The Pittsburgh Steelers<\/a> received a promising injury update regarding safety DeShon Elliott<\/a>, courtesy of general manager Omar Khan at the 2026 NFL Scouting Combine.<\/p>\n

Speaking with reporters at the event, Khan made it clear that Elliott, who suffered a hyperextended knee injury, should be at 100 percent for the 2026 season.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m looking forward to DeShon just being DeShon,\u201d Khan said on Tuesday.<\/a> \u201cHe\u2019s really a good football player, and he\u2019s working hard. And right now everything\u2019s on schedule is my understanding. And once we get to opening day, I don\u2019t think there will be any limitations.\u201d<\/p>\n

With around 13 minutes left in the third quarter of a Week 8 matchup between the Steelers<\/a> and the Green Bay Packers, Elliott was rolled up on by fellow Steelers safety Juan Thornhill and tight end Tucker Kraft during a tackle attempt gone wrong, resulting in his season-ending knee injury.<\/p>\n

Elliott’s return couldn’t have come at a better time, however, as Steelers safeties Kyle Dugger and Chuck Clark are set to become free agents in March.”<\/p>\n
