The news comes just one day after Simmons addressed trade rumors surrounding his future in Tennessee.
"Each and every day, my goal is to be where my feet are at," Simmons told NewsChannel 5 on Wednesday. "I'm never looking ahead, right now, it's about being in the moment. My goal is never changing, I don't worry about things that I can't control."
At the time, Simmons said he hadn't heard anything from his agent or the Titans organization about a possible trade.
"As far as I know, I'm going to be here," he said.
Simmons has been one of Tennessee's top players, recording 38 tackles, four sacks, six tackles for loss, four passes defended, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery through seven games this season.
The reported move comes as the Titans sit at 1-6 heading into Sunday's game against the Cincinnati Bengals, less than two weeks before the Nov. 10 NFL trade deadline.
