Emmanuel Ogbah Injury News & Updates
Apr 27, 2025
Signs with Jacksonville
The Jaguars signed Ogbah to a one-year deal Sunday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Ogbah will head to Jacksonville after spending the past five seasons in Miami, where he racked up a combined 29.0 sacks. The 31-year-old could add value as a rotational pass rusher behind starters Josh Hines-Allen and Travon Walker during the 2025 campaign.
Jan 16, 2025
Five sacks in 2024
Ogbah finished the 2024 regular season with 49 tackles (27 solo), including 5.0 sacks, two pass defenses (including one interception) and one forced fumble across 16 games.
ANALYSIS
Ogbah tied veteran Calais Campbell for third-most sacks on the Dolphins behind Zach Sieler (10) and Chop Robinson (six). Ogbah has logged 5.0 sacks in back-to-back seasons, and his 49 combined tackles were his most since his rookie year in 2016 with the Browns (53). Ogbah enters the offseason as an unrestricted free agent and should draw plenty of interest from teams looking for a veteran pass rusher.
Dec 30, 2024
Sacks DTR in Week 17 victory
Ogbah finished Sunday's 20-3 win over the Browns with five tackles (four solo), including 1.0 sacks, and one forced fumble.
ANALYSIS
Ogbah sacked Dorian Thompson-Robinson midway through the third quarter of Sunday's game, stripping the ball in the process that was recovered by Da'Shawn Hand. It was Ogbah's first credited sack since Week 12 against the Patriots, and the 2016 second-round pick is up to 4.5 sacks through 15 regular-season games.
Oct 25, 2024
Past biceps issue
Ogbah (biceps) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Cardinals, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Ogbah practiced in a limited fashion both Wednesday and Thursday, but he upgraded to a full workload Friday, suggesting he's moved past his biceps injury in time for Sunday's contest. Expect the 30-year-old to start opposite Chop Robinson as part of the Dolphins' top edge rushing duo in Week 8.
Oct 23, 2024
Limited to open week
Ogbah (biceps) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Despite logging three limited practice sessions last week, Ogbah was inactive for the Dolphins' Week 7 game against the Colts. Given that, he may need to increase his practice participation over the next two days in order to avoid an injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Cardinals. Through the first five games of the regular season, Ogbah has tallied 18 tackles (12 solo), including 2.0 sacks, and one interception.
Oct 20, 2024
Won't play vs. Indianapolis
Ogbah (biceps) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Colts.
ANALYSIS
Ogbah has been limited at practice all week due to a biceps injury. He was tagged as questionable ahead of Sunday's contest, but he will have to observe the game in street clothes, and his next chance at suiting up will be against the Cardinals on Oct. 27. Tyus Bowser will likely get the start at linebacker alongside David Long, Jordyn Brooks and Chop Robinson.
Oct 7, 2024
Records second sack in win
Ogbah recorded four tackles (four solo), including 1.0 sacks, in the Dolphins' win over the Patriots on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Ogbah's sack was his second of the season and first since the Week 1 opener. The veteran edge rusher is logging heavy snaps in Miami with Jaelan Phillips (knee, IR) done for the year and Bradley Chubb (knee, PUP) still waiting to make his season debut. Ogbah is up to 18 tackles (12 solo), including the 2.0 sacks, five QB hits and one interception through five contests.
Oct 1, 2024
Six tackles, interception in loss
Ogbah recorded six total tackles (three solo), an interception and a pass defensed in Monday's 31-12 loss to Tennessee.
ANALYSIS
Ogbah was able to compile a season-high six stops while also securing his first interception of the year, picking off Will Levis in the first quarter. The linebacker has now produced 14 total tackles (eight solo), an interception and a pass defensed over four games this season.
Sep 9, 2024
Notches sack Sunday
Ogbah recorded four tackles (two solo) including 1.0 sacks during Sunday's 20-17 win versus the Jaguars.
