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.

Texas Saw Promise In This Test But One Problem Stood Out
Texas womens basketball got an early measuring stick in its exhibition against UConn, and even in an 83-61 loss there were reasons to feel better about where this group is headed. Senior forward Madison Booker set the tone with 23 points, while the game also offered a glimpse of what the Longhorns can expect from their freshmen as they settle into bigger roles. Against a perennial power, Texas had stretches that showed the kind of talent and depth it can lean on once the games start counting.
What stood out most, though, was the gap in the details that often decide high-level games. UConn got 27 points from junior forward Sarah Strong and consistently looked sharper on both ends, with the Huskies separating themselves through defense and shooting. For Texas, the encouraging individual performances were easy to see, but the bigger takeaway was clear: there is work to do before the Longhorns can match the standard set by an opponent like this.

Bijan Robinson Just Reopened A Painful Texas Culture Debate
Bijan Robinsons latest comments about his time at Texas have reopened an old discussion around the programs culture, and it is the kind of topic Longhorns fans never really let go of. The former star running back, who left for the NFL in 2023, described a locker room environment where not everyone was pulling in the same direction, raising fresh questions about how much buy-in really existed during his years in Austin.
His remarks landed because Texas has spent the Steve Sarkisian era trying to build toward true championship contention, and culture is often the line between getting close and getting there. Robinsons concern was not just about the past. It was about whether the habits and priorities around the program have been strong enough to support the kind of standard Texas is chasing now.

Arch Manning Suddenly Puts Texas' Quarterback Plan Under Pressure
Arch Mannings future has become one of the most closely watched questions around Texas, and not just because of the expectations that followed him to Austin. After a rough stretch and visible regression under Steve Sarkisian, the conversation around Manning has shifted from immediate promise to long-term fit, with analysts still viewing him as a possible first-round pick in the 2027 NFL Draft.
For Texas, that uncertainty matters because the programs quarterback plan suddenly feels a little less settled than it did a year ago. Manning could stay and try to grow inside the current setup, stay and do it under a revamped staff, or look elsewhere if he decides another program offers a better path for his development and draft stock. For now, the only clear thing is that his next move will shape more than just his own career. [Read more 🡒]
