Broncos keep Jonah Elliss at outside linebacker for 2026 season

The Denver Broncos confirmed that Jonah Elliss will remain at outside linebacker during organized team activities (OTAs) this summer. Head coach Sean Payton indicated that Elliss has performed well at the OLB position, stating it would be his primary role, despite earlier suggestions he might transition to inside linebacker. While Elliss may take some snaps inside during specific packages, Payton emphasized his success outside. This decision is not linked to the recent legal issues surrounding teammate Jonathon Cooper. Entering his third NFL season, Elliss aims to improve on his 7.5 career sacks.
