Titans cornerback Alontae Taylor fined $23,882 for unnecessary roughness in Week 8 loss to Bengals.

According to fan site Music City Miracles, the fine is for impermissible use of the helmet, and the play was not flagged on the field. It is Taylor's first fine of the 2026 season, after he finished that game with five tackles and two quarterback hits on Joe Burrow. Several Titans teammates, including Calvin Ridley and Jeffery Simmons, were fined earlier this season.

Bears plan to work out former Titans defensive tackle Jordan Elliott next week, according to NFL insider Jordan Schultz.

Windy City Gridiron reports Elliott was released by Tennessee on October 20 after an October 15 practice altercation with teammate JC Latham, in which he went to his car and grabbed a gun. Titans coach Robert Saleh described the incident as a small sign of a cry for help, and the league is investigating the gun being brought onto team property.

No. 3 in the 30-second version

Bengals coach Zac Taylor says Shemar Stewart will get more chances with Cashius Howell on IR.

Taylor told reporters Stewart has done everything the right way and is prepared for the opportunity, and the defensive line is deep. Stewart, the 2025 first-round pick, has battled injuries and missed much of training camp, and Cedric Johnson's injuries could also open snaps. Cincinnati, coming off an overtime win over Tennessee, faces Atlanta in Madrid early Sunday morning, according to Cincy Jungle.

Colts have told teams they received a fourth-round pick offer for WR Josh Downs, according to ESPN.

Stampede Blue, a Colts fan blog, reports citing NFL insider Ari Meirov that Indianapolis has been offered more for nose tackle Grover Stewart than it got for DeForest Buckner.
