Injury & Status History

Christian Elliss — Active
Elliss's 13 stops not only led New England, they also tied a career-best mark. The veteran linebacker logged a 100 percent defensive snap share for the fourth time this season and posted his second double-digit tackle performance. Elliss set a career best with 94 regular-season stops over 15 games last season, and he's on pace to easily surpass that mark with 51 tackles (including 1.0 sacks) through seven contests in 2026.
Christian Elliss — Active
Elliss was able to practice at full speed during the week despite the chest issue he was tending to, and it won't hold him out of action on gameday, either. He's on the fringe of the IDP radar in some formats for a Week 7 matchup against a run-first Bears offense.
Christian Elliss — Active
Elliss logged three consecutive full practices during Week 7 prep. The linebacker overcame his chest injury in each session and should do the same for Thursday night's game.

It wasn't a sure thing that Elliss would suit up after only participating in practice in a limited basis all week, but that ended up being enough. The veteran linebacker played through a similar issue last week against Buffalo, where he logged six combined tackles across 58 defensive snaps.
Christian Elliss — Questionable
Elliss was able to play through a chest injury against the Bills in Week 4, and he's drawn the questionable tag for Week 5 after stringing together a trio of limited practices. If he cannot play against Las Vegas, then Darius Muasau and Erick Hunter would be the top candidates to start next to Robert Spillane at inside linebacker.

Elliss's practice participation for Week 4 was limited by a chest injury, but he's been cleared to play Sunday after going through pregame warmups. The veteran linebacker has 19 tackles (11 solo), including 1.0 sacks, and one forced fumble through three games.
