NEW YORK (AP)\u2014Tennessee Titans<\/a> backup quarterback Chris Simms<\/a>(notes)<\/a><\/span> is headed for trial on charges of driving while high on marijuana in New York City.<\/p>\n

Jurors were chosen Monday morning after questioning that included their views on marijuana. Opening statements are expected later in the day.<\/p>\n

The 30-year-old Simms was pulled over at a police sobriety checkpoint July 1. An officer said Simms was \u201czombie\u201d-like and said he\u2019d been smoking marijuana in the car.<\/p>\n

Simms has denied saying that. His lawyers have challenged the legality of the checkpoint and the basis for his arrest.<\/p>\n

He could face up to a year in jail if convicted in the misdemeanor case.<\/p>\n

Simms started his career with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers<\/a> in 2003. His father is former New York Giants<\/a> quarterback Phil Simms.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/p>\n
