Overview
- Elliott was involved in a practice altercation with offensive tackle J.C. Latham and, on Thursday, Oct. 15, left the facility, went to his car and pulled a gun before teammate John Franklin-Myers intervened to calm the situation.
- The Titans reviewed security footage and released Elliott on Tuesday, Oct. 20, issuing a brief statement that they would make no further comment.
- Coach Robert Saleh confirmed Elliott pulled a gun and described the act as a "terrible lapse in judgment" that he viewed as a call for help rather than a criminal act.
- Metro Nashville Police say no incident report was filed and the club notified the NFL, which is now reviewing the matter under league rules that ban firearms at team facilities.
- Elliott’s departure ends his two-year, roughly $8–8.5 million contract, creates immediate depth questions on Tennessee’s defensive line, and could affect his future in the league depending on the NFL’s findings or any legal developments.
