Won't play Sunday
Edoga (calf) has been ruled out for Jacksonville's matchup versus the Titans on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Edoga will miss his fourth game of the season as he's currently dealing with a calf injury. The Jaguars will be shorthanded at right guard for Sunday's matchup, as Patrick Mekari (concussion) has been ruled out as well.
Mar 12, 2025
Joining forces with Jacksonville
Edoga is slated to sign with the Jaguars, Michael Dominski of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Edoga appeared in five games (four starts) with the Cowboys in 2024. The veteran offensive lineman figures to hold down a depth role at left tackle with Jacksonville.
Jan 5, 2025
Sitting against Washington
Edoga (toe) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Commanders.
ANALYSIS
Edoga was limited in practice all week due to a toe injury. While he was able to play through the issue in Week 17 against the Commanders, he will not do so in Sunday's regular-season finale. The 2019 third-round pick appeared in five games for the Cowboys this season and started at left tackle in four of them. Rookie first-rounder Tyler Guyton will likely start at left tackle due to Edoga's absence.
Dec 29, 2024
Will play against Philadelphia
Edoga (toe) is active for Sunday's game against the Eagles, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Edoga popped up on Thursday's injury report as a DNP due to a toe injury. He was able to practice in a limited capacity Friday, and he's done enough over the weekend to be cleared to start at left tackle in Sunday's NFC East clash.
Dec 20, 2024
Good to go for Week 16
Edoga (ankle) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's battle against the Buccaneers, Ralph Vacchiano of Fox Sports reports.
ANALYSIS
Edoga exited early from last Sunday's win over the Panthers due to an ankle injury. He began this week as a DNP but was able to log a limited practice session Thursday before being estimated as a full participant in Friday's walkthrough. Edoga started each of the Cowboys' past two contests at left tackle over Tyler Guyton.
Dec 15, 2024
Questionable to return Sunday
Edoga (ankle) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Panthers, Calvin Watkins of The Dallas Morning News reports.
ANALYSIS
Edoga didn't make his 2024 debut until late November due to a toe injury. The offensive lineman has played in three games since returning, starting one.
Nov 24, 2024
Active for Week 12
Edoga (toe) is active for Sunday's game against Washington, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Edoga opened the regular season on injured reserve due to a toe issue, but he will make his 2024 debut Sunday after logging full practices all week. With Zach Martin (ankle) and Tyler Smith (ankle) both ruled out, Edoga could be inserted into the starting lineup for Sunday's NFC East contest.
Nov 23, 2024
Comes off IR
Edoga (toe) was activated off injured reserve Saturday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Zack Martin (ankle) is out Sunday against the Commanders and opposite starting guard Tyler Smith (ankle) is questionable, so Edoga could find himself shuffled into the starting lineup potentially should the Cowboys suffer any more injuries to its offensive line.
Nov 13, 2024
Gets go-ahead to practice
Dallas designated Edoga (toe) for return to practice from its injured reserve list Wednesday, Calvin Watkins of The Dallas Morning News reports.
ANALYSIS
Edoga has been out since training camp due to a lingering toe issue, but he now appears to be approaching a return to action. The Cowboys will have 21 days to officially activate him before they'd have to put him back on injured reserve for the rest of the season.
Aug 29, 2024
Officially placed on IR
Dallas placed Edoga (toe) on the reserve/injured list Thursday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
ANALYSIS
Edoga injured his big toe in the Cowboys' preseason opener against the Rams. He'll now be forced to miss a minimum of four games, making Week 5 against the Steelers on Oct. 6 the earliest he can return. With Edoga on the shelf to begin the regular season, rookie first-round pick Tyler Guyton (knee) will start at left tackle and be tasked with protecting Dak Prescott's blindside.
Aug 13, 2024
Set to open season on IR
After sustaining a significant injury to his left big toe in Sunday's preseason game against the Rams, Edoga is expected to be placed on the Cowboys' reserve/injured list at the start of the regular season, David Moore of The Dallas Morning News reports.
