The Tennessee Titans cut defensive lineman <\/a>Jordan Elliott after he took a gun to the team\u2019s training facility in a \u201cterrible lapse of judgment,\u201d officials said Wednesday.
Titans coach Robert Saleh defended Elliott and called him \u201ca good man\u201d who deserves another chance \u2014 just not in Tennessee.
\u201cHe\u2019s a good man [who] had a terrible lapse in judgment that I recognize as a call for help more than a criminal act,\u201d Saleh told reporters. \u201cIt\u2019s unfortunate the way it went down.\u201d
Union officials and Elliott\u2019s agent could not immediately be reached for comment Wednesday.
It wasn\u2019t immediately clear what might have prompted Elliott to take a firearm to the team\u2019s Nashville headquarters.
Nashville police were not called and did not respond to the scene, the police department said Wednesday.
\u201cThe league\u2019s firearm policy prohibits any personnel from bringing a firearm to club facilities, stadiums, and team hotels and on team planes or buses,\u201d the NFL said in a statement Wednesday. \u201cThe club promptly notified the league of the matter which is under review.\u201d
Elliott had played in Tennessee\u2019s first five games this season before he was listed as inactive Sunday<\/a> for \u201cnot injury related, personal\u201d reasons.
Then, by Tuesday, he was off the team.
\u201cOn Thursday, October 15, there was an incident at our team facility involving Jordan Elliott,\u201d the Titans said in a statement.
\u201cFollowing 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.\u201d
Elliott signed<\/a> with Tennessee in the offseason<\/a>, following two years with the San Francisco 49ers and four previous campaigns with the Cleveland Browns.
Elliott\u2019s move to Nashville made for a reunion<\/a> with Titans first-year coach Saleh, who was the 49ers\u2019 defensive coordinator last season.
Saleh said that he hopes Elliott can sign with another team and that he\u2019d vouch for his character.
\u201cUnfortunately, rules are rules with regards to guns on [team] property,\u201d Saleh said.
\u201cMy message to 31 other teams would be: If you need a hell of a run-stopping D tackle that can help you on a playoff run, give me a call. I\u2019ll tell you everything you need to know about him.\u201d
Elliott, 28, a Houston native, played college football for the Texas Longhorns and the Missouri Tigers before he was taken by Cleveland<\/a> in the third round of the 2020 NFL draft.
\u201cAt the end of the day, we\u2019re all humans,\u201d quarterback Cam Ward said. \u201cWe\u2019re all with him. I mean, he\u2019s a great person.\u201d
