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.

Oklahomas Next QB Storyline Is Starting To Feel More Urgent
With seven games left in the season, Oklahomas quarterback picture is settled for now, but the long-term conversation is already getting louder. Head coach Ben Arbuckle said John Mateer remains the starter, a decision that reflects where the Sooners are right now as they try to keep the season moving in the right direction. Behind him, Whit Newbauer and Bowe Bentley are still being evaluated, and Bentley in particular continues to draw attention as a name with real promise for the future.
Arbuckles comments made clear that the staff is balancing two timelines at once. Mateer is still the option that gives Oklahoma the best chance to win today, while Bentleys development is being handled with an eye toward what comes next. For a program always under the microscope at quarterback, that leaves the Sooners in a familiar spot, with the present settled enough and the future still taking shape behind it. [Read more 🡒]
Oklahoma May Finally Have The Backfield Spark It Desperately Needed
Tory Blaylocks role in Oklahomas offense has been easier to talk about than to see this season, with the sophomore running back spending much of 2026 working back from an early injury. But in the recent game against Kentucky, he finally looked closer to the player the Sooners have been waiting on, handling a season-high seven carries and giving a ground game that has been searching for a rhythm a little more life.
For Oklahoma, the timing matters. The run game has been bogged down by injuries along the offensive line, leaving the Sooners short on consistency and too often asking the passing game to carry the burden. Offensive coordinator Ben Arbuckle has been encouraged by Blaylocks return to form, and if that progress holds, it could give Oklahoma a much-needed spark in an area that has been difficult to solve.

Oklahomas Bowl Streak Suddenly Looks Far Less Safe
Oklahomas season has reached the kind of point where the conversation has shifted from playoff dreams to simple survival. After the Sooners dropped to 3-3 with their third loss, the attention around the program turned quickly to whether they can even extend a postseason streak that has become part of the schools standard.
The answer is far from settled, and that is what makes the coming weeks matter so much. Some analysts still see Oklahoma landing in a bowl game, with projections ranging from the Las Vegas Bowl to the Liberty Bowl, while others have them missing out entirely as the SEC and Big Ten bowl picture starts to take shape around them. The selection process brings its own complications, including conference tie-ins and possible matchups with old rivals, leaving the Sooners in a precarious spot with little margin left to work with.
