Elliott signed a contract with the Steelers' 53-man roster Saturday, Teresa Varley of the team's official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Elliott has been elevated to the Steelers' active roster twice already, and now he's received a contract to remain part of the team moving forward. He's only played on special teams thus far, and that should remain the extent of his role barring an injury higher on the depth chart.

Elliott was waived by the Steelers on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Elliott has been back and forth from the active roster this season, so it's possible he returns to the practice squad at a later date. In the meantime, his roster spot was needed to make room for the activation of Anthony Chickillo from the Reserve/Commissioner Exempt List.

Elliott (hamstring) is active for Monday's game against the Bengals, Dale Lolley of DKPittsburghSports.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Elliott began the week as a limited practice participant but finished with no limitations Saturday, so it's no real surprise he's available despite being listed as questionable. The 27-year-old exclusively played special teams in his Pittsburgh debut last week and he figures to fill a similar role versus Cincinnati.
