The Tennessee Titans announced Tuesday that veteran defensive tackle Jordan Elliott has been released from the roster. The decision follows a series of alarming events that unfolded during the team’s October 15 practice at the Nashville facility.
Practice altercation escalates
According to reports from AtoZ Sports and KPRC2, the practice turned heated when Elliott and first‑round offensive tackle J.C. Latham got into a fight on the field. Elliott continued to yell at Latham, was ejected from the practice, and removed his pads before leaving the facility.
Alleged firearm retrieval
Security footage captured Elliott walking to his vehicle in the player parking area. Fellow defensive tackle John Franklin‑Myers approached him and, per sources, persuaded Elliott not to retrieve a firearm that was reportedly in the car. The exact intent behind the weapon remains unclear, but the incident was deemed serious enough for the team to act.
Team response and release
The Titans reviewed the incident, which was captured on facility cameras, and decided to cut Elliott on Tuesday. No police report was filed, and the team has not released further details.
Context within the Titans
This marks the second unusual personnel move for the Titans in less than a week. Cornerback Alontae Taylor was a healthy scratch in the recent win over the Indianapolis Colts, and head coach Robert Saleh indicated the team will discuss his future as a staff decision.
Both Elliott and Taylor were acquisitions that Coach Saleh specifically sought for his defense, making their rapid departures notable early in the season.
