old, who the Titans selected with the No. 19 overall pick in 2019 out of Ole Miss, now has 55 total tackles and nine sacks this season.

Simmons is just the latest professional athlete to fall victim to a burglary in the United States in recent years. Cleveland Browns quarterback Shedeur Sanders had more than $200,000 worth of property stolen from his home as he made his NFL regular-season debut last month.

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow’s home was broken into during a “Monday Night Football” game last season, and the homes of Kansas City Chiefs stars Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce were both broken into in 2024, too. New Orleans Saints defensive end Cam Jordan and NBA star Luka Doncic also had their homes broken into.

The FBI issued a warning last year about international crime organizations that were tracking the whereabouts of athletes in order to conduct home break-ins when they aren’t home.

The Titans hold a 2-12 record entering Sunday’s matchup with the Chiefs. They have already been eliminated from the playoffs for a fourth straight season.