ANALYSIS
If Edoga goes on IR, he'll be forced to miss the first four games of the regular season, which puts his return date to Week 5 against Pittsburgh. With Edoga out of action, head coach Mike McCarthy relayed Tuesday that rookie first-rounder Tyler Guyton will work with the Cowboys' first-team offense at left tackle, per Clarence E. Hill Jr. of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram.
Aug 11, 2024
Done for day
Edoga has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's preseason game against the Rams due to a left foot injury, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
With Edoga done for the day, rookie first-round pick Tyler Guyton will take over at left tackle for the rest of Sunday's contest.
Nov 5, 2023
Able to play
Edoga (ankle) is active Sunday against the Eagles, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Edoga will return to the field after leaving last Sunday's win over the Rams early with the injury. However, with the return of Tyron Smith (neck), Edoga is expected to fill a reserve role on the team's offensive line this week.
Oct 29, 2023
Suffers ankle injury in win
Edoga (ankle) left in the second half of Sunday's 43-20 win over the Rams, K.D. Drummond of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS
Edoga had to be carted off the field in the second half after injuring his right ankle and was replaced by 2023 fifth-round pick Asim Richards. Edoga has filled at left tackle in the absence of Tyron Smith (neck) and his injury status will be something to monitor ahead of the Cowboys' Week 9 matchup against the divisional rival Eagles.
Sep 21, 2023
Healthy ahead of Week 3
Edoga (elbow) was a full participant at the Cowboys' practice Thursday, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Edoga went down with an elbow injury in the team's 30-10 win over the Jets in Week 2, but he appears ready to go for Sunday's contest with Arizona. With starting center Tyler Biadasz dealing with a hamstring injury, it's possible Edoga draws a start in Week 3 if Dallas shuffles their offensive line.
Sep 17, 2023
Suffers an elbow injury
Edoga suffered an elbow injury and did not return to the Cowboys' 30-10 win over the Jets on Sunday, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.
ANALYSIS
Edoga was spotted with a wrap on his elbow as T.J. Bass replaced him at left guard in the second half. After the game, owner Jerry Jones said he doesn't think the injury is significant, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports. More information on Edoga's status will likely be provided when Dallas returns to practice this week.
Sep 17, 2023
Leaves early with injury
Edoga left Sunday's game against the Jets with a shoulder injury, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Edoga was replaced by T.J. Bass at left guard. Edoga will presumably get checked out during halftime, but it's unclear what his status is moving forward.
Aug 30, 2023
Let go by Dallas
The Cowboys released Edoga on Tuesday, Nick Harris of the Cowboys' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Edoga spent the 2022 campaign with the Falcons but appeared in just two games and finished the year on injured reserve with a knee issue. He hyperextended his knee in practice earlier in August but appears to have moved past the issue since he wasn't waived with an injury designation Tuesday.
Aug 10, 2023
Suffers knee injury
Edoga hyperextended his right knee at Thursday's practice, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.
ANALYSIS
Per Calvin Watkins of The Dallas Morning News, Edoga was carted off after he hit the ground during a run play. Dallas brought in the 26-year-old this offseason hoping he could compete for a starting guard spot, but he's ended up playing mostly tackle throughout camp. Edoga was slated to start in Saturday's preseason game against Jacksonville before suffering this injury, per the team's official website. There is no current timetable for the veteran's return ahead of the coming season.
Mar 21, 2023
Agrees to deal with Dallas
Dallas and Edoga agreed to a one-year contract Tuesday, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Edoga was selected by the Jets in the third round of the 2019 Draft and started 12 of 24 games across three seasons in New York before joining Atlanta ahead of the 2022 campaign. He appeared in just two games with the Falcons last year and figures to be relegated a reserve role with the Cowboys, though his versatility makes him a solid backup at numerous positions.
Mar 21, 2023
Visiting Dallas
Edoga has a visit scheduled with the Cowboys on Monday, per Michael Gehlken of the Dallas Morning News, suggesting that he has recovered from his knee injury.
