The Tennessee Titans cut defensive lineman Jordan Elliott after he brought a gun to the team’s training facility, officials said Wednesday.Titans coach Robert Saleh defended Elliott and called his now-former player “a good man” who deserves another chance — but just not in Tennessee.“He’s a good man (who) had a terrible lapse in judgment that I recognize as a call for help more than a than a criminal act,” Saleh told reporters.“It’s unfortunate the way it went down.” Elliott had played in Tennessee’s first five games this season before being listed as inactive on Sunday for “not injury related, personal” reasons.Then by Tuesday, he was off the team.“On Thursday, October 15, there was an incident at our team facility involving Jordan Elliott,” according to a Titans statement.“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.”Elliott signed with Tennessee this past off season, following two years with the San Francisco 49ers and then four previous campaigns with the Cleveland Browns.Elliott’s move to Nashville made for a reunion between he and Titans first-year coach Saleh, who was the defensive coordinator in Santa Clara last season.The coach said he hopes Elliott can sign with another team and that he’d vouch for the player’s character.For SubscribersFOR SUBSCRIBERSWho knew a basket could be sexy?
