Elliott (back) was traded to Dallas on Sunday, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Cowboys parted ways with a conditional seventh-rounder in 2018 for more depth at the linebacking spot. Elliott will likely not start, but he should have some role on the defense this season.

Elliott (back) is considered to be day-to-day, Ryan Wood of the Green Bay Press-Gazette reports.
EDGE Analysis
Elliott's status for Thursday's preseason finale remains in limbo. The team has noted that Elliott wavers pretty frequently in terms of how he's feeling, but expects to be good for the season opener. As it currently stands, Elliott is in line to function as a depth linebacker this season in Green Bay.

Elliott exited Saturday's preseason game against the Broncos with a back injury.
EDGE Analysis
This injury likely stems from the back problem Elliott was dealing with in practice this week. It isn't clear how much time he could miss.

Elliott was forced to exit practice early for the second consecutive day Wednesday due to a back injury, Michael Cohen of the Milwauke Journal Sentinel reports.
EDGE Analysis
Elliott, who spent his first three seasons with the Packers, is looking to earn a more solidified role on the defense during training camp. Thus, the 25-year-old appears to be pushing through a back injury that is clearly bothering him. It would not be surprising to see him sit out a few practices in order to ensure his health going forward, but the situation figures to continue being day-to-day.

Elliott signed a one-year, $1.6 million extension with the Packers on Monday, Rob Demovsky of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Green Bay is able to keep him around for cheap, so bringing back his pass-rushing skills and special teams presence is an easy decision. With Julius Peppers headed to Carolina, expect Elliott to have the opportunity to win over more playing time next season if he can stay healthy.

Elliott finished the 2016 season with 19 tackles and one sack across 11 appearances.
EDGE Analysis
Elliott was hampered by injuries to his hamstring and hand this season en route to a career-low 11 games played. Even when healthy, he operates almost exclusively on special teams and consequently isn't on the fantasy radar. He could shop around for a bigger role with another team in the offseason, but as a restricted free agent, the Packers will be able to keep him if they want him to stick around.

Elliott (hand) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Elliott has missed every game since Week 15 due to an unspecified hand injury. While his full participation in practice Wednesday seemingly bodes well for his chances of breaking said streak, the same was true last week and Elliott was ultimately deactivated for Sunday's divisional-round showdown against the Cowboys.

Elliott (hand) is inactive for Sunday's divisional round matchup with the Cowboys.
EDGE Analysis
Despite logging two full practices this week, Elliott will be sidelined by the hand injury. Elliott's absence may just be a reflection of the Packers' lack of willingness to use an active spot in a playoff game on a depth linebacker who may not be 100 percent healthy.

Elliott (hand) returned to practice Friday and is listed as questionable to play in Sunday's playoff game against the Cowboys.
EDGE Analysis
Despite being held out of Thursday's practice, Elliott appears likely to be cleared prior to kickoff considering he logged two uninhibited practices Wednesday and Friday.

Elliott (hand) did not participate in practice Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
After logging a full practice Wednesday, Elliott took a step backwards Thursday, as he failed to take the field due to a hand aliment that sidelined him for the Packers' wild-card victory. The linebacker could simply be taking precautionary measures to assure his availability for Sunday's game. Look for more updates to come after Friday's practice session.
