The Tennessee Titans’ week took another sharp turn on Tuesday, when the team cut defensive tackle Jordan Elliott after reviewing an “incident” at the team facility.
The club said the matter stemmed from Thursday, Oct. 15, and released Elliott after its review was complete. Through team reporter Jim Wyatt, the Titans issued this statement:
"On Thursday, Oct. 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."
No details were shared about what happened, and it remains unclear whether any more information will surface.
Elliott had appeared in all five games this season, starting one of them, and totaled 11 tackles. He came to Tennessee after following Robert Saleh from the San Francisco 49ers, where he spent the previous two seasons and posted 29 starts in 31 games.
The move adds another layer to an already odd situation for the Titans. In Week 6, they also made starting cornerback and $58 million free-agent addition Alontae Taylor inactive.
He did not just sit out; the team took away his uniform. The decision was labeled a coach’s decision, and Saleh has not gone into detail about it.
"We'll discuss it as a staff and make a decision that is best for the team moving forward," Saleh told reporters on Monday.
Tennessee is back home this week to face the 4-2 Cleveland Browns, who sit atop the AFC North.

Cowboys Face A George Pickens Decision That Could Shape Their Season
George Pickens has quickly become one of the biggest decisions sitting in front of the Cowboys as they try to steady a season that has already gotten away from them at 2-4. He is on the franchise tag in 2026, and while he wants a long-term deal, Dallas has not pushed an extension forward, leaving the front office to balance present-day production against a future that could get messy fast.
For a team still trying to keep its season alive, the temptation is obvious: hold onto a talent like Pickens and hope he helps fuel a turnaround. But if no agreement comes together, the Cowboys also have to reckon with the possibility of losing him in free agency without getting anything back, which is why his name is already surfacing in trade talk before the deadline even arrives.

Dak Prescott's Rough Stretch Is Becoming A Real Cowboys Problem
Two weeks into the 2026 season, Dak Prescotts slump is becoming more than a bad run of games for the Cowboys, it is starting to shape the way their season is being discussed. The veteran quarterback has struggled to match his usual standard, and the latest warning sign came against Green Bay, where his decision-making and execution broke down under pressure and the offense never found a rhythm.
For a Dallas team still hanging around in the NFC East despite a 2-4 record, that puts even more weight on Prescott finding his footing quickly. The Cowboys do not have the luxury of waiting long for clean drives and steadier throws, especially with the defense doing enough to keep games within reach. The concern now is not just one poor outing, but whether this stretch has turned into a real problem for a team trying to stay in the division race. [Read more 🡒]
Cowboys Finally Showed Defensive Life After The Micah Parsons Trade
The Cowboys did not leave Green Bay with a win in Week 6, but they did leave with a little more defensive life than they had shown in recent weeks. Against Micah Parsons and his new Packers teammates, Dallas managed three sacks, its best pass-rush output in some time, and for a defense that had been searching for any sign of a reset, that mattered.
Micah Parsons presence on the other sideline gave the game an extra layer, but the bigger takeaway for Dallas was the way the front began to look more active and disruptive. Even in defeat, the pass rush offered a glimpse of what this defense might still be able to become after a rocky stretch, which is at least something for the Cowboys to carry into the next part of the schedule.
