Giants' Leki Fotu: Headed to New York
Fotu and the Giants agreed on a one-year contract Wednesday, Patricia Traina of SI.com reports.
Fotu will head to New York after recording 11 total tackles (three solo), including 1.0 sacks, over eight regular-season contests with the Texans and Raiders last year. The 28-year-old will provide the Giants with an additional veteran option at defensive tackle in 2026.

Raiders' Leki Fotu: Returns for preseason finale
Fotu (foot) recorded three total tackles (zero solo) in Saturday's 20-10 preseason loss to the Cardinals.
Fotu was able to play for the first time during the preseason after nursing a right foot injury for a series of weeks. The defensive tackle logged 16 defensive snaps in the contest, and he appears to be a full go ahead of the Raiders' regular-season opener Sept. 7 on the road versus the Patriots.

Raiders' Leki Fotu: Unable to practice
Fotu (foot) did not practice Tuesday, Tashan Reed of The Athletic reports.
Fotu appeared to have a boot on his right foot and was unable to practice Tuesday. The 26-year-old played just two games for the Jets last season, missing time with both a knee and a hamstring injury. With the Raiders trading for defensive tackle Thomas Booker on Monday, it appears the team is looking for extra depth at the position, as Fotu was in contention for a starting nose tackle job entering 2025.

Raiders' Leki Fotu: Going to Vegas
Fotu signed with the Raiders on Monday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
The rotational defensive tackle played in just two games for the Jets in 2024, missing the first five with a hamstring injury and the last 10 with a knee issue. The 2020 fourth-round pick of the Cardinals spent his first four seasons with Arizona, recording a career high 31 tackles in 2022 and a career high 2.5 sacks in 2023. Fotu should have a chance to compete for a role in 2025 with the Raiders.

Jets' Leki Fotu: Won't come off IR in Week 17
Fotu (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's battle against Buffalo, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
Fotu has been on injured reserve since Oct. 31 due to a knee injury. He was designated to return Dec. 18 but didn't get activated ahead of last Sunday's game against the Rams. With Fotu being held out again this Sunday, his final chance to play this season will come Week 18 versus Miami.

Jets' Leki Fotu: Won't return Week 16
Fotu (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Rams.
Fotu has been on IR with a knee injury since Oct. 31, and the Jets opened his 21-day window to return to practice Wednesday. He was also a full participant during Wednesday's session, though it appears he'll need some more time before getting back to full game shape. Fotu's next opportunity to play will come Sunday, Dec. 29 versus Buffalo.

Jets' Leki Fotu: Designated to return from IR
The Jets opened the 21-day practice window for Fotu (knee) to return from injured reserve Wednesday.

Jets' Leki Fotu: Placed on IR with knee injury
The Jets placed Fotu (knee) on injured reserve Thursday, Ethan Greenberg of the team's official site reports.
Fotu will be placed on injured reserve for a second time this season, this time due to a knee injury. He missed the first five games of the regular season due to a hamstring injury he sustained in training camp, but he was able to suit up for Weeks 6 and 7 and logged three tackles (one solo) over that span. His placement on IR means Fotu will have to miss at least the next four regular-season games, and the earliest he can return will be Week 14 against the Dolphins on Sunday, Dec. 8. In Fotu's absence, Leonard Taylor and Solomon Thomas will serve as the Jets' rotational defensive tackles behind starters Javon Kinlaw and Quinnen Williams.

Jets' Leki Fotu: Missing Week 9
Fotu (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Thursday night's matchup against the Texans.
It's not surprising that Fotu will be sidelined Thursday night, as the 26-year-old defensive tackle didn't practice all week after missing the Jets' Week 8 loss to the Patriots due to a knee injury. Solomon Thomas is expected to see additional reps as a rotational defensive tackle with Fotu missing Week 9.

Jets' Leki Fotu: Will not suit up Week 8
Fotu (knee) has been deemed out for Sunday's matchup against the Patriots, Eric Allen of the Jets' official site reports.
Fotu began the campaign on IR due to a hamstring injury but was able to return ahead of Week 6. However, the defensive lineman didn't practice at all this week, and he'll miss his sixth game of the season this Sunday. The Jets have a quick turnaround for Week 9 with a Thursday night game against Houston, so Fotu could be in danger of missing that contest as well.
