Elliott (knee) has been ruled out for the Steelers' Week 2 contest against the Seahawks on Sunday, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.
Elliott suffered a sprained MCL in his left knee during the Steelers' Week 1 win against the Jets, finishing with six tackles (five solo) in just 26 defensive snaps. The injury could sideline him for a couple of weeks, per Alan Saunders of SteelersNow.com, which makes him a long shot to play in Pittsburgh's Week 3 road contest against New England on Sunday, Sept. 21. Chuck Clark worked with the Steelers' first-team defense at safety alongside Juan Thornhill following Elliott's exit, but the recently signed Jabrill Peppers could step up as the starter for as long as Elliott is sidelined.
