NFL Reviews Jordan Elliott Gun Incident After Titans Cut Ex-DT Over Facility Violation

3 articles · Updated · NBC Sports · Oct 21

Summary

  • The NFL said Wednesday it is reviewing Jordan Elliott after the former Titans defensive tackle went to his car to retrieve a gun following a practice altercation last week.
  • The Titans had already notified the league and then cut Elliott, turning the episode from a team disciplinary matter into a potential league conduct case.
  • An NFL source from another team said having a gun at a league facility is an egregious conduct violation, with rules posted in team buildings and extending to cars parked on facility grounds.
  • That interpretation could complicate Elliott's next opportunity, with the source saying a suspension is likely if and when he signs with another team.
