Kingsley Enagbare Injury News & Updates
Keep up with the latest injuries from the Vikings vs Packers game on Sunday with our National Football League injury report.Nov 14, 2025
Ready to rock
Enagbare (knee) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Giants, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Enagbare was able to be a limited participant in practice the entire week, and the removal of his injury designation indicates he is good to go for Week 11 against the Giants. The 25-year-old may see a reduction in defensive snaps if fellow defensive end Lukas Van Ness (foot) is able to suit up for the first time since Week 6.

Limited again Thursday
Enagbare (knee) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.
ANALYSIS
Enagbare popped up on Wednesday's estimated practice report with a knee injury he potentially suffered in Monday's loss to the Eagles. The rotational defensive end has seen increased reps due to the injury to Lukas Van Ness (knee). In a worst-case scenario where neither Enagbare or Van ness can suit up Sunday, Arron Mosby and/or Barryn Sorrell will likely see rotational snaps at defensive end.

Limited in practice
Enagbare (knee) was estimated as a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.
ANALYSIS
Enagbare has yet to miss a game this season, and this is a new injury for the reserve edge rusher, who has been seeing increased reps in recent weeks while Lukas Van Ness (foot) has been injured. Enagbare has logged 34 percent of the defensive snaps across nine games, producing 22 tackles (seven solo), including 0.5 sacks.

Plays in all 17 games again in 2024
Enagbare finished the 2024 season with 39 tackles (18 solo), including 4.5 sacks, and two forced fumbles across 17 regular-season contests.
ANALYSIS
A fifth-round pick out of South Carolina in 2022, Enagbare has yet to miss a game in his three-year NFL career, starting 18 of the 51 games he's appeared in for Green Bay, including seven starts this past season. Enagbare set career highs in defensive snaps (511), tackles and sacks during the 2024 campaign and has developed into a key member of the rotation off the edge for the Packers' defense. Enagbare has one year remaining on his rookie contract.

Sacks Howell twice in Week 15
Enagbare registered five solo tackles, including 2.0 sacks, during the Packers' 30-13 win over the Seahawks this past Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Enagbare sacked Sam Howell twice within a span of three plays late in the third quarter, which forced the Seahawks to punt on the first play of the fourth quarter. Enagbare is up to 4.5 sacks through 14 regular-season games, and he'll look to add to his total against the Saints on Monday.
Sep 23, 2024
Impresses in Week 3
Enagbare recorded four total tackles (one solo), including 1.5 sacks, while also forcing a fumble during Sunday's 30-14 win over the Titans.
ANALYSIS
The third-year pro had his most productive game of the season Sunday, getting after Will Levis in the second half and recording 1.5 sacks and a forced fumble, both of which led the Packers' defense. Enagbare sustained a partially torn ACL during the Packers' Wild Card win over the Cowboys last season, but he's responded well, playing 119 total snaps (82 defensively and 37 on special teams) across Green Bay's first three contests. Expect Enagbare to continue contributing as a rotational edge rusher as the season progresses.

Past hamstring issue
Enagbare returned to practice Wednesday, Pete Dougherty of the Green Bay Press-Gazette reports.
ANALYSIS
The third-year outside linebacker had missed the beginning of Green Bay's training camp with a hamstring injury, but it now appears that he's moved past the issue. Enagbare recorded 37 total tackles, including 2.0 sacks, across 17 regular-season games in 2023, and he's expected to serve as a rotational edge rusher once again in 2024.
Aug 6, 2024
Unavailable at training camp
Enagbare has been dealing with a hamstring injury at the Packers' training camp, Pete Dougherty of the Green Bay Press-Gazette reports.
ANALYSIS
Enagbare was a full participant at the team's OTAs in May after suffering a season-ending knee injury in January, but he's now nursing a hamstring issue. The 24-year-old appears to be unlikely to be available for Saturday's preseason opener in Cleveland.
May 24, 2024
Fully participating in OTAs
Enagbare (knee) has been a full participant in Packers' OTAs, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Enagbare was originally believed to have suffered a torn ACL in Green Bay's wild-card loss to the Cowboys, but tests later revealed that wasn't the case, and he's now back on the field in full capacity. The 2022 fifth-rounder has played in all 34 regular-season games since entering the league, making 11 starts and recording five sacks off the edge. Enagbare is a key rotational piece off the edge for Green Bay.

