Titans release player following incident at team facility

The team said there was an incident on October 15, and Elliott missed Friday’s practice for personal reasons and he also didn’t play in Sunday’s win over the Indianapolis Colts.

Elliott signed a two-year, $8 million deal with the Titans this offseason. He entered the league with the Cleveland Browns after being selected in the third round of the 2020 NFL Draft.

Elliott then spent four seasons with Cleveland before playing the previous two with the San Francisco 49ers, where he started 29 games.

New Titans head coach Robert Saleh had spent the previous two seasons with Elliott in San Francisco, where Saleh served as the team’s defensive coordinator.

This is a bit of a blow for the defense, and Elliott had done a solid job as a run stopper. In his absence against the Colts, it was second-year player Nazir Stackhouse who stepped in, and he also impressed after spending 2025 with the Green Bay Packers.

As of now, no further information has been reported about Elliott’s incident.
