Rotowire
The Falcons are planning to sign Ellis on Friday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Per Rapoport, Ellis impressed during a workout Friday and will get a chance to compete for a roster spot. The Falcons may be without Calais Campbell (undisclosed) for a large portion of the preseason, so Ellis, who's joining his third team in as many years, should have plenty of opportunities to showcase his skills.

Raiders' Justin Ellis: Dealing with strained ligaments in foot
Rotowire
Ellis sustained strained ligaments in his foot in Monday's season-opening loss to the Rams, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
The Raiders are labeling Ellis as week-to-week with the injury, making it unlikely he'll be ready to play Sunday in Denver. After tallying 48 stops in 16 games in 2017, Ellis was shut out of the tackle column across 52 snaps in the Week 1 loss before departing. In addition to Ellis, fellow defensive tackles P.J. Hall (ankle) and Brian Price (hamstring) are also nursing injuries, which could prompt the Raiders to sign Johnathan Hankins to shore up the line, according to Rapoport.
