Titans player Jordan Elliott got angry at teammate, went to his car for a gun and ended up unemployed

The Tennessee Titans released defensive tackle Jordan Elliott on Tuesday over an incident last week in which he got into a practice fight with a teammate and it became so heated he was told to leave practice – at which point, a source told OutKick, he went to retrieve a firearm out of his car.

That must have been some practice altercation.

And a major over-reaction to the altercation with a teammate.

The chain of events that led to all this, some of which were first reported by A to Z Sports, started routinely enough.

Elliott, who joined the Titans in the offseason after signing a two-year free agent contract worth $8 million, got into a practice argument with offensive tackle J.C.

Latham.

The two players, the source said, grabbed each other and Elliott apparently grabbed Latham's facemask.

It is unclear if punches were thrown but none of any effect were landed.

After teammates broke up the fight, Elliott was still visibly aggressive so he was told to leave the field by coaches.

He angrily took off his pads and tossed them on a sideline before walking away.

Elliott was so angry he stormed from the locker room to the players' parking garage.

Security cameras captured Elliott going to his car and coming away with what appeared on camera to be a firearm.
