In concussion protocol Elder entered concussion protocol during Saturday's 24-14 preseason loss at Kansas City, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.

Impact Elder, who is probably on the roster bubble with the 53-man roster deadline fast approaching, will hope to clear protocol and get back onto the field as quickly as possible. In the meantime, rookie seventh-round pick Christian Holmes should see increased opportunities as long as Elder is out.

Signs with Washington Washington signed Elder on Wednesday.

Impact Washington signed Elder after it placed Darryl Roberts (quadriceps) on injured reserve. The 27-year-old corner will likely serve as a depth option until Roberts is able to return. Elder spent his first three seasons in the NFL with the Panthers, appearing in 30 total games and registering 43 tackles.

Makes interception Elder recorded an interception during Friday's preseason loss to Indianapolis.

Impact Despite looking healthy after missing time with a hamstring injury, Elder played behind Mike Ford and clearly seems to have lost his status as favorite for the starting job at nickelback. While he may stick around as a depth option, Elder's spot on the roster doesn't seem safe.

Injures hamstring Elder injured his hamstring in practice Monday, Justin Rogers of The Detroit News reports.

Impact Elder played in all 16 games for the Panthers last season, racking up 40 tackles and one forced fumble. If this injury causes the 26-year-old to miss significant time, his bid for the starting nickelback position is not likely to come to fruition.

Absent from practice Elder didn't practice Monday due to an undisclosed issue, Kyle Meinke of MLive.com reports.

Impact Elder signed a one-year deal with the Lions in April and was expected to compete with a starting role in the team's secondary. However, he's been working behind Mike Ford for most of camp and gained increased competition when Detroit signed Nickell Robey-Coleman on Monday. It's not yet clear whether Elder will be available for Friday's preseason game against the Bills.

Competing for starting job Elder seems to be competing with Mike Ford for the starting job at nickel cornerback, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.

Impact With Justin Coleman long gone, Detroit needs someone to defend the slot. After going from special-teamer in 2019 to logging 411 defensive snaps for Carolina in 2020, Elder is a player on the rise who will have a chance to fill that role for the Lions.

Sees expanded role Elder finished the 2020 season with 40 tackles (28 solo), three passes defended and one fumble forced in 16 games.

Impact Elder entered the campaign with just three career tackles, so 2020 easily marked his best professional season. Although his production was still modest, Elder played nearly 40 percent of Carolina's defensive snaps, trailing only Rasul Douglas and Donte Jackson among cornerbacks. It'll be interesting to see if he returns to the Panthers as a restricted free agent this offseason.
