Titans release Jordan Elliott

Sports · Heat 1.7 / 10 · 4 shows · 28m airtime

The Tennessee Titans released defensive lineman Jordan Elliott on October 20, 2026, after an incident at the team facility on October 15. Reporting describes it as a fight with teammate J.C. Latham, during which Elliott reportedly left practice upset and went to his car for a firearm; no charges were filed. The discussion has moved from what set off the dispute to whether Elliott should be signed again, with Robert Saleh calling the incident a cry for help and saying Elliott is worthy of signing. The league rule barring firearms at team facilities, stadiums and buses remains part of the debate.
