Titans release Jordan Elliott after reported firearm-related incident
The Tennessee Titans released defensive tackle Jordan Elliott after an incident at the team facility. Reports say Elliott fought with teammate J.C. Latham at practice and later went to his vehicle for a firearm, but John Franklin-Myers persuaded him not to retrieve it. The Titans initially described the matter only as an incident at the facility.
Tennessee cut defensive tackle Jordan Elliott on Tuesday after reviewing an Oct. 15 practice altercation. Reports say a heated exchange with offensive tackle J.C. Latham, a 2024 first-round selection, escalated into a fight. Elliott was sent off, removed his pads, threw them down, and left the building; cameras captured the exit.
Fellow defensive tackle John Franklin-Myers reportedly followed Elliott to the players’ parking lot and persuaded him not to take a firearm from his vehicle. Nashville police did not receive an incident report. A source pointed to serious family matters away from football. Elliott sat out Sunday’s win over Indianapolis before the team released him.
The reported episode could heighten concerns about workplace safety at NFL facilities, affecting teammates, coaches, and staff who may share those spaces. It may also prompt teams to review how they handle escalating conflicts and parking-area access. For fans and the broader public, the case could shape perceptions of athlete conduct and crisis intervention, though details remain limited and no police report was filed.
