Overview
- The workout was reported on Nov. 7 and is planned for next week, according to NFL insider Jordan Schultz, but the Bears have not signed Elliott.
- The Titans released Elliott on Oct. 20 after an episode during practice in mid‑October when he retrieved a firearm from his car in the team parking lot following an altercation with teammate JC Latham.
- Teammate John Franklin‑Myers helped de‑escalate the parking‑lot confrontation and no police report was filed, but the incident violated NFL rules about firearms on team property.
- Tennessee coach Robert Saleh has publicly defended Elliott’s character, called the episode a lapse in judgment and said he would vouch for Elliott to other teams.
- Chicago’s interest is driven by a need for interior depth after placing Kentavius Street on injured reserve and adding Jeffery Simmons, though any signing would be weighed against possible league discipline and public‑relations risks.
