Titans Release Jordan Elliott After Reported Gun Incident at Team Facility
Photo: NBC NewsThe Tennessee Titans released defensive lineman Jordan Elliott on Tuesday after an October 15 incident at their facility that reports said involved him retrieving a gun from his car. It followed a practice fight with offensive lineman JC Latham, after which Elliott was told to leave the field. Teammate John Franklin-Myers talked him down, and the gun never came back into the building. The NFL said its firearm policy bars guns at team facilities and is reviewing the matter. Head coach Robert Saleh, speaking Wednesday, called it a call for help rather than a criminal act and said he hopes Elliott signs elsewhere.
