Titans abruptly release DT Jordan Elliott for undisclosed reasons - ESPN

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — The Tennessee Titans released defensive tackle Jordan Elliott on Tuesday, citing an undisclosed «incident» from Thursday at the team's facility.

Titans coach Robert Saleh told the local media before practice Friday that Elliott wouldn't be available for practice because he was «dealing with personal stuff.» Elliott did not make the trip to Indianapolis with the team last Saturday and was inactive for the Titans' upset victory over the Colts.

«On Thursday, October 15, there was an incident at our team facility involving Jordan Elliott. Following our review of the incident, we have made the decision to release Elliott from our roster. We will have no further comment on the matter,» the Titans said in a statement Tuesday.

A team source said the decision was universally agreed upon. The NFL is aware of the situation.

Tennessee has not made a corresponding move to fill the roster spot vacated by Elliott's release. Veteran defensive tackle Timmy Horne got the game-day elevation from the practice squad last week and played 24 snaps in place of Elliott.

Elliott signed a two-year deal worth up to $8.5 million with the Titans in the offseason after spending the previous two seasons with Saleh and the San Francisco 49ers.

The 28-year-old appeared in five games this season with one start, registering 11 tackles for the Titans.
