Titans DT Jordan Elliott was released after reportedly going to retrieve a gun after a practice dispute

The Tennessee Titans terminated the contract of rookie defensive tackle Jordan Elliott on Tuesday, following reports of an altercation at the team's practice facility. The team's release statement was brief, citing "an incident at our team facility." Subsequent reports revealed that Elliott allegedly went to his car to retrieve a gun after a disagreement with a teammate during practice.

According to multiple sources, this incident led to Elliott being asked to leave the field and not practicing the following day. NFL players are not permitted to possess firearms on team or league premises, so Elliott could face further disciplinary action from the league. While the NFL has not yet officially confirmed the incident, it is currently under investigation.

Elliott, who signed a two-year, $8.5 million deal with the Titans, had been involved in a dispute with offensive tackle JC Latham, which reportedly resulted in him being told to leave the field. Security cameras captured the entire sequence, but it seems no physical confrontation occurred, as defensive lineman John Franklin-Myers reportedly talked Elliott down.

Following the release, Elliott was inactive for the Titans' Week 6 victory against the Indianapolis Colts and was subsequently let go. Despite initially being seen as a promising contributor, Elliott's tenure with the Titans came to a close, leaving his NFL future uncertain.