ANALYSIS
Edoga finished the 2022 season on injured reserve but will try to show Dallas that he's healthy and worth signing. The free-agent offensive tackle started one game for Atlanta last year after making 12 starts for the Jets over the previous three seasons.
Jan 1, 2023
Done for season
Edoga (knee) was placed on injured reserve Saturday.
ANALYSIS
Edoga was already ruled out for Sunday's game against the Cardinals and has missed the previous four weeks. The move to IR will now officially end the 25-year-old's season early. He'll now focus on being ready for next year.
Dec 30, 2022
Isn't suiting up for Week 17
Head coach Arthur Smith said Friday that Edoga (knee) will be unavailable for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Scott Bair of the team's official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Edoga will now be sidelined for his fifth straight contest as he continues to nurse a lingering knee issue. Elijah Wilkinson should once again draw the start at left guard come New Year's Day.
Dec 22, 2022
Won't play at Baltimore
Edoga (knee) is listed as out for Saturday's game at the Ravens.
ANALYSIS
Edoga will miss his fourth consecutive game as he continues to deal with a lingering knee injury. Elijah Wilkinson figures to draw another start at left guard Saturday in Edoga's absence.
Dec 16, 2022
Remains out for Week 15
Edoga (knee) has been ruled out for Week 15 versus the Saints, Scott Blair of the Falcons' official website reports.
ANALYSIS
Edoga will once again be unavailable as he continues to nurse a knee injury. Elijah Wilkinson will remain the starting left guard in Week 15.
Dec 4, 2022
Sidelined again with knee concern
Edoga (knee) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Steelers, Michael Rothstein of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Edoga is now slated to miss his eleventh contest of the 2022-23 campaign due to a knee issue, meaning Colby Gossett is expected to draw his second consecutive start at left guard in the Week 13 matchup versus Pittsburgh.
Nov 27, 2022
Missing another contest
Edoga (knee) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Commanders, Tori McElhaney of the team's official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Edoga returned and started at left guard for the Falcons in Week 11 following a seven-game absence, but Atlanta will now be forced to start a different left guard for the fifth consecutive game with Edoga inactive due to a knee issue and Jalen Mayfield (back), Matt Hennessy (knee) and Elijah Wilkinson (knee) all currently on injured reserve. Colby Gossett is now the likely candidate to draw the start this weekend, Michael Rothstein of ESPN.com reports.
Aug 31, 2022
Claimed off waivers by Atlanta
The Falcons claimed Edoga off waivers from the Jets on Wednesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Edoga was waived by the Jets ahead of Tuesday's 53-man roster deadline, but he quickly finds a new home. Per Rapoport, Edoga will compete for a starting spot with his new squad.
Dec 19, 2021
Returns to active roster
Edoga (knee) was activated off injured reserve Saturday, Ethan Greenberg of the Jets' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Edoga returned to practice on Dec. 1 when he was designated to return from IR. Now that he's healthy, he should serve as depth for the Jets' offensive line, which is much needed, with George Fant (ankle) doubtful and Laurent Duvernay-Tardif (ankle) questionable for Sunday against the Dolphins.
Dec 1, 2021
Returns to practice
Edoga (knee) returned to practice Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
The Jets will have a 21-day window to restore Edoga to the active roster or else he will miss the remainder of the season. The offensive lineman has appeared in three games this season and, if activated, should provide much-needed depth to a position group that currently has just three healthy tackles.
Nov 13, 2021
Placed on injured reserve
Edoga (knee) was placed on injured reserve Saturday.
ANALYSIS
Edoga appeared in just three games to begin the season, but he'll now be unavailable until at least early December. Conor McDermott will be available as depth on the Jets' defensive line after he was activated from IR on Saturday.
Sep 8, 2021
Returns from knee injury
Edoga (knee) isn't listed on Wednesday's injury report.
ANALYSIS
Edoga underwent a knee scope in mid-August but is ready to go for Sunday's season opener. He should fill a depth role as an offensive tackle for the Jets.
