Patriots' Christian Elliss: Making return in Week 11
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.

Patriots' Christian Elliss: Could return Sunday
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.

Patriots' Christian Elliss: Limited Wednesday
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.

Patriots' Christian Elliss: Won't play in Week 10
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.

Patriots' Christian Elliss: Questionable for Week 9
Elliss (abdomen) is questionable to play Sunday versus Tennessee.
Elliss opened the week as a non-participant at practice due to an abdomen injury, but he was able to log limited practice sessions both Thursday and Friday, opening the door for him to play in Week 9. If the linebacker is unable to go, Raekwon McMillan is a candidate to draw the start in his place against the Titans.

Patriots' Christian Elliss: Returns to practice Thursday
Elliss (abdomen) was listed as a limited practice participant on Thursday's injury report.
Elliss opened the week as a DNP due to an abdomen injury he likely picked up during the Patriots' Week 8 win over the Jets. His return to practice Thursday, even as a limited participant, is a step in the right direction, and Friday's injury report should provide clarity on Elliss's chances of playing against the Titans on Sunday. If he's unable to play, Raekwon McMillan could see snaps with the first-team defense at inside linebacker.

Elliss recorded nine tackles (three solo) and a sack in Sunday's 25-22 win over the Jets.

Patriots' Christian Elliss: Solid in starting role
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.
