Elliss has started all six games in place of Jonathon Cooper, who spent that time on the commissioner’s exempt because of domestic violence allegations. Cooper is back on the roster and is expected to play this week. Elliss limped off the field late in the team’s Week 6 Thursday night game against the Seattle Seahawks.
Head coach Sean Payton said his injury isn’t season-ending, but added there will be more news later in the week, leading to speculation he might be placed on injured reserve. Two days after the Thursday game, Elliss was seen at the Colorado-Utah football game wearing a boot and using crutches.
