INJURIES
Good to go Sunday Elliss (shoulder) does not carry an injury designation ahead of Sunday's game at Miami.
Impact Elliss was limited in practice by a shoulder issue Wednesday and Thursday, but he was a full participant at practice Friday and is in line to play in Week 2. The Dolphins ran the ball just 12 times in Week 1, so if the Patriots get out to an early lead Sunday, there may not be very many opportunities for Elliss to make tackles.

Tending to shoulder injury Elliss (shoulder) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday.
Impact Elliss led the Patriots in tackles in Week 1, but his status for Week 2 is now in question due to a shoulder issue he presumably picked up Sunday. He'll probably have to practice in full Thursday or Friday to avoid carrying an injury designation into the weekend.
SEPTEMBER 11, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Leading tackler in loss Elliss tallied eight tackles (five solo) during New England's loss versus the Raiders on Sunday.
Impact Elliss started off the season on a high note despite the loss as he racked up a team-high eight tackles. The 26-year-old re-signed with the Patriots this offseason after logging a career-high 81 tackles (42 solo), with 1.5 sacks, across 16 games last season.

Offer matched by New England The Patriots matched Elliss' offer sheet from the Raiders on Monday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Impact Elliss was extended an offer sheet by Las Vegas on March 19, but the Patriots are retaining the 26-year-old linebacker. His new contract is a two-year deal, per Mike Reiss of ESPN.com. Elliss logged a career-year in 2024, with80 tackles (42 solo) including 1.5 sacks, one interception, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery across 16 regular-season appearances (five starts).

Receives offer from Las Vegas Elliss signed an offer sheet from the Raiders on Wednesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Impact Elliss became a restricted free agent when the Patriots tendered him March 8. That gave New England the ability to match any offer that another team makes to Elliss, and the Patriots now have until Monday to match the Raiders' offer to the 26-year-old linebacker. Elliss started in five of 16 regular-season games for the Patriots in 2024 and finished with 80 tackles (42 solo), including 1.5 sacks, five pass defenses (one interception), one forced fumble and one fumble recovery.

MARCH 8, 2025 • KANSASCITY.COM
Tendered by New England The Patriots tendered Elliss on Saturday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Impact By tendering Elliss, the Patriots will have the opportunity to match any offer that another team makes for the 26-year-old interior linebacker. Elliss mostly played on special teams at the start of the 2024 regular season, but he saw his role on the defense grow due to the absence of Ja'Whaun Bentley (pectoral). Elliss ended up drawing five starts last year and accumulated 80 tackles (42 solo), including 1.5 sacks, five passes defended (one interception) and one forced fumble across 16 regular-season games.
MARCH 8, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Sees more defensive work in 2024 Elliss recorded 80 total tackles (42 solo), including 1.5 sacks, five passes defended, with one interception, and one forced fumble over 16 games in 2024.
Impact Elliss finished as the Patriots' third-leading tackler in 2024, setting new career highs in tackles, sacks, passes defended, interceptions and forced fumbles while playing 481 defensive snaps. The Idaho product made five starts this season, helping the Patriots' defense fill the void of the injured Ja'Whaun Bentley (pectoral), who tallied 347 total tackles from 2021 to 2023. He's set to become a restricted free agent this summer, meaning the Patriots will have the opportunity to match any offer he receivers. If Elliss returns to New England in 2025, he's likely to serve as one of the team's top reserve inside linebackers.

Past head injury Elliss (head) was left off the Patriots' injury report Wednesday.
Impact 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.

Questionable to return Elliss (head) is questionable to return Sunday versus the Cardinals.
Impact 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.

DECEMBER 2, 2024 • PATRIOTS.COM
Gets first pick as pro Elliss recorded four tackles (three solo) and an interception during Sunday's 25-24 loss versus the Colts.
Impact 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.
