Jonah Elliss - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Records 2.5 sacks in second season Elliss recorded 28 tackles (16 solo), including 2.5 sacks, one pass defensed and one forced fumble in 13 games with Denver in 2025.

Impact Elliss recorded career lows in tackles, sacks and passes defensed in 2025, as the second-year linebacker played behind Jonathon Cooper and Nik Bonitto at outside linebacker, one of the best pass-rushing duos in the league. Nonetheless, Elliss was able to be effective in his limited depth role despite missing games due to shoulder, rib and hamstring injuries. Still on his rookie contract, the Utah product will look to continue his development within the Broncos' imposing pass-rushing unit.

Back to full speed Elliss (hamstring) was a full participant at Wednesday's practice, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.

Impact Elliss is expected to return to the lineup after missing the last two games. The second-year linebacker has yet to play more than 50 percent of the defensive snaps in a game this season. He has produced 14 tackles (11 solo), 1.0 sacks and a pass breakup through eight games.

Questionable for SNF Elliss (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday night's game against the Commanders.

Impact Elliss was unable to practice in any capacity before being inactive for the Broncos' Week 11 victory over the Chiefs, so the outside linebacker stringing together limited sessions is a significant improvement. It remains to be seen if a limited week is enough to give the 22-year-old the green light, but if he is unable to go, Que Robinson may be in line for a larger rotational workload.

Logs limited session Elliss (hamstring) logged a limited practice Wednesday.

Impact Elliss has missed the better part of Denver's last two games with the hamstring injury. He did not practice at all ahead of being inactive for Denver's Week 11 win over the Chiefs, so his limited session Wednesday is a positive step forward.

Ruled out for rest of Thursday Elliss (shoulder) has been ruled out for the remainder of Thursday night's contest versus Las Vegas, Nick Kosmider of The Athletic reports.

Impact Elliss sustained a hamstring injury in the third quarter, and his night has officially now come to an end. The Broncos' next contest will come Nov. 16 against the Chiefs, so the linebacker will have some extra time to rest up prior to that matchup.

Questionable to return Thursday Elliss (shoulder) is questionable to return to Thursday night's contest against the Raiders, Parker Gabriel of The Denver Post reports.

Impact Elliss suffered a hamstring injury early in the second half, leaving his status for the rest of the game uncertain. In his absence, Dondrea Tillman is a candidate to see additional snaps as a reserve option at outside linebacker behind Jonathan Cooper and Nik Bonitto.

All set for Week 8 Elliss (shoulder) was a full participant at practice Thursday.

Impact Elliss appears to be set to return to action in Week 8 after missing the team's last two contests with a shoulder injury. The linebacker has compiled 11 total tackles (nine solo), including 1.0 sacks, while also adding a pass defensed and a forced fumble over five games this year.

Back practicing in limited fashion Elliss (shoulder) was a limited practice participant Wednesday.

Impact Elliss last played in Week 5 against Philadelphia, and he's missed the Broncos' subsequent two games due to injury. The second-year linebacker didn't practice at all last week, so his limited session Wednesday represents a step in the right direction toward a return. Nonetheless, Elliss should be considered iffy to suit up Sunday against Dallas.

Won't face Giants Elliss (shoulder) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Giants.

Impact Elliss was sidelined for Denver's Week 6 win over the Jets and failed to practice in any capacity this week. He'll miss his second consecutive game, and it appears his absence could extend beyond Week 7.

Doesn't practice Wednesday Elliss (shoulder) did not participate in Wednesday's practice.

Impact Elliss's injury designation for Wednesday's practice was for just a shoulder injury, which indicates the 2024 third-rounder is past a rib issue that he picked up during the Broncos' Week 5 win over the Eagles. He'll have two more opportunities this week to practice in at least a limited capacity, which would give him a chance at being cleared to play against the Giants on Sunday.

OCTOBER 11, 2025 • SPORTINGNEWS.COM

Out for Week 6 Elliss (ribs/shoulder) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Jets.

Impact Elliss' absence Sunday comes as no surprise, as the 22-year-old missed Denver's entire week of practice due to rib and shoulder injuries likely sustained in the Week 5 win over the Eagles. Que Robinson and Dondrea Tillman could receive increased defensive snaps as reserve outside linebackers while Elliss is sidelined in Week 6.