ANALYSIS
With Jaelan Phillips limited by an Achilles issue, Ogbah was thrust into a bigger role in Week 1 than he's been accustomed to recently and parlayed his 40 defensive snaps into his first sack of the season. He's still probably not worth IDP consideration in most cases.
Jul 23, 2024
Staying in Miami
The Dolphins re-signed Ogbah to a one-year deal Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
Ogbah will officially return to Miami after having worked out for the team Monday. The 2016 second-round pick logged 19 tackles (seven solo), including five sacks, across 15 games last season, and he will look to contribute as a rotational pass rusher once again during the upcoming campaign.
Jul 21, 2024
Will work out for Miami
The Dolphins will host Ogbah for a workout Monday, Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Ogbah was productive in relatively limited opportunities with Miami last season, tallying 5.0 sacks and an interception over 238 defensive snaps in the regular season. He was released in February to save cap space but could now return for a fifth campaign with the Dolphins if his workout goes well. Miami has a sudden need for another pass rusher with Shaquil Barrett unexpectedly announcing his retirement Saturday.
Feb 23, 2024
Officially cut by Miami
The Dolphins released Ogbah on Friday.
ANALYSIS
As expected, Miami is cutting ties with Ogbah and freeing up roughly $14 million in cap space by doing so. The 30-year-old edge rusher appeared in 57 games across his four seasons with the Dolphins, logging 114 total tackles, including 24 sacks, while also defending 19 passes and forcing five fumbles.
Feb 23, 2024
Expected to be cut
Miami is expected to release Ogbah on Friday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Ogbah had spent the last four years of his career with the Dolphins, but it now seems as if that time is coming to an end. This move comes as no surprise, as Miami can save close to $14 million in cap space by cutting ties with Ogbah. The veteran edge rusher started in just one of the 15 games he appeared in during Miami's 2023 campaign, logging 19 total tackles, including three tackles for loss and an additional five sacks.
Dec 31, 2023
Won't play at Baltimore
Ogbah (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game at Baltimore.
ANALYSIS
Ogbah will be sidelined for his second consecutive game in Week 17, though this time he appears to be a healthy scratch. In his stead, Da'Shawn Hand will likely see an uptick in reps against the Ravens.
Dec 27, 2023
Appears back to full health
Ogbah is not listed on Miami's injury report Wednesday, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Ogbah injured his hamstring against the Jets in Week 15 and didn't play this past Sunday versus Dallas. However, his name is off the injury report for the start of Week 17 prep, suggesting that he'll be able to return to action Sunday in Baltimore. Ogbah has played a rotational role for the Dolphins this season, tallying 15 tackles (six solo), including 5.0 sacks, along with an interception over 14 contests.
Dec 22, 2023
Questionable for Sunday
Ogbah (hamstring) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Cowboys, Travis Wingfield of the Dolphins' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
The 30-year-old linebacker exited the Dolphins' Week 15 win over the Jets with a hamstring issue, but he was still able to record a week of limited practice sessions. If Ogbah is unable to suit up in Week 16, Cameron Goode could see more work as a rotational outside linebacker.
Dec 17, 2023
Leaves game with hamstring injury
Ogbah (hamstring) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Jets.
ANALYSIS
With the Dolphins up by 27 late in the third quarter, it's likely that Ogbah's day is done. He had an assisted sack before leaving Sunday's contest.
Nov 26, 2023
Contributes in win
Ogbah finished with 1.5 sacks in the Dolphins' 34-13 win over the Jets on Friday.
ANALYSIS
The backup linebacker made his contribution on just 14 defensive snaps. Ogbah has four sacks, a pass defensed, an interception and a forced fumble this season.
Sep 25, 2023
Gets first sack of season
Ogbah recorded three tackles (one solo), a sack and an interception in Sunday's 70-20 win versus Denver.
