Broncos' Jonah Elliss: Records 2.5 sacks in second season
Elliss recorded 28 tackles (16 solo), including 2.5 sacks, one pass defensed and one forced fumble in 13 regular-season games with Denver in 2025.
Elliss recorded career lows in tackles, sacks and passes defensed in 2025, as the second-year linebacker played behind Jonathon Cooper and Nik Bonitto at outside linebacker, one of the best pass-rushing duos in the league. Nonetheless, Elliss was able to be effective in his limited depth role despite missing games due to shoulder, rib and hamstring injuries. Still on his rookie contract, the Utah product will look to continue his development within the Broncos' imposing pass-rushing unit.

Broncos' Jonah Elliss: Back to full speed
Elliss (hamstring) was a full participant at Wednesday's practice, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.
Elliss is expected to return to the lineup after missing the last two games. The second-year linebacker has yet to play more than 50 percent of the defensive snaps in a game this season. He has produced 14 tackles (11 solo), 1.0 sacks and a pass breakup through eight games.

Broncos' Jonah Elliss: Won't face Commanders
Elliss (hamstring) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Commanders, Mike Klis of 9News Denver reports.
Elliss has battled separate injuries of late, and he'll now miss his second straight game with the hamstring issue. Que Robinson should see an increased role in Elliss's absence.

Broncos' Jonah Elliss: Questionable for SNF
Elliss (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday night's game against the Commanders.
Elliss was unable to practice in any capacity before being inactive for the Broncos' Week 11 victory over the Chiefs, so the outside linebacker stringing together limited sessions is a significant improvement. It remains to be seen if a limited week is enough to give the 22-year-old the green light, but if he is unable to go, Que Robinson may be in line for a larger rotational workload.

Elliss (hamstring) logged a limited practice Wednesday.
Elliss has missed the better part of Denver's last two games with the hamstring injury. He did not practice at all ahead of being inactive for Denver's Week 11 win over the Chiefs, so his limited session Wednesday is a positive step forward.

Broncos' Jonah Elliss: Won't play vs. Kansas City
Elliss (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Chiefs.
Elliss sustained a hamstring injury during the Broncos' Week 10 win over the Raiders. He was unable to practice this past week, and the second-year linebacker will be sidelined for Sunday's AFC West tilt. Dondrea Tillman and rookie fourth-rounder Que Robinson will serve as the Broncos' rotational outside linebackers behind Jonathan Cooper and Nik Bonitto in Elliss's absence.

Elliss (hamstring) has been ruled out for the remainder of Thursday night's contest versus Las Vegas, Nick Kosmider of The Athletic reports.
Elliss sustained a hamstring injury in the third quarter, and his night has officially now come to an end. The Broncos' next contest will come Nov. 16 against the Chiefs, so the linebacker will have some extra time to rest up prior to that matchup.

Elliss (hamstring) is questionable to return to Thursday night's contest against the Raiders, Parker Gabriel of The Denver Post reports.

Elliss (shoulder) was a full participant at practice Thursday.
Elliss appears to be set to return to action in Week 8 after missing the team's last two contests with a shoulder injury. The linebacker has compiled 11 total tackles (nine solo), including 1.0 sacks, while also adding a pass defensed and a forced fumble over five games this year.

Broncos' Jonah Elliss: Back practicing in limited fashion
Elliss (shoulder) was a limited practice participant Wednesday.
Elliss last played in Week 5 against Philadelphia, and he's missed the Broncos' subsequent two games due to injury. The second-year linebacker didn't practice at all last week, so his limited session Wednesday represents a step in the right direction toward a return. Nonetheless, Elliss should be considered iffy to suit up Sunday against Dallas.
