Elliss (head) was left off the Patriots' injury report Wednesday. The 25-year-old sustained a head injury in the Patriots' Week 15 loss to the Cardinals, but his omission from Wednesday's injury report suggests that he's already recovered from the issue. With Elliss back at full health, he's expected to serve as one of New England's top inside linebackers in a divisional matchup against the Bills on Sunday.
-
Elliss (abdomen) is not among New England's inactives for Sunday's game against the Rams. Elliss will return from a one-game absence due to an injury to his abdomen. The 25-year-old's return will likely result in less defensive snaps for Sione Takitaki. Elliss accumulated 24 total tackles, including 1.0 sacks, in his three games prior to last week's absence.

Elliss (abdomen) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Rams. The Idaho product missed the Patriots' Week 10 win over the Bears due to an abdomen injury but practiced in a limited fashion throughout the week, giving himself a chance to play Sunday. If Elliss is forced to miss his second consecutive game in Week 11, expect Curtis Jacobs to start alongside Jahlani Tavai in New England's linebacker corps.
-
Elliss (abdomen) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice. Elliss missed the Patriots' Week 10 win over the Bears after likely worsening his abdomen injury the week prior. Wednesday's limited session suggests he could return as soon as Week 11, when the Rams travel to New England. Elliss' participation in practice Thursday and Friday will be the best indication of whether he can suit up Sunday.

Elliss (abdomen) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Bears, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports. Elliss didn't practice all week after likely worsening his abdomen injury in the Patriots' Week 9 loss to the Titans, so missing Sunday's contest comes as no surprise. Expect Raekwon McMillan to see increased work with New England's first-team defense while Elliss is sidelined in Week 10.