ANALYSIS
Although he played just 22 defensive snaps in Week 3, Ogbah was able to make a mark on the stat sheet, including logging his first sack of the young 2023 season and the first interception of his career. If he keeps that kind of efficiency up, it's hard to imagine he doesn't get more playing time soon.
May 16, 2023
Claims full health
Ogbah says he's been medically cleared to compete after suffering a torn triceps last season, Joe Schad of The Palm Beach Post reports.
ANALYSIS
Ogbah suffered the injury Week 9 last season and subsequently was placed on IR. Despite being cleared, the team has been taking it easy with him so far, according to Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com, who also notes that Ogbah would have been able to play again last season, had the Dolphins advanced further in the playoffs.
Feb 28, 2023
Recovery sounds encouraging
Head coach Mike McDaniel said that Ogbah has been "recovering soundly" from his torn triceps, Daniel Oyefusi of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Ogbah, who tore his triceps back in November, is anticipated to be ready to go for the start of OTAs in May. It was previously reported that the 29-year-old could've been made available if the Dolphins advanced past the wild-card round, per Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network, so he should be either at or near full strength throughout the offseason.
Jan 16, 2023
Would have played moving forward
Ogbah (triceps) was expected to be cleared to play if the Dolphins advanced in the postseason, Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
As the Dolphins' players cleared out their lockers Monday, Ogbah said that the plan was for him to return from his triceps injury in the AFC divisional round if the the team had beaten Buffalo on Sunday. It appears as if the defensive end should have no issue being ready to go for the start of training camp this summer. Ogbah appeared in nine games in 2022, recording 11 tackles, including one sack.
Nov 14, 2022
IR-bound for rest of season
Miami placed Ogbah (triceps) on its injured reserve list Monday, Daniel Oyefusi of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Ogbah sustained a ruptured triceps during the Dolphins' win versus Cleveland in Week 9, and he'll now spend the remainder of the 2022 season on the injured reserve list. Ben Stille may be forced into a regular role with Ogbah out.
Nov 13, 2022
Suffers season-ending injury
Ogbah sustained a torn triceps during Sunday's win over the Browns and will require season-ending surgery, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Ogbah exited Sunday's matchup in the first half and will be unavailable for the Dolphins down the stretch. The 29-year-old appeared in eight games for Miami this year and logged 11 tackles (seven solo), including a sack. Zach Sieler is a candidate to see increased playing time over the second half of the season.
Nov 13, 2022
Will not return
Ogbah (elbow) will not return Sunday against the Browns.
ANALYSIS
Ogbah left the game in the first half, but he was not originally ruled out. In his absence, Zach Sieler will likely provide depth behind the starters on the edge, Raekwon Davis and Christian Wilkins.
Nov 13, 2022
Exits with injury Sunday
Ogbah (elbow) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Browns.
ANALYSIS
Ogbah previously missed one game with a back issue Week 9, but he appears to have picked up a new elbow injury Sunday. With the veteran out for the time being, expect Zach Sieler to step up into a bigger role alongside starting defensive linemen Raekwon Davis and Christian Wilkins.
Oct 30, 2022
Suiting up in Detroit
Ogbah (back) is active Week 8 against the Lions.
ANALYSIS
The Dolphins only have five active defensive lineman for their 3-4 scheme, suggesting Ogbah wasn't in much danger of missing this practice despite a questionable tag. The veteran hasn't recorded a sack since Week 1, however, which would put him on pace for a career low in that department.
Oct 28, 2022
Deemed questionable for Sunday
Ogbah (back) is questionable for Sunday's matchup against the Lions, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Ogbah was upgraded to a full participant Friday after back-to-back limited sessions to start the week. However, he'll likely still be a game-time decision ahead of Sunday's 1:00 PM ET kickoff. If Ogbah misses a second straight game due to the back injury, expect Zach Sieler, who played a season-high 54 defensive snaps in Week 7, to see an increased role again.
Oct 23, 2022
Ruled out for Week 7
Ogbah (back) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Steelers.
