Elliss (knee) was a full practice participant Thursday, Will McFadden of the Falcons' official site reports. A knee injury limited Elliss's practice participation Wednesday, but the 2019 seventh-round pick was able to practice without restrictions Thursday. Barring any setbacks, Elliss should be able to suit up against the Cowboys on Sunday. Elliss has logged 65 combined tackles through the first eight games of the regular season, which is most on the Falcons and ranks No. 14 in the NFL.

Elliss posted nine tackles (four solo) during Sunday's 18-10 loss to the Steelers. Picking up where he left off last season, Elliss was a tackle machine versus the Steelers. He played all 68 defensive snaps, while Troy Andersen and Nate Landman split time at the other ILB spot in Atlanta's new-look 3-4 defense. Given his role in Week 1, Elliss should be a premier IDP option moving forward. Elliss posted 122 tackles, including 4.0 sacks, and three pass defenses last year, his first with the Falcons.
