Works out for Dallas
The Cowboys hosted free agent Adeniji for a tryout Wednesday, Howard Balzer of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS
Adeniji suffered a knee injury during the preseason last summer and missed the entirety of the 2024 campaign. Now healthy, the 27-year-old offensive lineman will look to land a spot on an offseason roster with the chance to compete for a depth role. Adeniji has appeared in 43 career regular-season contests, including 15 starts.

Goes on IR
The Chiefs placed Adeniji (knee) on the reserve/injured list Monday, Chris Easterling of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.
ANALYSIS
Adeniji sustained his knee injury in the third quarter of Saturday's preseason game against the Packers, and it's severe enough for his season to be over. The 2020 sixth-round pick will shift his attention on rehab and recovery and aim to earn a roster spot in 2025.

Suffers knee injury Saturday
Adeniji hurt his right knee in Saturday's preseason loss to Green Bay and exited the stadium on crutches, Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Adeniji was hurt on a pass play that resulted in a Tyler Huntley interception early in the third quarter. It was a rough day for Cleveland's offensive line, as fellow tackles James Hudson (ankle) and Germain Ifedi (hand) also departed with injuries. Adeniji has been competing for a depth role in the preseason, and his chance of making the 53-man roster could take a hit if he's unable to play in the Browns' final exhibition game next Saturday against Seattle.

Pressed into starting role
Adeniji stepped in on Saturday against the Pats after La'el Collins left with a knee injury at right tackle, and will be the starter with Collins now out for the season, Kelsey Conway of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
ANALYSIS
At first it was thought that Collins's ACL was intact, but instead it was revealed on Sunday that both the ACL and MCL have been torn.

Active Sunday
Adeniji (anke) is active for Sunday's contest against the Ravens, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Adeniji sprained his ankle during the Bengals' 15-10 win over the Broncos in Week 15. However, he logged a full practice Friday after being limited in the two previous sessions and will be available Sunday. He's expected to assume his usual starting spot at right guard.

Suffered sprained ankle Sunday
Adeniji suffered a sprained ankle during Sunday's 15-10 win over the Broncos, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
ANALYSIS
Adeniji said Monday that his ankle sprain is "not as bad as it could've been." He is expected to be limited at practice to start the week, but if he is able to progress to a full participant by Friday, then he will likely be available for the team's Week 16 showdown with the Ravens.

Returns to active roster
Adeniji was returned to the active roster Thursday following an extended absence with a pectoral injury.
ANALYSIS
The left tackle had surgery in June to repair a torn pectoral muscle, causing him to miss the team's first eight contests of the season. Adeniji started 15 games for the Bengals last season and will likely have a significant role on the offensive line once he's back up to speed.

Ahead of schedule
Adeniji (pectoral) was cleared to return to practice Wednesday, according to Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer.
ANALYSIS
Adeniji underwent surgery in mid-June to repair a torn pectoral muscle. With D'Ante Smith (knee) and Xavier Su'a-Filo (knee) both on IR, getting Adeiji going would be a boost for the Bengals offensive line. The 2020 sixth-round selection started five games for the Bengals last year, while appearing in 15.

Shifts to reserve/NFI list
The Bengals placed Adeniji (pectoral) on the reserve/non-football injury list Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
Adeniji underwent surgery on his torn pectoral muscle in mid-June and as expected now shifts to the reserve/NFI list before the start of the regular season. He will be inactive for at least the first six weeks of the 2021 season but could possibly be sidelined much longer.

Placed on non-football injury list
Adeniji (pectoral) was moved to the active/non-football injury list Sunday.
ANALYSIS
This move is simply procedural, as Adeniji is facing an extended absence after undergoing surgery on a torn pectoral muscle in mid-June.

Out with torn pectoral
Adeniji is facing an extended absence after undergoing surgery to repair a torn pectoral muscle, James Rapien of SI.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The 2020 sixth-round pick apparently suffered the injury during OTAs and underwent the procedure last week. Adeniji appeared in 15 games as a rookie (five starts), and he could open the season on injured reserve.
