Titans release defensive tackle Jordan Elliott after practice altercation

The Tennessee Titans announced on Tuesday that defensive tackle Jordan Elliott has been released after an incident at the team facility on October 15. Sources said the 28-year-old was involved in a practice argument with offensive tackle J.C. Latham, during which the two players grappled and Elliott allegedly grabbed Latham’s facemask. Teammates intervened and coaches asked Elliott to leave practice; he removed his equipment and exited the field.

According to a source, the dispute continued in the locker room, and Elliott later walked to the team parking garage, where security footage showed him retrieving what appeared to be a firearm from his car. The intention behind retrieving the weapon was not disclosed. Teammates, led by offensive lineman John Franklin-Myers, helped de-escalate the situation.

The Titans issued a brief statement: "On Thursday, October 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."

Coach Robert Saleh said Elliott was "dealing with personal stuff" and noted that Elliott was not permitted to attend the following day’s practice, did not travel with the team to Indianapolis, and was inactive for the Sunday game against the Indianapolis Colts, which the Titans won.

The organization has not filed a police report but informed the NFL of the incident. It is unclear whether the league will impose additional disciplinary measures, and the episode may affect Elliott’s prospects as a free agent.
