Elliss continues to occupy a key role in the Atlanta defense, as he logged 100 percent of defensive snaps for the seventh time in eight games this season.

Falcons' Kaden Elliss: Season-high 12 stops in Week 8
Elliss logged 12 tackles (seven solo) and one pass defense during the Falcons' 34-10 loss to the Dolphins on Sunday.
Elliss cracked double-digit tackles for the first time this season after doing so 10 times in 2024. The 2019 seventh-rounder played every single defensive snap for the sixth time in 2025, and he leads the Falcons with 48 combined tackles through seven regular-season games. Elliss is on pace to record a third-straight 100-tackle season, though he's behind on matching his total from 2024 (151 tackles over 17 regular-season games).

Falcons' Kaden Elliss: Records interception in loss
Elliss recorded nine tackles (four solo) and an interception during Sunday's 20-10 loss at San Francisco.
49ers quarterback Mac Jones only threw 26 passes in Week 7, and Elliss nabbing a pick in the red zone in the middle of the second quarter is probably a big reason why. Elliss will look to keep up the momentum in coverage against a pass-happy Dolphins team in Week 8.

Elliss (groin) was limited in Wednesday's practice.
Elliss played 100 percent of the defensive snaps last Sunday night against Minnesota, so it's unclear when he was injured. If Elliss is unavailable for Week 3 against the Panthers, DeAngelo Malone, JD Bertrand and Josh Woods would be next in line for snaps alongside Divine Deablo at linebacker.

Elliss made his 35th consecutive start for the Falcons during Sunday's loss. Although Elliss recorded just five total tackles, he played 100 percent of the team's defensive snaps.

Falcons' Kaden Elliss: Posts career-high 151 stops in 2024
Elliss ended the regular season with 151 tackles, including 5.0 sacks, along with three pass defenses (including an interception), one forced fumble and one recovered fumble over 17 games.

His 151 tackles tied for sixth-most in the NFL and surpassed his previous career-high mark, which he had established in 2023, by 29 stops. Elliss has emerged as one of the league's top run-stoppers in his two seasons with Atlanta, and he's expected to fill the same role with the team next year in what will be the final year of the three-year deal he signed in March of 2023.
