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.

Elliss (abdomen) didn't practice Wednesday. Elliss recorded six total tackles across 43 defensive snaps while playing through his abdomen issue in the Patriots' Week 9 loss to the Titans. Wednesday's DNP could be a sign that his injury has worsened, and he'll likely need to upgrade to at least limited participation Thursday or Friday in order to suit up for Week 10's matchup against the Bears.

Elliss (abdomen) is active for Sunday's game against the Titans. After beginning the week as a non-participant at practice, Elliss logged limited workloads Thursday and Friday before drawing a questionable designation. He has ultimately gotten the green light to give it a go, so look for him to resume his usual responsibilities at inside linebacker.

Elliss (abdomen) did not practice Wednesday. Elliss logged a team-high nine tackles (three solo), including 1.0 sacks, during the Patriots' Week 8 win over the Jets. However, it appears he may have injured his abdomen in the process, which kept him off the practice field Wednesday. Elliss will have two more chances this week to practice in some capacity ahead of Sunday's game against Tennessee.

Elliss recorded nine tackles (four solo) during Sunday's 32-16 loss against the Jaguars. For the first time this season, Elliss played more defensive snaps (40) than teammate Raekwon McMillan (11) and parlayed his expanded role into a season-high tackle total. He'll look forward to building on that momentum in Week 8 versus the Jets, though it's unlikely they run the ball as many times (39) as Jacksonville did Sunday.
