  • Steelers' DeShon Elliott: Nabs pick vs. Falcons

    Elliot logged four total tackles (one solo) and defended two passes, including one interception, during Sunday's 18-10 win over the Falcons.

  • Steelers' DeShon Elliott: Records one tackle Friday

    Elliott (lower body) recorded one tackle during Friday's 20-12 preseason loss to the Texans. Elliott was carted off the field during Wednesday's practice session due to a lower-body injury, but he started during Friday's preseason opener. As long as he can remain healthy ahead of the regular season, he appears to be the favorite to start at strong safety this year after signing a two-year contract with the Steelers in March.

  • Dolphins' DeShon Elliott: Free agency looms

    Elliott (calf) racked up 82 tackles (53 solo), seven pass breakups, one interception, and one fumble recovery across 15 regular-season appearances. Elliott put together an impressive season on his one-year deal with Miami, prior to a calf injury forcing him out of the team's playoff loss to Kansas City early. The severity of Elliott's calf issue remains undisclosed, but there's not yet any reason for significant worry about his health being a concern on the free agent market. Heading into his age-27 season, if Elliott doesn't opt for a reunion with the Dolphins, he should have little difficulty securing a starting role at safety elsewhere.

  • Dolphins' DeShon Elliott: Won't be available vs. Jets

    Elliott (concussion) is ruled out for Sunday's divisional matchup against New York, Travis Wingfield of the Dolphins' official site reports. Elliott will need to fully clear the NFL's five-step concussion protocol before being allowed to retake the field, so it also remains to be seen whether he'll be available to return Week 16 against the Cowboys. For at least Sunday's contest against the Jets, though, Brandon Jones looks set to start at strong safety.

  • Lions' DeShon Elliott: Angling for starting role

    Elliott should be in the mix for a starting role in 2022, Justin Rogers of The Detroit News reports. With Tracy Walker cemented at deep safety and AJ Parker commanding a starting nickelback role as a rookie, the 6-foot-1 Elliott would most likely fit in as a strong safety. After the Lions gave up on a 2019 third-rounder in Will Harris despite injuries at safety late last season, Elliott's competition for a potentially IDP-relevant role currently consists of a slew of undrafted projects like Jalen Elliott and C.J. Moore.