ANALYSIS
Ogbah was considered a game-time decision for Sunday's matchup but doesn't feel healthy enough to play against Pittsburgh. Zach Sieler is a candidate to see increased playing time in primetime.
Oct 21, 2022
Game-time decision Sunday
Ogbah (back) will be game-time decision to play Sunday versus the Steelers, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Ogbah suffered a back injury in Week 6 against the Vikings and is questionable to play for Sunday Night Football this week. If he can't go, Zach Sieler (hand) could get some extra run, but the Dolphins may have to elevate an extra body from their practice unit.
Oct 16, 2022
Questionable to return
Ogbah (back) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Vikings.
ANALYSIS
Ogbah temporarily went to the Dolphins' locker room before returning to the team's sideline, according to Daniel Oyefusi of the Miami Herald. With the 28-year-old out for the time being, expect Zach Sieler to see increased usage opposite Christian Wilkins.
Mar 14, 2022
Secures payday from Dolphins
Ogbah and Miami have agreed to terms on a four-year, $65 million contract, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Ogbah has solidified himself as one of Miami's defensive cornerstones, having served as the team's sack leader in back-to-back seasons. Retaining the 28-year-old defensive end is a notable boost for the Dolphins' defensive prospects in the 2022 campaign, and for the foreseeable future. For Ogbah's part, he now secures the largest contract of his career, which includes $32 million guaranteed.
Jan 17, 2022
Concludes another nine-sack season
Ogbah notched 41 tackles (26 solo), nine sacks, 12 pass breakups, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery across 17 games in 2021.
ANALYSIS
Ogbah put together arguably the best campaigns of his NFL career during his two-year deal with the Dolphins, which is set to conclude this offseason and position him for free agency. The 28-year-old's standout play could even potentially earn him consideration for the franchise tag, as Miami has no clear route to replace his production and consistency.
Nov 9, 2021
Huge day in Week 9 win
Ogbah had four tackles (two solo), 2.5 sacks and one pass breakup during Sunday's 17-9 win over the Texans.
ANALYSIS
Ogbah now has five sacks through nine contests. The 28-year-old's production hasn't necessarily come on a consistent basis, but he possesses enough big-game potential to warrant fantasy consideration in deep IDP formats. Come Thursday, Ogbah will face the difficult task of containing Lamar Jackson and Baltimore's offense.
Oct 4, 2021
Brings down Wentz in loss
Ogbah notched four tackles (two solo) and one sack during Sunday's 27-17 loss to the Colts.
ANALYSIS
Ogbah has 1.5 sacks through the first four weeks of the season, so he'll need to ramp up his pace for any chance of matching last season's nine-sack total. It will be difficult to rely on Ogbah for fantasy purposes Week 5, as the Buccaneers' offensive front should have a clear advantage over Miami's pass rush.
Sep 21, 2021
Modest production vs. Bills
Ogbah notched four tackles (one solo) and a half-sack during Sunday's 35-0 loss to the Bills.
ANALYSIS
Ogbah has just seven total tackles, one pass breakup and a half-sack through the first two weeks of the 2021 campaign. The 27-year-old has never been a reliable weekly starter in IDP fantasy formats, but given that he had a career-high nine sacks last season, it's somewhat disappointing to see him get off to a slow start this year. Ogbah will look to get right in Week 3 versus a Raiders squad that could have Nathan Peterman under center if Derek Carr (ankle) can't go.
Jan 10, 2021
Manages nine sacks
Ogbah had 43 tackles (26 solo), nine sacks, five defended passes and three forced fumbles across 16 games in 2020.
ANALYSIS
Ogbah notched a new career-high in terms of snaps during his inaugural season with the Dolphins, providing exactly the sort of pressure off the edge that the team hope for when he was signed to a two-year, $15 million contract last March. Though Ogbah's deal includes a potential out this offseason, Miami could certainly opt to keep him in house for 2021 given the quality of his play in 2020.
