Elliott (hamstring) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Eagles, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports. Elliott's absence Sunday comes as no surprise, as the 27-year-old was unable to practice all week after sustaining a hamstring injury in the Steelers' Week 14 win over the Browns. Damontae Kazee is expected to serve as Pittsburgh's starting strong safety while Elliott is sidelined in Week 15.

Elliott recorded 11 tackles (seven solo) during Sunday's 44-38 win over the Bengals. Elliott led the Steelers in tackles Sunday with his second-highest total of the season. Over his first 12 appearances this season, the 27-year-old has tallied 83 tackles (55 solo), three fumble recoveries, two forced fumbles, an interception and five total pass defenses.
-
Elliott totaled six tackles (four solo) in Sunday's 28-27 win over the Commanders. Elliott was the second-leading tackler for the Steelers on Sunday behind Patrick Queen (seven). Elliott has logged at least six tackles in eight of nine regular-season games, and on the year he's up to 64 tackles (42 solo), four pass defenses (including one interception), one forced fumble and one fumble recovery.

Elliott (back) does not carry an injury designation for Monday's game against the Giants, Dale Lolley of the Steelers' official site reports. Elliott logged a DNP-LP-FP practice pattern leading up to Week 8 action, and the veteran safety has now managed to avoid Pittsburgh's final injury report entirely. He's played 100 percent of defensive snaps over the Steelers' last two games and has racked up an impressive 51 tackles (33 solo) through seven appearances so far. He also has one pass breakup and one interception.

Elliott (back) was listed as a DNP on Thursday's injury report, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports. Elliott played every single defensive snap during the Steelers' Week 7 win over the Jets, finishing with six solo tackles. He may have picked up a back injury during the win, however, which kept him off the practice field Thursday. Elliott will have two more chances to return to practice ahead of Monday night's game against the Giants.
