Azeez Ojulari: Joins Raiders' practice squad
Las Vegas signed Ojulari to its practice squad Thursday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Ojulari suited up for just three regular-season games with the Eagles in 2025, and he'll start the new campaign with the Raiders on the practice squad. Las Vegas' active roster doesn't have a ton of depth on the edge, so it might not take much for Ojulari to be elevated at some point in 2026.

Falcons' Azeez Ojulari: Signs with hometown team
Ojulari (hamstring) is slated to sign a one-year deal with the Falcons, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Ojulari is an Atlanta native, and the Falcons are looking to bring the veteran edge rusher home. The 25-year-old played in just three regular-season games for the Eagles last year, totaling 67 defensive snaps. The number of defensive snaps Ojulari gets to see in 2026 likely is tied to the result of James Pearce's standing battery charges and what other moves the Falcons make around the outside linebacker unit.

Eagles' Azeez Ojulari: Won't face 49ers
Ojulari (hamstring) was not activated from injured reserve Saturday and will not play in Sunday's wild-card game against the 49ers, per the NFL transaction log.
Ojulari hasn't played since Week 7, but he logged full practices throughout the week. If the Eagles advance to the divisional round, he seemingly has a good chance to return.

Eagles' Azeez Ojulari: Questionable but still on IR
Ojulari (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's wild-card game against the 49ers.
Ojulari would need to be activated from injured reserve in order to suit up Sunday, but he has looked promising in practice after having his return window opened Wednesday, as he practiced without limitations Friday. If given clearance to play, Ojulari would likely work in a depth role after being limited to three appearances during the regular season.

Eagles' Azeez Ojulari: Returning from IR
The Eagles designated Ojulari (hamstring) to return from injured reserve Wednesday.
Ojulari played in just three games this season, totalling 67 defensive snaps for six tackles, including two solo tackles. The weakside linebacker was a healthy scratch to start the season, but with Jaelan Phillips (ankle) questionable for Sunday's wild-card contest against the 49ers, Ojulari is primed to provide perfect depth for the Eagles' defense. The 25-year-old will have three practices to dodge any injury designation and prove he should be activated for Sunday's contest.

Eagles' Azeez Ojulari: Unable to practice Wednesday
Ojulari (hamstring) did not participate at practice Wednesday.
Ojulari left the field during the first half in Week 7 at Minnesota after suffering a hamstring injury, and now it seems likely he'll have to sit out Week 8 action entirely. Unless he can somehow get back in pads for practice Thursday or Friday, Joshua Uche will be expected to take over Ojulari's starting role on the edge Sunday versus the Giants.

Eagles' Azeez Ojulari: Not expected to play Week 8
Ojulari (hamstring) isn't expected to be available for Philadelphia's matchup versus the Giants on Sunday, Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports reports.
Ojulari is still recovering from the hamstring injury that forced him to exit in the first half of the Week 7 win over the Vikings. In his absence, Joshua Uche, Patrick Johnson and Brandon Graham, who came out of retirement Tuesday, could all see increased playing time. Ojulari will have the team's Week 9 bye week to get healthy and will look to make his return the following Week 10 versus Green Bay.

Ojulari (hamstring) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Vikings, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Ojulari sustained the injury in the first half, which has been deemed severe enough for him to not return to Sunday's game. The Eagles are down to Jalyx Hunt, Joshua Uche and Patrick Johnson as their options at outside linebacker due to Ojulari's injury.

Eagles' Azeez Ojulari: Suffers injury first half
Ojulari (hamstring) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Vikings.
Ojulari appears to have suffered a hamstring injury in the first half of Sunday's game but is being evaluated to see whether he can return. The 25-year-old was expected to play a larger role on the defensive side of the ball with Nolan Smith (triceps) and Ogbo Okoronkwo (triceps) both on IR, and Za'Darius Smith retiring Monday. The Eagles are left with Joshua Uche should Ojulari remains out.

Eagles' Azeez Ojulari: Cleared to make Philly debut
Ojulari is active for Sunday's game against the Broncos, Zach Berman of The Athletic reports.
Ojulari signed a one-year, $4.5 million deal with the Eagles this offseason, but he was a healthy scratch for the first four weeks of 2025. With Nolan Smith (triceps) and Ogbo Okoronkwo (triceps) both on IR, Ojulari could be a key piece of Philadelphia's pass-rush rotation over the next couple of weeks. Ojulari had 6.0 sacks in 11 games with the Giants last season, his most since tallying 8.0 during his rookie season in 2021.
