Overview
- Reports say the Bears will bring in Jordan Elliott for a workout next week as they look for depth on the interior defensive line.
- Elliott was released by the Tennessee Titans after an October incident in which he left practice, retrieved a firearm from his car on team property, and was de-escalated by teammate John Franklin-Myers.
- Titans coach Robert Saleh called Elliott’s action a serious lapse tied to personal struggles and publicly defended his character after the team cut him in late October.
- The NFL has opened an investigation into the episode and could impose discipline that would affect Elliott’s eligibility to sign and play for another team.
- Elliott is a 6'5", 325-pound veteran with about 65 career starts and run-stopping ability, so Chicago’s decision will weigh immediate roster need against league review and public and locker-room concerns.
