  • Steelers' DeShon Elliott: Ruled out for Sunday

    Elliott (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Colts, Mark Kaboly of 93.7 The Fan Pittsburgh reports.

    Elliott returned to practice Thursday after the Steelers opened up his 21-day return window. The safety logged two limited sessions in Week 5 as he works through a persistent knee injury. It remains unclear if Elliott will be ready to suit up for Week 6 or if he will need even more time to recover.

  • Steelers' DeShon Elliott: Returns to practice Thursday

    Elliott (undisclosed) returned to practice Thursday, Teresa Varley of the team's official site reports.

    The 21-day practice window opened Thursday. While Elliott was only back on the practice field in a limited capacity, it was still a step in the right direction. However, despite his presence at practice Thursday, the team might need to wait a few more weeks before he's ready to suit up, with Mike DeFabo of The Athletic reporting his return may not happen until the Steelers play the Saints in Paris on Oct. 25.

  • Steelers' DeShon Elliott: Starting season on IR

    Elliott (undisclosed) was placed on injured reserve by the Steelers on Sunday with a designation to return, Teresa Varley of the team's official website reports.

    Elliott suffered a pair of knee injuries in 2025, the latter of which sidelined him for the last two-plus months of the campaign. The safety was able to return to practice in late July, and he registered four total tackles (three solo) during the preseason. It's unclear if Elliott is still dealing with a knee issue or something new, but he will now be forced to miss at least four contests to begin the regular season.

  • Steelers' DeShon Elliott: Back at practice Friday

    Elliott (knee) took first-team reps in Friday's practice after being held out of Thursday's session, Andrew Vasquez of USA Today reports.

    Elliott was limited to just five regular-season games in 2025 due to a knee injury, with his last game taking place Week 8 against the Packers. He appears to be fully healthy for the start of training camp and projects to start alongside Jaquan Brisker at safety, with Darnell Savage providing depth at the position.

  • Steelers' DeShon Elliott: Injury-shortened campaign in 2025

    Elliott (knee) recorded 38 total tackles (20 solo), including 1.0 sacks, while also adding two passes defensed, one of which was an interception, and a forced fumble over five games during the 2025 regular season.

    Elliott suffered a sprained MCL in Pittsburgh's Week 1 win over the Jets before he later suffered a season-ending knee injury against the Packers in Week 8. The safety was rather productive when active, but the five appearances set a new career-low for the 28-year-old. Elliott signed a two-year, $12.5 million contract extension with the Steelers prior to the campaign, so he'll look to get back to full strength and compete for a starting role with the team in 2026.
