The Dolphins claimed Elston off waivers Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Elston was waived by the Bills on Thrusday, but found a new home quickly. Mainly a special teams contributor in Buffalo, he figures to do the same for the Dolphins, as well as provide depth at strong safety.

Elston was waived by the Bills on Thursday, Mike Rodak of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Elston was almost exclusively a special-teams player for the Bills who racked up 18 tackles and an interception across 13 games. Him being waived opens up a roster spot for Buffalo to activate Colt Anderon (forearm) from injured reserve.

Elston racked up a game-high 11 tackles (eight solo), one pass breakup and one interception against the Raiders on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
What Elston accomplished in his first career start was incredible, and the Bills likely never saw it coming either as even they released him back in September before picking him up again in early October. He earned his first start because Jordan Poyer (knee) was sidelined, and Poyer is expected back Thursday against the Jets. It'll be interesting to see if Elston will earn more responsibility going forward, or if he'll revert to his normal special teams duties.

Elston will start at safety this week against the Raiders with starter Jordan Poyer (knee) being ruled inactive, Chris Brown of the Bills' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
This will be the first start of Elston's career, who could stand to have a decent tackle total if Derek Carr throws as much as he did last week in an attempt to beat the Bills' depleted secondary.

Elston was waived by the Eagles on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
The Eagles are dealing with a plethora of injuries on their defensive line, so Elston was let go in order to add depth there. The 23-year-old has recorded one solo tackle on the season. He will presumably clear waivers and revert to the team's practice squad.

Elston was claimed off waivers by the Eagles on Wednesday, Les Bowen of the Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Eagles claimed Elston just a day after he was waived by the Bills. The 23-year-old only played special teams' snaps in the Bills first two games. He figures to do the same in Philadelphia, as well as provide safety depth when needed.

Elston (hamstring) doesn't appear on the injury report ahead of Week 1.
EDGE Analysis
Elston's preseason hamstring injury seems to be a thing of the past. He'll open the season as the backup to Micah Hyde and should consequently struggle to earn enough playing time to warrant IDP consideration.
