The Bengals brought in Ellerbee (knee) for a tryout Friday, Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ellerbee played 63 total snaps and registered just one tackle over four games with Atlanta last year before ending the season on injured reserve with a knee injury. The 25-year-old linebacker now appears to be healthy once more heading into the 2022 regular season.

Ellerbee (knee) has exited the reserve/COVID-19 list and has shifted to the Falcons' injured reserve.

EDGE Analysis

With only three games left, Ellerbee's regular season will come to a close with this move. He injured his knee in the team's Week 14 game versus the Panthers.

Ellerbee (knee) was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Ellerbee is more of a special-teams contributor than anything else, so his potential absence for Sunday against the 49ers shouldn't have much of an impact on the defense. He also left the Falcons' win Sunday over the Panthers early with a knee injury, which may have forced him to miss Sunday as well, although no update has been given on his injury. Ellerbee was one of 25 players to test positive for COVID on Monday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Ellerbee (knee) is questionable to return Sunday against the Panthers, Michael Rothstein of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ellerbee primarily plays on special teams, so his absence shouldn't impact the defense too much. Mykal Walker will likely be the beneficiary of his absence.

Ellerbee agreed to terms Monday on a contract with the Falcons, NFL reporter Aaron Wilson reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ellerbee hasn't appeared in NFL action since 2018, when he appeared in six total games between the Seahawks and Chargers. He spent time on Houston's practice squad last season, and was even briefly called up to the active roster, but did not ultimately handle any snaps.

Ellerbee is a candidate to be added to the active roster for Week 9 against the Jaguars, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ellerbee and fellow linebacker Nate Hall could get the call from the practice squad while the Texans cope with COVID-19. Three linebackers -- Jacob Martin, Dylan Cole and Whitney Mercilus -- are unavailable Sunday, and Kyle Emanuel (concussion) is out, leaving them thin at linebacker.

The Texans signed Ellerbee (undisclosed) to the practice squad Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Seahawks waived Ellerbee from IR a couple of weeks ago, and now that the linebacker is healthy, he'll sign with his hometown team with hopes of working his way up the depth chart.

The Seahawks waived Ellerbee (undisclosed) from injured reserve Tuesday, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ellerbee and the Seahawks agreed to an injury settlement, so Ellerbee will seek a new team once he's fully healthy.

Ellerbee (undisclosed) reverted to Seattle's IR on Sunday after having been waived/injured by the team, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ellerbee spent the entire 2019 campaign on injured reserve due to an undisclosed issue, and it now looks as though he'll spend the 2020 season in a similar fashion barring an injury settlement. The 23-year-old will focus his efforts on getting fully healthy.

Ellebee (undisclosed) was placed on injured reserve by the Seahawks on Saturday, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ellerbee played in seven games between the Chargers and Seahawks last season and finished the year in Seattle without recording a tackle. The specifics of the injury remain unclear, but the 22-year-old will now be out for the season unless he agrees to an injury settlement.
