Analysis: Ellis was cut by the Patriots this offseason after he failed to see a snap with the team during the 2020 season. The Tennessee product has seen just six offensive snaps the past two seasons, so he's not likely to hold any fantasy relevancy heading into the 2021 campaign.

Analysis: Ellis played five offensive snaps and 16 snaps on special teams in Thursday's win over the Packers and apparently suffered the knee injury.

Ellis was promoted from the practice squad to the active roster Tuesday.
Analysis: This will be Ellis' second stint on the active roster this season, as he was promoted prior to the season opener and sent back down shortly after. The likely reasoning behind the 26-year-old's promotion is to provide depth to the tight end unit as Dallas Goedert battles a calf injury.

Ellis signed a contract with the Eagles on Friday, Martin Frank of The Delaware News Journal reports.
Analysis: Ellis spent most of the 2018 season on Kansas City's injured reserve with an undisclosed injury, although he appears to be healthy now. With five other tight ends on Philadelphia's roster, the 26-year-old will likely have trouble sticking when it's time to make cuts. The Eagles had a roster spot available after waiving linebacker Joey Alfieri.

Analysis: Ellis saw just 11 total snaps in the first two weeks after seizing a 53-man roster spot out of camp, but he will now miss the remainder of 2018, barring an injury settlement. If that's the case, the second-year tight end will take aim at rejoining the mix for the 2019 season.
