  • Steelers' DeShon Elliott: Leads Steelers with 12 tackles

    Elliott registered 12 tackles (eight solo) and one forced fumble during Sunday's 27-24 loss to the Colts.

    Elliott's 12 tackles were his most since Week 1 of the 2023 season against the Chargers (13). His 30 tackles through four games leads the Steelers, and the 2018 sixth-round pick is on pace to register his first career 100-tackle season.

  • Steelers' DeShon Elliott: Upgrades to full practice

    Elliott (quadriceps) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.

    Elliott was limited in practice Wednesday due to a quad injury, but it looks like he's now fully on track for Sunday's road matchup against the Colts. The veteran safety played a season-high 96 percent of defensive snaps during Pittsburgh's win over the Chargers in Week 3, recording five tackles (four solo).

  • Steelers' DeShon Elliott: Limited in practice

    Elliott (quadriceps) was a limited participant in Pittsburgh's practice Wednesday, Teresa Varley of the team's official site reports.

    Elliott popped up on the injury report Wednesday after being compiled five tackles (four solo) during last week's win over the Chargers. If the 27-year-old ends up being unable to play this week versus the Colts, Damontae Kazee will likely start at safety in his place.

  • Steelers' DeShon Elliott: Registers nine tackles vs. Broncos

    Elliott registered nine tackles (four solo) during Sunday's 13-6 win over the Broncos.

    Elliott was the leading tackler for the Steelers on Sunday and he played a big role in limiting the Broncos to just 295 total yards. Elliott signed with the Steelers in March to strengthen the secondary alongside free safety Minkah Fitzpatrick and corners Donte Jackson and Joey Porter. Elliott and the Steelers will travel back to Pittsburgh to host Justin Herbert and the Chargers in Week 3.

  • Steelers' DeShon Elliott: Nabs pick vs. Falcons

    Elliot logged four total tackles (one solo) and defended two passes, including one interception, during Sunday's 18-10 win over the Falcons.

    The Texas product was one of two Steelers to record two passes defended and one interception Sunday, as he and Dane Jackson helped Pittsburgh's defense hold Atlanta to just 10 points. Elliott, a first-year Steeler, appeared in 15 regular-season games with the Dolphins in 2023, recording 82 total tackles and seven passes defended, including one interception. He's off to a great start in Pittsburgh and is expected to continue making plays in the Steelers' secondary in Week 2's matchup with the Broncos on Sunday.

  • Steelers' DeShon Elliott: Records one tackle Friday

    Elliott (lower body) recorded one tackle during Friday's 20-12 preseason loss to the Texans.

    Elliott was carted off the field during Wednesday's practice session due to a lower-body injury, but he started during Friday's preseason opener. As long as he can remain healthy ahead of the regular season, he appears to be the favorite to start at strong safety this year after signing a two-year contract with the Steelers in March.

  • Steelers' DeShon Elliott: Leaves practice early

    Elliott was carted off the field during practice Wednesday due to a lower-body injury, Alan Saunders of SteelersNow.com reports.

    Elliott signed a two-year contract with the Steelers in March and is considered the front-runner for the team's starting strong-safety job. Any lengthy absence could impact his ability to earn the job, although how much time Elliott could miss and the specifics of his injury have yet to be disclosed.
