Ex-Titans star 'attempted to retrieve gun' after fight with teammate

  • The Tennessee Titans released defensive lineman Jordan Elliott following a review of facility security camera footage showing him going to retrieve a gun from his car after a practice altercation, according to reports from A to Z Sports and KPRC2.
  • The incident happened after Elliott engaged in a scuffle with right tackle JC Latham and was ordered off the field, leading him to his vehicle before teammate John Franklin-Myers talked him down without any injuries occurring.
  • Elliott sat out Friday's practice for “personal reasons” and remained inactive during the Titans' 26-20 victory over the Indianapolis Colts before the franchise formally announced his departure.
  • The 28-year-old defense lineman had signed a two-year, $8 million contract during the offseason and logged 11 tackles in five games for Tennessee this season.
  • Separately, the NFL issued one-game suspensions to Buffalo Bills players C.J. Gardner-Johnson and Sam Franklin for spitting at opponents during Sunday's game against the Las Vegas Raiders.
