Patriots' Christian Elliss: Making return in Week 11

Elliss (abdomen) is not among New England's inactives for Sunday's game against the Rams.

Elliss will return from a one-game absence due to an injury to his abdomen. The 25-year-old's return will likely result in less defensive snaps for Sione Takitaki. Elliss accumulated 24 total tackles, including 1.0 sacks, in his three games prior to last week's absence.
