NFL investigating Jordan Elliott situation following Titans release
The NFL is investigating Jordan Elliott after the Tennessee Titans released him for allegedly bringing a gun to practice.
The Tennessee Titans have released veteran defensive tackle Jordan Elliott following an undisclosed incident that occurred last week. According to the league, Elliott went to his car to retrieve a gun after an altercation at practice. This incident has prompted the NFL to launch an investigation. The team reported the matter to the league, which is now under review.
Sources close to the situation confirm that the presence of a gun in an NFL facility is considered an egregious conduct violation. The rule explicitly prohibits having a gun in one's car if the vehicle is parked inside an NFL facility, with signs posted in multiple locations to remind players of this prohibition. If Elliott were to sign with another team, he would likely face suspension based on the league's policy.
The NFL's policy prohibits players from having guns in their vehicles in practice facility parking lots. Violations can result in disciplinary action from the league. However, in this case, the situation did not escalate further, and cooler heads prevailed. This story remains under investigation, and further updates will be provided as they become available.
