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.
Analysis: 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.

Back to full speed
Elliss (hamstring) was a full participant at Wednesday's practice, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.
Analysis: 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.

Won't face Commanders
Elliss (hamstring) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Commanders, Mike Klis of 9News Denver reports.
Analysis: 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.

Questionable for SNF
Elliss (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday night's game against the Commanders.
Analysis: 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.

Logs limited session
Elliss (hamstring) logged a limited practice Wednesday.
Analysis: 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.

Won't play vs. Kansas City
Elliss (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Chiefs.
Analysis: 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.

Ruled out for rest of Thursday
Elliss (hamstring) has been ruled out for the remainder of Thursday night's contest versus Las Vegas, Nick Kosmider of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: 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.

Questionable to return Thursday
Elliss (hamstring) is questionable to return to Thursday night's contest against the Raiders, Parker Gabriel of The Denver Post reports.
Analysis: Elliss suffered a hamstring injury early in the second half, leaving his status for the rest of the game uncertain. In his absence, Dondrea Tillman is a candidate to see additional snaps as a reserve option at outside linebacker behind Jonathan Cooper and Nik Bonitto.

All set for Week 8
Elliss (shoulder) was a full participant at practice Thursday.
Analysis: 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.

Back practicing in limited fashion
Elliss (shoulder) was a limited practice participant Wednesday.
Analysis: 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.

Won't face Giants
Elliss (shoulder) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Giants.
Analysis: Elliss was sidelined for Denver's Week 6 win over the Jets and failed to practice in any capacity this week. He'll miss his second consecutive game, and it appears his absence could extend beyond Week 7.

Doesn't practice Wednesday
Elliss (shoulder) did not participate in Wednesday's practice.
Analysis: Elliss's injury designation for Wednesday's practice was for just a shoulder injury, which indicates the 2024 third-rounder is past a rib issue that he picked up during the Broncos' Week 5 win over the Eagles. He'll have two more opportunities this week to practice in at least a limited capacity, which would give him a chance at being cleared to play against the Giants on Sunday.

Out for Week 6
Elliss (ribs/shoulder) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Jets.
Analysis: Elliss' absence Sunday comes as no surprise, as the 22-year-old missed Denver's entire week of practice due to rib and shoulder injuries likely sustained in the Week 5 win over the Eagles. Que Robinson and Dondrea Tillman could receive increased defensive snaps as reserve outside linebackers while Elliss is sidelined in Week 6.

Sits out another practice
Ellis (ribs/shoulder) is not participating in Thursday's practice, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.
Analysis: Elliss has now missed back-to-back practices, so it seems like he's facing long odds to be ready for Sunday's game against the Jets in London. For any chance at being cleared to play Week 6, the second-year pro will need to get back on the practice field as at least a limited participant Friday.

Dealing with injuries
Elliss (ribs/shoulder) didn't practice Wednesday.
Analysis: Despite playing 45 total snaps (26 on special teams, 19 on defense) and recording three total tackles during the Broncos' Week 5 win over the Eagles, the second-year pro from Utah appears to have picked up rib and shoulder injuries. He likely needs to practice in some capacity either Thursday or Friday to have a chance at suiting up in Week 6, when the Broncos play the Jets in London.

Practicing to begin camp
Elliss was practicing with the Broncos on Wednesday to begin training camp, Jon Heath of Broncos Wire reports.
Analysis: Elliss suffered a fractured scapula in Denver's wild-card loss to the Bills to conclude the 2024 campaign. The issue wasn't expected to impact his 2025 season, and that now seems to be confirmed given his activity at the start of training camp.

Dealing with fractured scapula bone
Elliss's father said Friday that Elliss fractured the scapula bone in his right shoulder in Sunday's wild-card loss to Buffalo but will likely be ready for offseason drills in April, Chris Tomasson of The Denver Gazette reports.
Analysis: Luther Elliss, Jonah's father, likely has more insight into football injuries than most since he was a defensive tackle in the NFL for 10 seasons from 1995 to 2004. The elder Elliss said of his son's injury that "it's just a broken bone" and suggested that the recovery timeline will be "six weeks." Luther Elliss also stated that Jonah's current injury isn't related to the torn right labrum he suffered in 2023 while playing in college for Utah, per Tomasson.

Exits game due to shoulder injury
Elliss (shoulder) is questionable to return to Sunday's AFC wild-card game against the Bills, Nick Kosmider of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Elliss injured his right shoulder in the first half of Sunday's game, and he was seen headed to the locker room holding his arm, per Mike Klis of 9news.com. Dondrea Tillman will serve as the Broncos' primary edge rushing backup behind Jonathon Cooper and Nik Bonitto for as long as Elliss is out of the game.

Recovered from shoulder injury
Elliss (shoulder) has been an active participant at the Broncos' training camp, Aric DiLalla of the team's official website reports.
Analysis: Elliss has fully recovered from the surgery he underwent to address a torn shoulder labrum last season. The 21-year-old appears to be set to operate as a primary reserve option behind Jonathan Cooper at weakside linebacker on Denver's defense in 2024.

On pace with recovery
Elliss (shoulder) should be fully recovered from shoulder surgery by training camp, Mike Klis of 9News reports.
Analysis: Elliss underwent surgery to repair a torn shoulder labrum six months ago, but he still isn't quite 100 percent. However, the Broncos' 2024 third-round selection was able to take part in walkthroughs and individual portions of the team's recent rookie minicamp. The son of former NFL player Luther Elliss, Jonah projects to be a pass-rush specialist after recording 12 sacks in just 10 games at Utah last season.
