Titans release defensive tackle Jordan Elliott after facility incident
The Tennessee Titans cut defensive tackle Jordan Elliott following an undisclosed incident at the team facility, as the team continues to adjust its roster early in the 2026 season.
The Tennessee Titans released defensive tackle Jordan Elliott on Tuesday after the team said an incident occurred at its facility on Thursday, Oct. 15. The organization, which announced the move through team reporter Jim Wyatt, said it had reviewed the matter and decided to part ways with Elliott, adding that it would not provide further comment.
"On Thursday, Oct. 15, there was an incident at our team facility involving Jordan Elliott. Following our review of the incident, we have made the decision to release Elliott from our roster. We will have no further comment on the matter," the team statement read.
Elliott had appeared in all five games of the 2026 season, recording 11 tackles and starting once. He joined the Titans after following head coach Robert Saleh from the San Francisco 49ers, where he made 29 starts in 31 games over two seasons.
The release comes as the Titans also made starting cornerback Alontae Taylor inactive for Week 6, removing his uniform in what was described as a coaching decision. Saleh declined to elaborate, saying the staff would discuss the situation and decide what is best for the team moving forward.
"We'll discuss it as a staff and make a decision that is best for the team moving forward," Saleh told reporters on Monday.
