Elder (concussion) had a workout with the Steelers on Monday, Howard Balzer of GoPHNX.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Elder suffered a concussion in Washington's final preseason game prior to the 2022 regular-season. He subsequently failed to make the roster. His workout with Steelers demonstrates he is healthy and looking for another opportunity in the league.

Elder (concussion) recorded two tackles during Washington's preseason game against Baltimore.

EDGE Analysis

Elder returned from concussion protocol just in time to suit up heading into the Commanders' final roster cuts Tuesday. The 2017 fifth-round pick was able to play just over half (53 percent) of the team's defensive snaps against the Ravens on Saturday, and his performance in this game could ultimately determine whether he earned a roster spot ahead of cornerbacks DeJuan Neal and Josh Drayden.

Elder entered concussion protocol during Saturday's 24-14 preseason loss at Kansas City, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Elder, who is probably on the roster bubble with the 53-man roster deadline fast approaching, will hope to clear protocol and get back onto the field as quickly as possible. In the meantime, rookie seventh-round pick Christian Holmes should see increased opportunities as long as Elder is out.

Washington signed Elder on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Washington signed Elder after it placed Darryl Roberts (quadriceps) on injured reserve. The 27-year-old corner will likely serve as a depth option until Roberts is able to return. Elder spent his first three seasons in the NFL with the Panthers, appearing in 30 total games and registering 43 tackles.

The Panthers signed Elder to their practice squad Monday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Elder was waived by the Lions after missing an extended period of training camp with a hamstring injury. The 26-year-old spent his first three seasons in the NFL with the Panthers, appearing in 30 total games and registering 43 tackles.

Elder was released by the Lions on Tuesday, Kyle Meinke of MLive.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Elder was a favorite to secure the starting job at nickel back upon signing with Detroit last spring, but he missed time in training camp with a hamstring injury before losing out to undrafted rookie AJ Parker.

Elder recorded an interception during Friday's preseason loss to Indianapolis.

EDGE Analysis

Despite looking healthy after missing time with a hamstring injury, Elder played behind Mike Ford and clearly seems to have lost his status as favorite for the starting job at nickelback. While he may stick around as a depth option, Elder's spot on the roster doesn't seem safe.

Elder injured his hamstring in practice Monday, Justin Rogers of The Detroit News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Elder played in all 16 games for the Panthers last season, racking up 40 tackles and one forced fumble. If this injury causes the 26-year-old to miss significant time, then his bid for the starting nickelback position is not likely to come to fruition.

Elder didn't practice Monday due to an undisclosed issue, Kyle Meinke of MLive.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Elder signed a one-year deal with the Lions in April and was expected to compete with a starting role in the team's secondary. However, he's been working behind Mike Ford for most of camp and gained increased competition when Detroit signed Nickell Robey-Coleman on Monday. It's not yet clear whether Elder will be available for Friday's preseason game against the Bills.

Elder seems to be competing with Mike Ford for the starting job at nickel cornerback, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

With Justin Coleman long gone, Detroit needs someone to defend the slot. After going from special-teamer in 2019 to logging 411 defensive snaps for Carolina in 2020, Elder is a player on the rise who will have a chance to fill that role for the Lions.
