Greg Ellis should be happy

Wade Phillips said he spoke with linebacker Greg Ellis Thursday and the veteran's rehab from a torn Achilles' tendon is coming along nicely. What should make Ellis feel better is how Phillips will use the veteran once he gets healthy.

Yes, he will continue to play outside linebacker, which he was not completely thrilled with before the season. And Phillips has offered some motivation.

“I told him it’s the same position that Rickey Jackson, Bryce Paup and Shawne Merriman played,” Phillips said. “I think most of them led the league in sacks.”
