Commanders' Corn Elder: Participates in finale Saturday
Elder (concussion) recorded two tackles during Washington's preseason game against Baltimore on Saturday.
Elder returned from concussion protocol just in time to suit up heading into the Commanders' final roster cuts Tuesday. The 2017 fifth-round pick was able to play just over half (53 percent) of the team's defensive snaps against the Ravens on Saturday, and his performance in this game could ultimately determine whether he earned a roster spot ahead of cornerbacks DeJuan Neal and Josh Drayden.

Commanders' Corn Elder: In concussion protocol
Elder entered concussion protocol during Saturday's 24-14 preseason loss at Kansas City, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.
Elder, who is probably on the roster bubble with the 53-man roster deadline fast approaching, will hope to clear protocol and get back onto the field as quickly as possible. In the meantime, rookie seventh-round pick Christian Holmes should see increased opportunities as long as Elder is out.

Elder recorded an interception during Friday's preseason loss to Indianapolis.
Despite looking healthy after missing time with a hamstring injury, Elder played behind Mike Ford and clearly seems to have lost his status as favorite for the starting job at nickelback. While he may stick around as a depth option, Elder's spot on the roster doesn't seem safe.

Lions' Corn Elder: Injures hamstring
Elder injured his hamstring in practice Monday, Justin Rogers of The Detroit News reports.

Lions' Corn Elder: Competing for starting job
Elder seems to be competing with Mike Ford for the starting job at nickel cornerback, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.
With Justin Coleman long gone, Detroit needs someone to defend the slot. After going from special-teamer in 2019 to logging 411 defensive snaps for Carolina in 2020, Elder is a player on the rise who will have a chance to fill that role for the Lions.

Lions' Corn Elder: Gets prove-it deal with Lions
Elder signed a one-year contract with the Lions on Thursday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Elder spent much of his career in Carolina as a standout on special teams, but last season injuries thrust him into the starting lineup. He used his opportunities to notch a career-high 40 tackles (28 solo) and three pass breakups in 16 contests. Now with the Lions, Elder will look to make the most of his one-year deal and prove himself as worthy of a consistent defensive role.

Panthers' Corn Elder: Sees expanded role
Elder finished the 2020 season with 40 tackles (28 solo), three passes defended and one fumble forced in 16 games.
Elder entered the campaign with just three career tackles, so 2020 easily marked his best professional season. Although his production was still modest, Elder played nearly 40 percent of Carolina's defensive snaps, trailing only Rasul Douglas and Donte Jackson among cornerbacks. It'll be interesting to see if he returns to the Panthers as a restricted free agent this offseason.
