Elliott was carted off the field during practice Wednesday due to a lower-body injury, Alan Saunders of SteelersNow.com reports.

Elliott signed a two-year contract with the Steelers in March and is considered the front-runner for the team's starting strong-safety job. Any lengthy absence could impact his ability to earn the job, although how much time Elliott could miss and the specifics of his injury have yet to be disclosed.