Getting work in
Enagbare (knee) participated in OTAs on Tuesday, Ryan Wood of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS
Enagbare was able to avoid a significant injury, which was originally believed to be an ACL tear, during the Packers' wild-card win over the Cowboys last season. It's not clear how involved he was while participating, and if he did team or individual drills. However, his ability to be on the field this early in his recovery is good news for the South Carolina product and the Packers.

Injury severity downplayed
Enagbare (knee) did not sustain a "complete tear" of his ACL in Green Bay's wild-card victory over Dallas, according to Ryan Wood of USA Today.
ANALYSIS
It had been assumed up to this point that Enagbare was working back from a severe injury that -- based on the timing -- could have cost him the entire 2024 season, but GM Brian Gutenkust revealed that he has not undergone surgery and may not need to, so he could be ready to return sooner than anticipated.
Jan 22, 2024
Tending to ruptured ACL
Enagbare sustained a ruptured ACL during the Packers' wild-card win at Dallas, Ryan Wood of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS
Enagbare thought after he picked up the injury that it might be a bone bruise, but that turned out to be wishful thinking. He'll undergo surgery to repair his knee, and his availability for the start of the 2024 season is now in doubt.
Jan 18, 2024
Unable to play Saturday
Enagbare (knee) has been ruled out for Saturday's divisional round matchup with the 49ers, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers official website reports.
ANALYSIS
Enagbare suffered an ACL injury in the team's 48-32 wild-card win over the Cowboys and his absence Saturday comes as no surprise. With Enagbare unavailable, Brenton Cox is a candidate to see an uptick in usage at outside linebacker against the 49ers.
Jan 15, 2024
Suffers ACL injury versus Dallas
Enagbare is feared to have suffered a torn ACL during Green Bay's wild-card win versus the Cowboys on Sunday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Enagbare suffered a knee injury after logging one tackle (one solo) during Sunday's playoff victory. Lukas Van Ness and Brenton Cox should be in line for expanding roles during next week's divisional-round game versus the 49ers if Enagbare's injury is as serious as it's initially feared to be.
Oct 10, 2023
Gets first sack of season
Enagbare tallied three tackles (two solo) and one sack in the Packers' 17-13 Week 5 loss to the Raiders.
ANALYSIS
Enagbare's sack was his first of the season and fourth of his career. He did his damage across 29 defensive snaps (45 percent), but he also was on the field for 13 special teams plays (65 percent). The Packers have a Week 6 bye, so the second-year edge-rusher will begin preparing for the following week's game against the Broncos.
Mar 4, 2023
Records three sacks as rookie
Enagbare registered 31 tackles (18 solo), three sacks and three pass deflections over 17 games in the 2022 season.
ANALYSIS
The fifth-rounder did not open the season in a key role, but his playing time picked up after fellow pass rusher Rashan Gary (knee) was lost for the season, and he played at least half the defensive snaps in all but one of his final eight appearances. Enagbare heads into 2023 behind both Gary and Preston Smith on the depth chart, but should Gary's absence extend into the regular season, Enagbare could again play an expanded role.
Dec 20, 2022
Collects third sack
Enagbare made two solo tackles, recorded a sack and deflected a pass in Monday's 24-12 victory over the Rams.
ANALYSIS
Enagbare played over two-thirds of the snaps for the third time in five games and recorded the third sack of his rookie season. With fellow edge Rashan Gary (knee) out for the season, Enagbare will remain the Packers' primary pass-rush option opposite Preston Smith.
Apr 30, 2022
Going to Green Bay
The Packers selected Enagbare in the fifth round of the 2022 NFL Draft, 179th overall.
ANALYSIS
Enagbare will have to cut it at linebacker for the Packers, because at 6-foot-4 and 258 pounds, the South Carolina product is too small to play in three-man fronts. His 4.87-second 40 cast some doubt over Enagbare's ability to play in space, but Enagbare has excellent reach (34 and 3/4-inch arms) to go with standout burst (37-inch vertical).
