Titans Cut Jordan Elliott After Gun Incident in Parking Lot

The Tennessee Titans released defensive tackle Jordan Elliott after he brandished a gun in the parking lot of the team's facility. This incident occurred following an altercation with offensive tackle JC Latham during practice on 15 October.

Elliott, 28, did not participate in the Titans' victory over the Indianapolis Colts and was cut from the team on Tuesday due to the incident, which the club described as serious. Coach Robert Saleh characterized Elliott as a devoted father and husband with no prior criminal history, suggesting that his actions may indicate a need for help.

Latham referred to the altercation as unfortunate, noting it occurred in the heat of the moment, and expressed that there was no animosity between the players. He emphasized the importance of mental health and hoped Elliott would receive the necessary support.

Elliott, who has also played for the San Francisco 49ers and Cleveland Browns, participated in five games this season. Saleh stated he would recommend Elliott to another team, vouching for his character while acknowledging the need to adhere to gun regulations on team property.
