The Patriots claimed linebacker Christian Elliss off waivers from the Eagles, a source told the Herald.

The move will officially be processed on Friday since the Patriots play on Thursday night. The Patriots will need to free up a roster spot before Elliss is added to the team.

Elliss actually started for the Eagles last week before being waived on Wednesday. The 6-foot-3, 231-pound linebacker has 21 tackles and two tackles for loss on the season.

The 24-year-old went undrafted out of Idaho in 2021 and has spent time with the Vikings, 49ers and Eagles. He was a core special teams player with the Eagles over the last season-and-a-half.

Elliss joins Ja’Whaun Bentley, Chris Board, Jahlani Tavai and Mack Wilson on the Patriots’ off-ball linebacker depth chart.
