Defensive tackle Jordan Elliott who was released by the Titans last month after an incident at the team’s facility, was one of the players the Bears worked out Tuesday, according to ESPN.
That does not necessarily mean a signing is imminent. Teams often work out players to keep their scouting reports updated in case of future needs.
Last month, Elliott got in an argument with Titans right tackle JC Latham and went to his car to get a gun before the incident was de-escalated. Titans coach Robert Saleh said then that “rules are rules with regard to guns” on team property. He was not arrested.
“He’s a good man … ” Saleh said. “Had a terrible lapse in judgment that I recognize as a call for help more than a criminal act. He’s never committed a crime in his entire life and he pulled a gun in the parking lot.”
Elliott played for Saleh with the 49ers. The Titans signed him a two-year, $8 million deal during the offseason. He’s familiar with Jeffery Simmons, the former Titans star for whom the Bears traded late last month.
Elliott has started 65 games in seven seasons with the Browns, 49ers and Titans. He’s considered a solid run defender.
The Bears don’t have a glaring need at the position, even after losing Kentavius Street for the season because of a knee injury last week. Simmons played 97% of the Bears’ defensive snaps Sunday night, while fellow defensive tackle Grady Jarrett played 76% of the time.
