# Titans release Jordan Elliott

Sports · Heat 2.1 / 10 · 5 shows · 40m airtime

The Tennessee Titans released defensive tackle Jordan Elliott on October 21, 2026, after a practice incident with offensive lineman JC Latham. Elliott left practice and returned to the parking lot, where teammate John Franklin Myers talked him down. Robert Saleh has since urged the other 31 teams to call about signing Elliott as a run-stopping tackle, and said the NFL has lost two outstanding young men to suicide in the last year. The discussion treats the release as a window into the difference between offensive and defensive linemen, and asks whether a star player would have kept his job.
