According to NFL.com, Elliott became involved in an altercation with Titans teammate JC Latham at the team’s facility on October 15. Head coach Robert Salah confirmed reports that Elliott attempted to retrieve a firearm from his vehicle, and the Titans released him five days later.

NFL rules prohibit personnel from possessing firearms on team property, according to reports.

Saleh called the incident a “terrible lapse in judgment,” but said Elliott was a “good man” when discussing the incident.

“He’s a good man. Made a terrible, had a terrible lapse in judgment that I recognize as a call for help more than a criminal act,” he told reporters in Tennessee, according to the Associated Press. "He’s never committed a crime in his entire life and he pulled a gun, in the parking lot.”

In parts of seven NFL seasons with the Browns, 49ers and Titans, Elliott has five sacks and 159 total tackles in 102 games. He had 11 total tackles in five games with the Titans before his release. He had signed a two-year deal with the team prior to the season.