Aug 12, 2021
Undergoes knee scope
Edoga recently underwent a knee scope, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Edoga was hindered by a lingering knee issue early in camp, but his procedure could help alleviate the issue in the future. Coach Robert Saleh said Thursday that he expects the 24-year-old to return to the field prior to the end of camp.
Aug 4, 2021
Exits with knee injury
Edoga exited Tuesday's practice due to a lingering knee injury, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Edoga dealt with various injuries during the 2020 campaign, and he's apparently been bothered by a knee injury early in camp. However, coach Robert Saleh doesn't believe that the offensive tackle's injury is a long-term issue.
Dec 2, 2020
Full speed ahead
Edoga (ankle) was a full participant at Wednesday's practice, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Edoga appears to be past the low-ankle sprain he suffered in Week 11. He could be in line for a start at right tackle this Sunday against the Raiders if George Fant (ankle/knee), who missed Wednesday's practice, is ruled out for a second straight game.
Nov 29, 2020
Unable to play Sunday
Edoga (ankle) is inactive for Sunday's game versus the Dolphins, Ralph Vacchiano of SportsNet New York reports.
ANALYSIS
This typically wouldn't be a major concern because Edoga is a backup, but starting right tackle George Fant (ankle) is inactive. Conor McDermott could start at right tackle to fill the void.
Nov 23, 2020
Dealing with ankle sprain
Edoga suffered a low-ankle sprain in Sunday's loss to the Chargers, Manish Mehta of the New York Daily News reports.
ANALYSIS
Edoga entered the game in relief of George Fant (knee/ankle). He avoided the dreaded high-ankle sprain, but his status is still uncertain for this Sunday's divisional matchup against Miami. If both Edoga and Fant are forced to sit out, Conor McDermott will slot in at right tackle.
Oct 25, 2020
Active for Week 7
Edoga (calf) will play in Sunday's game against Buffalo, Manish Mehta of the New York Daily News reports.
ANALYSIS
The Jets offensive line will enter the game healthy, with Edoga, Fant (knee) and Mekhi Becton (shoulder) all active for the contest. Edoga will handle swing tackle duties for the contest should injuries occur.
Oct 23, 2020
Questionable for divisional tilt
Edoga (calf) is questionable for Sunday's game versus the Bills, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.
ANALYSIS
Edoga, George Fant (knee) and Mekhi Becton (shoulder) are all considered questionable. If Fant and Becton play, Edoga likely will watch from the sidelines regardless of his health. But if either of the two are inactive, Edoga will bump into a starting role.
Oct 18, 2020
Downgraded to out
Edoga (calf) won't return to Sunday's game against the Dolphins.
ANALYSIS
Edoga was initially listed as questionable to retake the field, but he's been ruled out to begin the fourth quarter with the Jets down 24-0.
Oct 18, 2020
Leaves game with calf injury
Edoga (calf) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Dolphins, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
With Mekhi Becton (shoulder) inactive Sunday, losing Edoga will be a significant blow for the Jets unless he's able to quickly retake the field. Conor McDermott will likely be forced to start at tackle across from George Fant in the meantime.
Oct 7, 2020
Practices at full speed
Edoga (shoulder) practiced fully Wednesday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Edoga suffered a shoulder injury during the Week 4 matchup against the Broncos, but it appears he quickly recovered. He could start at left tackle against the Cardinals on Sunday if rookie Mekhi Becton (shoulder) is ruled out.
Oct 1, 2020
Return to TNF uncertain
Edoga (shoulder) is questionable to return to Thursday's game against the Broncos.
ANALYSIS
The 23-year-old played every offensive snap Week 3 against the Colts, but he was injured on New York's fourth snap from scrimmage Thursday night. George Fant, who was just cleared from the league's concussion protocol, will surely get a full dose of snaps at right tackle if Edoga is out for the rest of the contest.
