  • Falcons' Kaden Elliss: Departs with knee injury Week 18

    Elliss hurt his knee in Sunday's game against New Orleans and is questionable to return, Michael Rothstein of ESPN.com reports. Elliss was injured in the first half of the must-win game for Atlanta. If the linebacker is unable to return, it would be a big blow to the Falcons, as Elliss ranks second on the team with 119 tackles, including 4.0 sacks, on the campaign. For at least the time being, Andre Smith has entered the game in Elliss' stead.

  • Falcons' Kaden Elliss: Continues solid play

    Elliss notched eight tackles (six solo) during Sunday's 28-23 loss to the Titans. Elliss recorded at least eight tackles for the third time this season. Across eight appearances, he's totaled 53 tackles and one sack. He's well on his way to surpassing his career high in tackles (78) during his first season with Atlanta, but he hasn't been as impactful as a pass rusher as he was with New Orleans last year, when he posted seven sacks.

  • Saints' Kaden Elliss: Key defensive contributor in 2022

    Elliss tallied 78 tackles (43 solo), seven sacks, two passes defended and two forced fumbles over 17 games during the 2022 season. Elliss notched career highs across the board during his fourth season with New Orleans. The 2019 seventh-round pick was a core special-teamer over his first three years with the Saints, and he continued to primarily play in this phase until linebacker Pete Werner went down with an ankle injury Week 9. Eliss then recorded 58 tackles (33 solo) and five sacks while taking on a starting role over the final eight games of the season. He also maintained a significant role even when Werner returned for three of the final four regular-season games. As a result, the 27-year-old Elliss finished fourth on the team in tackles and second in sacks, and he will likely draw interest when he becomes an unrestricted free agent this offseason.

  • Saints' Kaden Elliss: Tallies eight tackles in loss

    Elliss recorded eight tackles (three solo) in Monday's 17-16 loss to the Buccaneers. Elliss tied with cornerbacks Alontae Taylor and Bradley Roby for the Saints' second-most tackles behind strong safety Marcus Maye. The fourth-year linebacker has risen into an extremely prominent role since starter Pete Werner went down with an ankle injury Week 9, recording 40 tackles, 2.5 sacks and one pass defended over the last four games. Elliss played a relatively moderate role over the first eight weeks of the season, though his performance over the past month may have earned him increased playing time even if Werner manages to return following New Orleans' Week 14 bye.

The 27-year-old also started his third straight contest in place of Pete Werner, who has been sidelined since suffering an ankle injury Week 9 versus Baltimore. Elliss has set a new season high for tackles in each of these starts, totaling 33 tackles, 2.5 sacks and one pass defended over this span. He should continue to play a prominent role if Werner remains sidelined against the Buccaneers next Monday.
