Elliss (head) was left off the Patriots' injury report Wednesday. The 25-year-old sustained a head injury in the Patriots' Week 15 loss to the Cardinals, but his omission from Wednesday's injury report suggests that he's already recovered from the issue. With Elliss back at full health, he's expected to serve as one of New England's top inside linebackers in a divisional matchup against the Bills on Sunday.

Elliss (head) was left off the Patriots' injury report Wednesday. The 25-year-old sustained a head injury in the Patriots' Week 15 loss to the Cardinals, but his omission from Wednesday's injury report suggests that he's already recovered from the issue. With Elliss back at full health, he's expected to serve as one of New England's top inside linebackers in a divisional matchup against the Bills on Sunday.
Elliss (head) is questionable to return Sunday versus the Cardinals. Elliss suffered a head injury in the second half of Sunday's matchup, leaving his status for the rest of the game up in the air. The Patriots are already shorthanded at linebacker, and if Elliss can't return, they will have to turn to Sione Takitaki.
Elliss recorded four tackles (three solo) and an interception during Sunday's 25-24 loss versus the Colts. For the first interception of his career, Elliss found himself in the right place at the right time late in the first quarter when teammate Jahlani Tavai tipped an Anthony Richardson pass sky high. Despite the highlight play in Week 13, his production as a tackler isn't enough to keep him in the realm of IDP relevance for the fantasy playoffs in most formats.
Elliss (abdomen) is not among New England's inactives for Sunday's game against the Rams. Elliss will return from a one-game absence due to an injury to his abdomen. The 25-year-old's return will likely result in less defensive snaps for Sione Takitaki. Elliss accumulated 24 total tackles, including 1.0 sacks, in his three games prior to last week's absence.
Elliss (abdomen) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Rams. The Idaho product missed the Patriots' Week 10 win over the Bears due to an abdomen injury but practiced in a limited fashion throughout the week, giving himself a chance to play Sunday. If Elliss is forced to miss his second consecutive game in Week 11, expect Curtis Jacobs to start alongside Jahlani Tavai in New England's linebacker corps.
Elliss (abdomen) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice. Elliss missed the Patriots' Week 10 win over the Bears after likely worsening his abdomen injury the week prior. Wednesday's limited session suggests he could return as soon as Week 11, when the Rams travel to New England. Elliss' participation in practice Thursday and Friday will be the best indication of whether he can suit up Sunday.
Elliss (abdomen) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Bears, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports. Elliss didn't practice all week after likely worsening his abdomen injury in the Patriots' Week 9 loss to the Titans, so missing Sunday's contest comes as no surprise. Expect Raekwon McMillan to see increased work with New England's first-team defense while Elliss is sidelined in Week 10.
Elliss (abdomen) didn't practice Wednesday. Elliss recorded six total tackles across 43 defensive snaps while playing through his abdomen issue in the Patriots' Week 9 loss to the Titans. Wednesday's DNP could be a sign that his injury has worsened, and he'll likely need to upgrade to at least limited participation Thursday or Friday in order to suit up for Week 10's matchup against the Bears.
Elliss (abdomen) is active for Sunday's game against the Titans. After beginning the week as a non-participant at practice, Elliss logged limited workloads Thursday and Friday before drawing a questionable designation. He has ultimately gotten the green light to give it a go, so look for him to resume his usual responsibilities at inside linebacker.
