Bears working out Jeffery Simmons' former Titans teammate

The Chicago Bears are once again looking to make moves at defensive tackle. According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, the Bears are hosting free agent Jordan Elliott for a workout on Tuesday.

It's the first time Elliott is meeting with a team since he was released by the Tennessee Titans last month after he went to his car to retrieve a gun after an argument with Titans offensive tackle JC Latham. Defensive lineman John Franklin-Meyers helped deescalate the situation, but it was a move that cost Elliott his job in Tennessee.

Titans head coach Robert Saleh said Elliott is a good person who had "a terrible lapse in judgment." He hoped Elliott would get another opportunity in the NFL, and we'll see fit hat comes in Chicago.

Perhaps a big part of the Bears exploring the possibility of bringing Elliott onboard after that incident is due to his former Titans teammate Jeffery Simmons, who Chicago recently acquired in a trade for a pair of first-round picks.

Elliott is a former third-round pick by the Cleveland Browns, who's also spent time with the San Francisco 49ers and most recently Titans. He's started 65 games and totaled 159 tackles, 11 tackles for loss, five sacks, 14 QB hits and five pass breakups.

This potential move is likely due to the loss of rotational piece Kentavius Street, who suffered a season-ending knee injury in a Week 8 win over the Seattle Seahawks. Elliott would provide solid depth along the defensive line and serve as a reunion with Simmons.
