Bears Host Former Titans Defensive Tackle Jordan Elliott for Workout

The visit tests a low-cost option to replace injured interior depth during an ongoing NFL review of Elliott's October firearm retrieval.

Overview

The Bears held a workout with free agent Jordan Elliott on Tuesday to evaluate him for immediate defensive-tackle depth, according to reports from ESPN and team outlets.
Elliott was released by the Tennessee Titans after video showed him retrieve a firearm from his car following an argument with teammate J.C. Latham, and teammates including John Franklin-Meyers helped de-escalate the incident.
Titans coach Robert Saleh called the act a "terrible lapse in judgment" but defended Elliott's character and said he hoped Elliott would get another NFL chance after the October episode.
Elliott is a 28-year-old former third-round pick with 65 career starts and stops with the Browns, 49ers and Titans, and his run-defense experience is one reason Chicago is considering him.
Any Bears signing would weigh Elliott's on-field upside against legal, PR and possible NFL discipline risks and a workout does not guarantee a contract.
