Shoulder
November 6, 2024
Elam (shoulder) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.
ANALYSIS
The 2022 first-round pick from Florida played a season-high 57 defensive snaps and recorded five total tackles in the Bills' Week 9 win over the Dolphins. However, it appears he picked up a shoulder injury in the process. Elam's participation Thursday and Friday will likely provide the best indication of whether he can play through the issue in Sunday's matchup against the Colts.

Superstars did most of the heavy lifting for the wild-card winners, but there were also some lesser-known heroes like Isaiah Hodgins and Khalil Shakir.
2023 Fantasy Outlook
Elam was a first round pick last year, but didn't exactly 'burst onto the scene' as a rookie. He played in 13 games (6 starts) and managed to snag two interceptions and 41 tackles. He's looking for more in his second year and should have lots of time to prove himself.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Gaining trade interest
CBBuffalo Bills
October 28, 2023
Elam, who was a healthy scratch for Thursday's game against the Buccaneers, has garnered trade interest ahead of the Oct. 31 deadline, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Elam's absence in Thursday's contest marked the fifth time he has been a healthy scratch in eight games this season, as he took a back seat to Josh Norman, who joined the Bills' practice squad last week. Elam didn't play in the first four games of the season but got his first opportunity in Week 5 with Christian Benford ruled out for that game with a shoulder injury. Elam actually registered a career-high 11 tackles in that contest, though a large part of that production was due to him being beaten out by the opposing wide receiver on multiple occasions. He hasn't had the production the Bills were hoping for when they took him in the first round of the 2022 NFL Draft, but perhaps a change in scenery would help him turn things around.
