Niner Noise argues that Tennessee Titans head coach Robert Saleh's defense of defensive tackle Jordan Elliott could potentially lead to a reunion with the San Francisco 49ers. The Titans released Elliott following an incident where he retrieved a firearm from his vehicle after a practice argument with a teammate, though Saleh publicly defended Elliott's character.

The writer suggests that despite the off-field concerns, the 6-0 49ers need defensive line depth behind Osa Odighizuwa and Gracen Halton. While acknowledged as a risky move, the author notes San Francisco could consider Elliott for run-stopping help if injuries occur.
