Aaron Wilson of KPRC in Houston reports that Elliott was cut after he went to his car to grab a gun, apparently to confront a teammate after an altercation during practice. Wilson added that security cameras caught Elliott’s actions.

Employed at the time by the Titans, defensive tackle Jordan Elliott got into an argument with offensive tackle JC Latham stemming from Elliott and Latham tangling play. After being told to leave the field, Elliott, who was officially released Tuesday after this incident transpired last Thursday, took off his pads on the sideline and stormed out of the Titans’ training facility.
Elliott went to his car in the players’ parking area to retrieve his gun, presumably to confront Latham with the entire sequence captured by security cameras, per sources. The peacemaker that talked Elliott down, per sources: Titans veteran defensive lineman John Franklin-Myers.
Wilson’s sources were shocked by Elliott’s actions.
“This was so crazy,” an NFL source said. “Jordan has been having a lot of problems away from the building and obviously he brought it to work with him. There was no reason for him to go off like that. Everyone thought that was wild. To overreact like that is absolutely crazy. We’re just glad that no one got hurt and it’s over.”
It’s highly likely that Elliott will not get another NFL job following the bizarre incident.