Dec 21, 2020
Snaps sack drought
Ogbah posted three tackles (one solo) and a sack in Sunday's 22-12 win over the Patriots.
ANALYSIS
Ogbah failed to mark a sack in four straight games, but he came up big in the fourth quarter Sunday, sacking Cam Newton on fourth down to clinch the Dolphins' ninth win and force the Patriots out of playoff contention. The fifth-year defensive end sports a career-high nine sacks this year (ninth in the league).
Nov 9, 2020
Records sack in win
Ogbah recorded five tackles (four solo), one sack and one pass defensed Sunday against the Cardinals.
ANALYSIS
Ogbah has been difficult to slow down over the last few weeks, recording at least one sack in each of his last five contests. He's currently tied for fourth in the league with seven sacks on the season, sitting behind Trey Hendrickson (7.5 sacks), Myles Garrett (nine sacks) and Aaron Donald (nine sacks). Ogbah will aim to continue his recent success in Week 10 against the Chargers.
Oct 19, 2020
Two sacks Sunday
Ogbah recorded five tackles (three solo) and two sacks across 53 defensive snaps in Sunday's win over the Jets.
ANALYSIS
Ogbah was a menace on the field Sunday, including a sack that resulted in a 28-yard loss. He now has five sacks on the year and four in the past three games. He is only playing in around 65 percent of the defensive snaps this season but could see an uptick if his high-level of play continues.
Oct 5, 2020
Brings down Wilson in loss
Ogbah had five tackles (three solo) and one sack during Sunday's 31-23 loss to the Seahawks.
ANALYSIS
Ogbah had logged back-to-back games with a half-sack prior to Sunday's contest, bringing his total for the season to two sacks through four games. He'll look to keep up his momentum against a San Francisco squad that could get Jimmy Garoppolo (ankle) back in the lineup Week 5.
Mar 29, 2020
Cleared from injury
Ogbah (pectoral) said Thursday that he's been cleared to resume workouts, Cameron Wolfe of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Ogbah missed the final six games of the 2019 regular season with Kansas City due to a torn pectoral injury he suffered in Week 10. The 26-year-old has been a consistent threat in the pass rush since coming into the league in 2016, earning 18 sacks over 50 career games. Now healthy, he's one of a few offseason additions for the Dolphins in a defensive overhaul heading into 2020.
Mar 17, 2020
Joins Miami project
Ogbah (pectoral) is signing a two-year, $15 million contract with the Dolphins, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Ogbah become the latest piece for Miami's defensive overhaul, joining CB Byron Jones, LB/DE Kyle Van Noy and DE Shaq Lawson. The 26-year-old defensive end is recovering from a pectoral tear that sent him to IR in November, but prior to the injury he was well on his way to a career season in his first year with the Chiefs -- 32 tackles, 5.5 sacks, 11 QB hits in 10 games. Ogbah previously spent three seasons in Cleveland, where he averaged 40.7 tackles, 4.2 sacks and 9.7 QB hits in 13.3 games per year. His 70.1 PFF grade in 2019 was easily a career high.
Feb 21, 2020
Effective in injury-shortened season
Ogbah (pectoral) completed 2019 with 32 tackles (23 solo) and 5.5 sacks over 10 games.
ANALYSIS
A torn pectoral muscle ended Ogbah's season after just 10 regular-season contests, but Ogbah was in line for career-best outputs across the board prior to the injury. He's scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent this offseason and will presumably find a number of suitors vying for his services.
Nov 10, 2019
Injures chest Sunday
Ogbah was forced out of Sunday's game against the Titans with a chest injury, Sam McDowell of The Kansas City Star reports.
ANALYSIS
The injuries continue to stack up on the Chiefs' defensive front, as Alex Okafor (ankle) is already inactive. With Ogbah on the sidelines, Frank Clark and Tanoh Kpassagnon are the only healthy defensive ends left.
