    Chris Simms will work as Kerry Collins' backup today at practice. To make room for him the Titans cut tight end Dwayne Blakley.
    GM Mike Reinfeldt was complimentary of Simms in a news release.
    "Chris has been a starter in the league and should fit into our system well," Reinfeldt said. "He is a smart player, who is a student of the game and has the presence in the huddle that you look for in quarterback."
    A day after passing on promoting Ingle Martin and watching him sign with Kansas City, the Titans replaced him on the practice squad with Preston Parsons, who offensive coordinator Mike Heimerdinger knows from Denver last year.

    SUMMARY: The Titans have announced they have released TE Dwayne Blakley to make room for Chris Simms. The team has also signed quarterback Preston Parsons to their practice squad. "Chris has been a starter in the league and should fit into our system well," said Titans general manager Mike Reinfeldt. "He is a smart player, who is a student of the game and has the presence in the huddle that you look for in quarterback." Parsons played in college at Northern Arizona and spent time with the Broncos last year under offensive coordinator Mike Heimerdinger. He'll take the place of Ingle Martin, who signed with the Chiefs.
