What happened: An NFL spokesman confirmed Thursday, per Adam Schefter, that the league is reviewing the circumstances that led the Tennessee Titans to release defensive tackle Jordan Elliott on Oct. 20. The transaction followed an Oct. 15 practice altercation after which a firearm was brought onto the training facility premises.

Why it matters: If investigators establish a violation of league policy, Elliott would be permitted to serve any resulting suspension even while he remains an unrestricted free agent. Resolving that disciplinary status while unsigned would clarify his availability before any club evaluates signing him during the 2026 regular season.

What to watch: League officials have not set a timeline for concluding the review or announcing whether formal discipline will be imposed.
