Giants' Bobby Okereke: Tallies first sack of season
Okereke recorded eight tackles (seven solo), including 1.0 sacks, during Sunday's loss to the Eagles.
Okereke has now played 100 percent of defensive snaps in five consecutive games. Across eight regular-season appearances, Okereke has now racked up 68 tackles (36 solo) including 1.0 sacks, plus two pass breakups. He remains a high-floor fantasy option in IDP formats heading into a Week 9 home game against the 49ers.

Giants' Bobby Okereke: Full snap count in win
Okereke recorded six tackles (two solo) and one pass defensed in Thursday's 34-17 win over the Eagles.
Okereke was on the field for 100 percent of defensive snaps for the third straight game, though it was one of his least productive games of the season. Nevertheless, he has recorded double-digit stops in three of six games this season and is one of the top IDP options every week.

Giants' Bobby Okereke: Racks up 10 stops in Week 5

Giants' Bobby Okereke: Limited production in Week 4
Okereke recorded four total tackles (three solo) in Sunday's 21-18 win over the Chargers.

Giants' Bobby Okereke: Steady again Sunday
Okereke notched eight tackles (four solo) Sunday in a Week 3 loss to the Chiefs.
Though New York fell to 0-3 with the loss, the team's defense fared pretty well against Patrick Mahomes and Kansas City. Okereke led the way with a team-high eight tackles, yet it was the first time this season the veteran linebacker has failed to reach double-digit stops. That speaks to how prolific he can be in terms of racking up tackles -- he has 34 through three games, ranking first in the NFL with one Week 3 game left to play Monday night.

Giants' Bobby Okereke: Racks up double-digit stops again
Okereke finished with 10 tackles (four solo) and a defensed pass in Sunday's Week 2 overtime loss to the Cowboys.
Okereke was one of three Giants to notch double-digit tackles, joining Paulson Adebo (13) and Dru Phillips (11). Okereke has been massively productive to begin the campaign, accruing 26 stops through two weeks. Heading into the Monday night slate, that total leads the NFL by one over Roquan Smith.

Giants' Bobby Okereke: Racks up 16 stops in opener
Okereke recorded 16 tackles (seven solo) in Sunday's Week 1 loss to Washington.
Okereke's 16 tackles were more than any other player in Week 1 (pending Monday night's game). The hefty total also marked the second-highest tally of his career (he had 17 stops in a contest November 19, 2023). Okereke was limited to 12 games last season and snapped a three-year streak of reaching triple-digit tackles, but he's off to a fast start in his quest to reach that mark again in 2025.

Giants' Bobby Okereke: Healthy again
Okereke (back) has been participating in the Giants' OTAs this week, John Schmeelk of the team's official website reports.
Okereke missed the final five games of the regular season last year and underwent surgery to repair a herniated disc. He was given a recovery timeline of 4-to-6 weeks and appears to be healthy enough to put in some work at the Giants' padless OTAs. Across 12 regular-season contests last season, Okereke recorded 93 tackles (47 solo), including 2.0 sacks, three forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries. Okereke should remain a tackles machine in 2025.

Giants' Bobby Okereke: Dealing with herniated disc
Okereke (back) was given a recovery timeline of 4-to-6 weeks after sustaining a herniated disc, Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News reports.
Okereke has been out of action since he picked up the injury back in Week 13 at Dallas, so the stated timetable for return would suggest he should be ready to go by OTAs ahead of next season. He projects to be a key contributor for the Giants' defense again in 2025.

Giants' Bobby Okereke: Sent to injured reserve
New York placed Okereke (back) on injured reserve Saturday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Okereke had already been ruled out for Week 16 against the Falcons, and this knocks him out for the remainder of the regular season. The veteran linebacker hadn't played since Week 13, and he'll finish the season with 93 tackles (47 solo), including six TFLs and 2.0 sacks, three pass breakups, three forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries. Sixth-round rookie Darius Muasau should continue to start in Okereke's place the remainder of the year.

Okereke (back) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Falcons, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.
Okereke will miss his third straight contest. Darius Muasau and Micah McFadden started at linebacker last Sunday against the Ravens and should do so once again this week. Okereke's next chance to suit up will be next Sunday against his former Colts teammates.
