Jonah Elliss has stepped up in Baron Browning's absence, recording his first career sack against the Steelers. Head coach Sean Payton noted that the team is rotating Elliss, Jonathon Cooper, and designated pass-rusher Nik Bonitto to manage the workload, ensuring they’re not over-utilized. Payton expressed satisfaction with Elliss's performance and highlighted the importance of giving other players, like Dondrea Tillman, opportunities to contribute, particularly in both defense and special teams.