Jul 5, 2020
Receives starting competition
Edoga (knee) could compete with George Fant for the starting job at right tackle in training camp, Brian Costello of the New York Post reports.
ANALYSIS
First-round pick Mekhi Becton is expected to start at left tackle, which would leave Fant -- who signed a three-year, $30 million deal in March -- and Edoga to battle it out on the right side. Edoga started eight games as a rookie last year, but he was sidelined the final five games of the season with an MCL sprain. The 2019 third-round pick may need a strong showing in camp to earn the starting job.
Dec 17, 2019
Sent to IR
Edoga (knee) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday, Ethan Greenberg of the Jets' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Edoga started a total of eight games his rookie season but had been out since he suffered the injury in Week 12. The USC product will attempt to rest and recover for the 2020 season.
Dec 11, 2019
Out Week 15
Edoga (knee) won't be active for Thursday night's game versus the Ravens, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Edoga will miss a third straight game due to an MCL injury. Brandon Shell is expected to get the start at right tackle.
Dec 8, 2019
Out as expected
Edoga (knee) won't play in Sunday's game against the Dolphins.
ANALYSIS
Edoga was deemed doubtful ahead of Week 14 with an MCL sprain, so this news isn't quite surprising. With the 2019 third-round pick officially inactive for the third straight game, Brandon Shell is expected to continue to start at the right tackle position.
Dec 7, 2019
Deemed doubtful
Edoga (knee) has been given a doubtful designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Dolphins.
ANALYSIS
Edoga is two weeks removed from suffering an MCL sprain, so a return Sunday would certainly be ahead of schedule. He was unable to practice all week, so his doubtful designation seems a little optimistic at this point. Still, confirmation on his status will come closer to game time.
Nov 25, 2019
Suffers MCL sprain
Edoga (knee) sustained a Grade 2 MCL sprain during Sundays' 34-3 win over the Raiders, Manish Mehta of the New York Daily News reports.
ANALYSIS
Edoga is set to miss multiple weeks in his recovery. As long as the rookie third-round pick is unable to play, expect Brandon Shell to draw the start at right tackle.
Nov 24, 2019
Leaves game Sunday
Edoga (knee) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Raiders, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
It's unclear how Edoga suffered the injury, but he was forced to leave the game in the second quarter. This is a tough break for the rookie, as he came into the game already with an ankle injury. As long as he's sidelined, Brandon Shell is expected to take over as the team's right tackle.
Nov 24, 2019
Will play Sunday
Edoga (ankle) is officially active for Sunday's tilt against Oakland.
ANALYSIS
Edoga's status was firmly up in the air, after he was forced out of Week 11 with the ankle issue. Now that he's officially shaken off the injury, he's expected to assume a starting role at right tackle for Week 12.
Nov 22, 2019
Status up in air
Edoga (ankle) is questionable to play Sunday against Oakland, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Edoga is questionable with an ankle injury, as is starting left tackle, Kevin Beachum. Both Beachum and Edoga were limited at practice all week, so there's a chance New York is without both starting tackles Sunday. Brandon Shell should slot into the right tackle spot if Edoga is ruled out prior to kickoff.
Nov 18, 2019
Called day-to-day
Edoga (ankle/knee) is considered day-to-day, Andy Vasquez of The Bergen Record reports.
ANALYSIS
Edoga was forced out of Week 11's win over the Redskins due to an ankle injury, and he appears to also be managing a knee issue. The starting right tackle's availability for Week 12 will likely come down to how much he's able to accomplish in practice. With Kelvin Beachum nursing an ankle injury, the Jets could tentatively be forced to operate without both starting offensive tackles during Sunday's tilt against the Raiders.
Nov 17, 2019
Leaves Sunday's game
Edoga (ankle) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Redskins, Brian Costello of the New York Post reports.
ANALYSIS
It's unclear how Edoga suffered the injury, but it's likely he'll get extra treatment during the halftime break before trying to give it a go in the third quarter. As long as the rookie is sidelined, however, look for Brandon Shell to take over as the team's right tackle.
