Elliott is questionable to return to Saturday's preseason game against the Chiefs with a hip injury, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Elliott exited before the end of the first quarter, though it's unclear exactly when or how he suffered this hip injury. The 25-year-old defensive tackle collected a career-high 36 stops, two sacks and two passes defended last season, and he has been playing with the Browns' first-team defense this preseason.

Elliott practiced as a member of the Browns' first-team defense during minicamp this past week, Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports.
The 2020 third-round pick played 16 games with three starts last season, notching 26 tackles over 439 defensive snaps, before he suffered a knee injury during the team's Week 18 win over the Bengals. Elliott's positive health status this offseason, combined with the loss of defensive tackle Malik Jackson, should help launch him toward a starting role alongside Taven Bryan.

Elliott was the best interior lineman left on the board at this stage. His production is only middling with 6.0 career sacks in three seasons, but his athleticism is his selling point. The Missouri product ran a 5.02 in the 40-yard dash at 302 pounds and has a variety of pass-rush moves in his arsenal.
