The Titans released defensive tackle Jordan Elliott after reports that he went to his car to retrieve a gun following a practice dispute with teammate JC Latham. Reports say another player talked Elliott down and the gun never left his parking spot; the NFL says the matter is under review. The alleged incident could bring further league discipline and complicate Elliott’s chances of joining another team.

By the Numbers
  • 5 games played for Tennessee
  • 11 total tackles
  • 2-year, $8.5 million contract
Yes, But

The Titans cited only an “incident at our team facility” when announcing Elliott’s release, and the NFL has not directly confirmed the reported details. The gun reportedly remained in Elliott’s parking spot, and no confrontation was reported.

State of Play
  • Elliott is no longer with the Titans.
  • The NFL says the situation is under review; players are prohibited from having firearms at team or league facilities.
What's Next

The league could impose additional discipline if the reports are substantiated. Elliott’s immediate prospects with another NFL team may also be affected.

Bottom Line

A reported weapons-related incident turned Elliott’s short tenure in Tennessee into a serious professional and league matter, even though the gun reportedly never left his car.
