Ellis (undisclosed) returned to practice on Sunday, Matt Vensel of the Star Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ellis began camp on the physically unable to perform list but no reason was ever given for it. Now that he's been cleared to return to practice look for him to compete with the second and third team for a spot on the tail end of the depth chart.

Ellis has been placed on the Vikings' active/physically unable to perform list with an undisclosed injury, Ben Goessling of ESPN NFL Nation reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ellis' placement on the PUP list comes as a bit of a surprise, but at this point his condition doesn't seem to be too severe. When he's able to return he'll be competing for a spot at the tail end of the defensive tackle depth chart for Minnesota.

Ellis agreed to a one-year deal to remain with Minnesota, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ellis played nine games after spending time with the Giants earlier in the season and had 15 tackles in a reserve role.

Ellis agreed to a contract with the Giants on Tuesday, The Star-Ledger reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ellis spent training camp with the Giants but did not make the Week 1 roster. Three Giants defensive tackles were listed on the team's injury report Monday, so the team decided to bring back Ellis with just a couple days to spare before taking on the Redskins on Thursday night.

Ellis has agreed to a one-year deal with the Giants, Manish Mehta of the Daily News reports. Ellis, who recorded 12 tackles and a sack in 14 games for the Jets this past season, isn't much of an IDP factor, but he'll bring added size and run-stopping ability to the Giants' defensive tackle rotation.

Jets NT Kenrick Ellis (back) is questionable for Sunday's Week 1 game against the Bucs. Ellis was limited in practice this week and will likely be a game-time decision. It's a potential upgrade for Doug Martin if the Jets decide to hold him out. Damon Harrison would draw the start at nose tackle.

Jets NT Kenrick Ellis was forced from New York's Week 11 game against the Rams with a knee injury, and is questionable to return. Ellis was making his first appearance since going down in Week 5 with a knee injury, so it's not good news. His afternoon is almost certainly through.

The Jets now say NT Kenrick Ellis will miss 4-6 weeks with a "significant" knee injury. It sounds like Ellis has a tear in his MCL. The Jets were already giving up 172.4 yards per game on the ground and now figure to be even worse. Colts rookie RB Vick Ballard has a plus matchup as he gets his first NFL start Sunday.

Jets NT Kenrick Ellis (knee) will reportedly miss a maximun of four weeks. This is more bad news for a struggling Jets defense that ranks 31st against the run. With Sione Pouha also banged up, the Jets could be forced to turn to undrafted rookie Ramon Harrison at nose tackle. Things are shaping up quite nicely for Vick Ballard and the Colts running game in Week 6.

Jets NT Kenrick Ellis reportedly suffered an MCL sprain in Monday night's loss to the Texans. The hits keep coming for the Jets as MCL sprains usually cost players roughly two weeks. Ellis was replaced by undrafted rookie Damon Harris on Monday night.
