The Tennessee Titans trade All‑Pro defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons to the Chicago Bears, sending Simmons and a 2028 5th‑round pick in exchange for two first‑round selections (2027, 2028) and a 2027 4th‑round pick. Analysts note the move caps the Titans' rebuilding window, while giving Simmons a chance to join a contender. The deal underscores Simmons' status as one of the league's top interior linemen and reflects the Titans' strategy to maximize his value before a projected decline.
The San Francisco 49ers kick off the trade deadline by reacquiring former defensive tackle DeForest Buckner from the Indianapolis Colts for a 2027 fourth‑round pick, adding him to interior linemen Osa Odighizuwa and bolstering a deepening pass‑rush. Meanwhile, the Chicago Bears package two first‑rounders and a fourth‑rounder to the Tennessee Titans for star DT Jeffery Simmons, a move that could reshape NFC Super Bowl odds. Both deals follow last week’s blockbuster trades of Quenton Nelson to Seattle and highlight a volatile deadline as teams vie for defensive upgrades.
Cornerback Doneiko Slaughter misses Wednesday practice with a hamstring strain suffered while covering a punt in the Steelers' 16‑10 win over the New Orleans Saints in Paris.

The team added depth with veteran Sean Murphy‑Bunting and has yet to activate Terell Smith or practice‑squad Darius Rush. Slaughter hopes to return before the Week 8 matchup with Cleveland.
