Steelers' DeShon Elliott: Ready for 2026 debut
Elliott (knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Saints in Paris.
Elliott will suit up for his first game action since Oct. 26, 2025, when he sustained a knee injury that kept him out for the remainder of that season as well as the first six games of the 2026 campaign. The 29-year-old was a full participant in practice this week, and after being activated from injured reserve Saturday, he'll likely be ready to handle a full load of snaps against New Orleans. Expect Elliott to unseat rookie Robert Spears-Jennings as one of Pittsburgh's starting safeties.

Steelers' DeShon Elliott: Set for 2026 debut
The Steelers activated Elliott (knee) from IR on Saturday ahead of Sunday's game against the Saints.
Elliott started the regular season on injured reserve with a knee injury. The strong safety's 21-day return window opened Oct. 8, and the 29-year-old is finally ready to return to the active roster. Elliott is set to reclaim his starting role in the Steelers' secondary from Robert Spears-Jennings in Sunday's contest against the Saints.

Steelers' DeShon Elliott: Logs full practice Wednesday
Elliott (knee) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.
It's the first time Elliott has logged a full practice since his 21-day window to return from injured reserve opened Oct. 8. The Steelers released Rayshawn Jenkins earlier Wednesday, and that's a potential sign that Elliott will be available to make his 2026 debut this Sunday against the Saints in Paris.

Steelers' DeShon Elliott: Ruled out for Sunday
Elliott (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.
Elliott's 21-day return window was opened Oct. 8. The safety did not play in the Steelers' Week 5 game against the Colts and has now been ruled out ahead of Week 6. Elliott was a limited participant in all three practices during Week 6 prep but is still not quite ready to return to the field.

Steelers' DeShon Elliott: Ruled out for Sunday
Elliott (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Colts, Mark Kaboly of 93.7 The Fan Pittsburgh reports.
Elliott returned to practice Thursday after the Steelers opened up his 21-day return window. The safety logged two limited sessions in Week 5 as he works through a persistent knee injury. It remains unclear if Elliott will be ready to suit up for Week 6 or if he will need even more time to recover.

Steelers' DeShon Elliott: Returns to practice Thursday
Elliott (undisclosed) returned to practice Thursday, Teresa Varley of the team's official site reports.
The 21-day practice window opened Thursday. While Elliott was only back on the practice field in a limited capacity, it was still a step in the right direction. However, despite his presence at practice Thursday, the team might need to wait a few more weeks before he's ready to suit up, with Mike DeFabo of The Athletic reporting his return may not happen until the Steelers play the Saints in Paris on Oct. 25.

Steelers' DeShon Elliott: Starting season on IR
Elliott (undisclosed) was placed on injured reserve by the Steelers on Sunday with a designation to return, Teresa Varley of the team's official website reports.
Elliott suffered a pair of knee injuries in 2025, the latter of which sidelined him for the last two-plus months of the campaign. The safety was able to return to practice in late July, and he registered four total tackles (three solo) during the preseason. It's unclear if Elliott is still dealing with a knee issue or something new, but he will now be forced to miss at least four contests to begin the regular season.

Steelers' DeShon Elliott: Back at practice Friday
Elliott (knee) took first-team reps in Friday's practice after being held out of Thursday's session, Andrew Vasquez of USA Today reports.
Elliott was limited to just five regular-season games in 2025 due to a knee injury, with his last game taking place Week 8 against the Packers. He appears to be fully healthy for the start of training camp and projects to start alongside Jaquan Brisker at safety, with Darnell Savage providing depth at the position.

Steelers' DeShon Elliott: Injury-shortened campaign in 2025
Elliott (knee) recorded 38 total tackles (20 solo), including 1.0 sacks, while also adding two passes defensed, one of which was an interception, and a forced fumble over five games during the 2025 regular season.
Elliott suffered a sprained MCL in Pittsburgh's Week 1 win over the Jets before he later suffered a season-ending knee injury against the Packers in Week 8. The safety was rather productive when active, but the five appearances set a new career-low for the 28-year-old. Elliott signed a two-year, $12.5 million contract extension with the Steelers prior to the campaign, so he'll look to get back to full strength and compete for a starting role with the team in 2026.
