Post Position: How Louisville is becoming a sports business pacesetter - Sports Business Journal

Jordan Elliott, the defensive lineman released Tuesday by the Tennessee Titans, reportedly ⁠went to his car to retrieve a gun after an altercation in practice last ⁠Thursday. Ordered to leave ⁠the ​field after a scuffle with right tackle JC Latham, Elliott took off his ⁠pads, left the facility and went to the players’ lot where security cameras captured the ⁠scene, according to multiple reports from A to Z Sports ​and KPRC2. Defensive lineman John ‌Franklin-Myers reportedly talked ‌Elliott down and no one was hurt. Elliott did ‌not practice Friday due to “personal reasons” and was inactive for Sunday’s 26-20 win against the Indianapolis Colts. After reviewing the footage, the Titans opted to release the 28-year-old, who had signed a two-year, $8m ‌deal during the offseason. “On Thursday 15 October, there was an incident at our team ​facility involving Jordan Elliott,” the Titans said in a 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 appeared ​in the ​first five games of the season for the Titans.
