A year ago, former Cleveland Browns third-round pick and 35-game starter Jordan Elliott visited Cleveland as a member of the 49ers, the team for which he left Northeast Ohio in 2024, after the Browns did not bring him back.
Elliott had been in Cleveland since 2020, when he was drafted out of Missouri, but the Browns did not bring him back and he signed on with the 49ers for two years and $10 million. Elliott’s 49ers won that game, and he jumped to the Titans this season.
Elliott appeared poised to try to enact another bit of revenge against his former team when the Browns go to Tennessee on Sunday, but the latest NFL news changes that.
Browns Won’t Face Jordan Elliott
The Titans announced that they would be releasing Elliott on October 20.
Something odd happened last week, with Tennessee head coach Robert Saleh telling the media Elliott would not be available for the game because he was dealing with “personal stuff.”
On Tuesday morning, it was revealed that the Titans were abruptly cutting Elliott, though the exact reason was a mystery.
Titans Issue Statement on Elliott’s Release
In a statement from the Titans, it was revealed that the former Browns draftee had apparently been involved in an incident at the team facility.
From the statement: “On Thursday, October 15, there was an incident at our team facility involving Jordan Elliott. 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.”
The Browns and Titans will play in Nashville at 1 p.m. ET on Sunday.
