Rotowire
Elliott (undisclosed) was placed on the Bears' active/PUP list Saturday, Adam Hoge of AllCHGO.com reports.
The nature and severity of Elliott's injury isn't clear, but he'll be able to return to practice one he's fully recovered. He was selected by the Bears in the fifth round of the 2026 NFL Draft and figures to contribute mostly on special teams while competing against Noah Sewell (Achilles) for depth snaps at linebacker behind T.J.

Bears' Keyshaun Elliott: Chosen by Chicago
Rotowire
The Bears selected Elliott in the fifth round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 166th overall.
Elliott (6-foot-2, 231 pounds) transferred from New Mexico State to Arizona State in 2024, totaling three-and-a-half years as a starter between both teams and 301 tackles in that span. The 22-year-old's aggressiveness, physicality and ability to stop the run are well-established traits, but the same is arguably true for Elliott's limitations against coverage and his average athleticism. As a rookie in Chicago, Elliott figures to have every chance to prove he's capable of taking a step forward in his development while competing for depth snaps with Noah Sewell (Achilles), Jack Sanborn and 2025 fourth-round pick Ruben Hyppolite.
