Titans release defensive tackle Jordan Elliott after firearm-related incident
The Tennessee Titans cut defensive tackle Jordan Elliott following an incident in which he retrieved a gun from his car after a practice altercation, according to multiple reports.
The Tennessee Titans released defensive tackle Jordan Elliott on Tuesday, citing an undisclosed incident that occurred during practice. Reports from AtoZSports.com and KPRC indicate that Elliott and teammate JC Latham argued after a play, after which Elliott was instructed to leave the practice field. He then went to the team parking garage to retrieve a firearm from his car, an action that was reportedly captured by surveillance cameras. Defensive tackle John Franklin-Myers intervened and de-escalated the situation.
The Nashville Metro Police Department said no formal reports had been filed regarding the episode. Elliott, 28, had signed a two-year, $8 million contract in the offseason after four seasons with the Cleveland Browns and two with the San Francisco 49ers. He appeared in the first five games of the 2026 season but was inactive for the win over the Indianapolis Colts before being cut five days later. It is not known whether the league office was notified of the incident.
The Titans have not provided further comment on the matter.
