Titans Release Jordan Elliott After Oct. 15 Facility Incident in His 5th Game Season

Q: What mysterious facility incident forced the Titans to abruptly release newly signed Jordan Elliott and alert the NFL?

It has not been publicly disclosed. The Titans have said only that there was “an incident” involving Jordan Elliott at the team’s Nashville facility on Oct. 15, and multiple reports say the NFL has been made aware of it. What is known is limited: Elliott was kept away from practice the next day, with coach Robert Saleh describing it at the time as “personal stuff.” He did not travel for the Colts game, was inactive that weekend, and was then released Tuesday after what team sources described as an internally unanimous decision. Some online speculation has circulated, including an unverified social-media claim involving a firearm, but no credible reporting in the material provided confirms that account. At this point, the nature of the incident remains unknown, and the Titans have explicitly said they will have no further comment.

Tennessee cut defensive tackle Jordan Elliott on Tuesday after reviewing an unspecified Oct. 15 incident at the team facility, saying it would have no further comment.
Elliott had appeared in five games for the Titans and posted 11 tackles after following coach Robert Saleh from San Francisco to Tennessee.
The move came just after Tennessee earned its first win of the season, a 26-20 comeback over Indianapolis in Week 6.
Roster questions extended beyond Elliott: defensive back Alontae Taylor was held out by coach's decision despite playing nearly every defensive snap in the first five games after signing a 3-year, $58 million deal.
Tennessee now heads into a home game against the AFC North-leading Cleveland Browns with fresh uncertainty on defense.
