NASHVILLE (AP) — Two-time Pro Bowl defensive lineman Jeffery Simmons apologized Wednesday for yelling at a local radio talk show host after the Tennessee Titans wrapped up practice.

Video of Tuesday's confrontation went viral with Simmons heard live swearing and ranting at the host over a social media post referencing the lineman being involved in separate fights during practice. Simmons said he talked over the issue with the host, who works for the Titans ' flagship station.

"He has a job, and I have a job," Simmons said. "At the end of the day, I take full accountability for my actions on the field. That will never happen again with me."

Simmons said he was still revved up from practice when he came back out of the locker room out onto the field near where the radio station was broadcasting live. A teammate was sitting down to be interviewed when Simmons made clear he wasn't happy.

"To all you guys, I apologize and not because it hit social media, but it's because of who I am. That's not my character, and I think from now on out, from that point, I spoke on it and I'm ready to move forward," Simmons said.

NOTES: OLB Arden Key, reportedly facing a six-game suspension for violating the NFL's policy on performance-enhancers, declined to speak with reporters on Wednesday after practice. Reporters called out to Key who left the field through an area where media are not allowed. ... Cornerback L'Jarius Sneed, given a maintenance day Tuesday, practiced Wednesday. S Jamal Adams missed a second straight day, and WR Tre'Shaun Harrison left practice early.
