Elliss was practicing with the Broncos on Wednesday to begin training camp, Jon Heath of Broncos Wire reports.
EDGE Analysis
Elliss suffered a fractured scapula in Denver's wild-card loss to the Bills to conclude the 2024 campaign. The issue wasn't expected to impact his 2025 season, and that now seems to be confirmed given his activity at the start of training camp.

Elliss's father said Friday that Elliss fractured the scapula bone in his right shoulder in Sunday's wild-card loss to Buffalo but will likely be ready for offseason drills in April, Chris Tomasson of The Denver Gazette reports.
EDGE Analysis
Luther Elliss, Jonah's father, likely has more insight into football injuries than most since he was a defensive tackle in the NFL for 10 seasons from 1995 to 2004. The elder Elliss said of his son's injury that "it's just a broken bone" and suggested that the recovery timeline will be "six weeks." Luther Elliss also stated that Jonah's current injury isn't related to the torn right labrum he suffered in 2023 while playing in college for Utah, per Tomasson.

Elliss (shoulder) is questionable to return to Sunday's AFC wild-card game against the Bills, Nick Kosmider of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Elliss injured his right shoulder in the first half of Sunday's game, and he was seen headed to the locker room holding his arm, per Mike Klis of 9news.com. Dondrea Tillman will serve as the Broncos' primary edge rushing backup behind Jonathon Cooper and Nik Bonitto for as long as Elliss is out of the game.

Elliss (shoulder) has been an active participant at the Broncos' training camp, Aric DiLalla of the team's official website reports.
EDGE Analysis
Elliss has fully recovered from the surgery he underwent to address a torn shoulder labrum last season. The 21-year-old appears to be set to operate as a primary reserve option behind Jonathan Cooper at weakside linebacker on Denver's defense in 2024.

Elliss (shoulder) should be fully healed by training camp, Mike Klis of 9News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Elliss underwent surgery to repair a torn shoulder labrum six months ago, but he still isn't quite 100 percent. However, the Broncos' 2024 third-round selection was able to take part in walkthroughs and individual portions of the team's recent rookie minicamp. The son of former NFL player, Luther Elliss, Jonah projects to be a pass-rush specialist after recording 12 sacks in just 10 games at Utah last season.
