Larry Ogunjobi Injury News & Updates
Keep up with the latest injuries from the Bills vs Texans game on Thursday with our National Football League injury report.Oct 14, 2025
Eligible to return to Buffalo
Ogunjobi's six-game suspension was lifted by the NFL on Tuesday, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Ogunjobi was handed a six-game suspension by the NFL in March after he violated the league's policy regarding performance-enhancing substances. The Bills are on a bye for Week 7, so the 2017 third-rounder should be available for Week 8 against the Panthers on Sunday, Oct. 26. Ogunjobi signed a one-year contract with the Bills in March after spending the past three seasons with the Steelers. He finished the 2024 regular season with 41 tackles (16 solo), including 1.5 sacks, across 15 games.
Mar 14, 2025
Receives six-game suspension
Ogunjobi has been suspended the first six regular-season games of the 2025 season for violation of the league's policy regarding performance-enhancing substances, Matt Parrino of The Syracuse Post-Standard reports.
ANALYSIS
Ogunjobi is fresh off signing a one-year deal with Buffalo, but his six-game suspension could make it more difficult for the veteran defensive lineman to challenge DaQuan Jones for a starting spot next to Ed Oliver. Across 15 regular-season appearances with Pittsburgh in 2024, he tallied 41 tackles (16 solo) and 1.5 sacks.
Mar 12, 2025
Bound for Buffalo
The Bills will sign Ogunjobi to a one-year, $8.3 million contract, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Coming off the heels of a season with Pittsburgh in which he recorded 41 tackles (16 solo) and 1.5 sacks over 15 games, Ogunjobi is now set to suit up for a new squad. He figures to play a significant role on Buffalo's defensive line in 2025 and could challenge veteran DaQuan Jones for a starting spot next to Ed Oliver.
Mar 10, 2025
Done in Pittsburgh
The Steelers released Ogunjobi on Monday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Ogunjobi saw his role on the interior of Pittsburgh's defensive line shrink slightly in 2024, and now he's bound for free agency. He will turn 31 in June, so he could be an attractive option for another team looking to add a veteran presence on defense.
Jan 21, 2025
Remains consistent in 2024
Ogunjobi posted 41 tackles, including 1.5 sacks, over 15 regular-season contests during the 2024 campaign.
ANALYSIS
Ogunjobi missed two games due to a groin injury late in the campaign but otherwise maintained a steady role along the Steelers' defensive line. He's finished with a tackle total in the 40s in five straight seasons and has logged between 1.5 and 3.0 sacks in all but one of those campaigns. Ogunjobi doesn't produce numbers that make him worthy of IDP consideration, but he's been a steady performer and will likely maintain the same role in 2025, when he'll be in the final year of the three-year deal he inked in 2023.
Dec 23, 2024
Looks healthy for Wednesday
Ogunjobi (groin) was a full participant in the Steelers' Monday walk-through, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Ogunjobi logging a full practice listing just two days before Wednesday's outing bodes extremely well for his status. The starting defensive end has missed back-to-back outings after suffering a groin injury in Week 15 against the Browns. If he doesn't return to the starting lineup for the Christmas game, he should at least be primed for a return as the Steelers play a tough Kansas City squad.
Dec 21, 2024
Remains sidelined Week 16
Ogunjobi (groin) is inactive for Saturday's game against the Ravens, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Ogunjobi will miss a second consecutive game due to the groin injury he suffered in Week 14 against the Browns. Dean Lowry and Isaiahh Loudermilk are the top candidates to fill in for the starting defensive end. Ogunjobi's next chance to suit up will come Wednesday against the Chiefs.
Dec 19, 2024
Questionable for Week 16
Ogunjobi (groin) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice and is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Ravens, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Ogunjobi was unable to play in the Steelers' Week 15 loss to the Eagles due to a groin injury he suffered against the Browns in Week 14. He was listed as a limited practice participant all week, and his official status for Saturday's AFC North clash may not be known until the Steelers release the inactive players list approximately 90 minutes before the 4:30 p.m. ET kickoff. If Ogunjobi is unable to play, Dean Lowry and Isaiahh Loudermilk would both see increased snaps at defensive end alongside starter Cameron Heyward.
Dec 13, 2024
Out for Week 15
Ogunjobi (groin) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Eagles, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
The veteran defensive tackle from Charlotte didn't practice all week after sustaining a groin injury in Pittsburgh's Week 14 win over the Browns, so missing Sunday's contest comes as no surprise. Isaiahh Loudermilk will likely have an increased role with the Steelers' first-team defense in Ogunjobi's stead in Week 15.
Dec 11, 2024
Misses Wednesday's practice
Ogunjobi (groin) didn't practice Wednesday, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Ogunjobi played nine defensive snaps and recorded two total tackles in Steelers' Week 14 win over the Browns before exiting with a groin injury. Wednesday's DNP suggests Ogunjobi is likely at risk of missing additional time, so he'll need to upgrade to at least limited practice Thursday or Friday in order to play in Week 15, when the Steelers travel to Philadelphia.
Dec 8, 2024
Ruled out versus Browns
Ogunjobi (groin) won't return to Sunday's matchup versus Cleveland, per Mike DeFabo of The Athletic.
ANALYSIS
Ogunjobi will miss the remainder of the game after suffering a groin injury in the first quarter. Isaiahh Loudermilk has now replaced Ogunjobi as the team's top defensive end.
Dec 8, 2024
Exits game due to groin injury
Ogunjobi (groin) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Browns, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.
ANALYSIS
Ogunjobi suffered a groin injury in the first quarter of Sunday's game. Isaiahh Loudermilk will see an uptick in snaps at defensive end for as long as Ogunjobi is sidelined.
Oct 22, 2024
Disruptive in win
Ogunjobi recorded two solo tackles, including a tackle for a loss and 1.0 sacks, in Sunday's 37-15 win over the Jets.
ANALYSIS
The starting defensive end also played on more than 50 percent of the defensive snaps for the sixth time in seven games. Ogunjobi has 19 total tackles (nine solo), including 1.5 sacks, in 2024.
Oct 5, 2024
Sheds questionable tag
Ogunjobi (groin) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday night's game against Dallas, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Ogunjobi popped up on the Steelers' injury report Thursday due to a groin issue, but that doesn't appear to be bothering him enough to put his status for Sunday's game in question. In the Steelers' Week 4 loss to the Colts, Ogunjobi tallied six tackles (three solo), including 0.5 sacks.
Oct 4, 2024
Questionable to face Dallas
Ogunjobi (groin) is questionable for Sunday night's game against the Cowboys, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The veteran defensive tackle was added to the injury report Thursday, getting in a pair of limited practices to close out the week. Ogunjobi has appeared in all four games to this point, registering 14 tackles (six solo), including 0.5 sacks, and three QB hits.
Dec 18, 2023
Gets to quarterback Saturday
Ogunjobi recorded four tackles (two solo) including a sack in Saturday's 30-13 loss at Indianapolis.
ANALYSIS
Ogunjobi split a double team and chased down Gardner Minshew late in the first quarter to put up his third sack of the season in Week 15. He hasn't been as effective in run defense in his second season in Pittsburgh, but he's put up better numbers as a pass rusher. Still, he's not on the IDP radar in most formats going into Week 16.
Oct 18, 2023
Not listed on injury report
Ogunjobi (undisclosed) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, Mike DeFabo of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Ogunjobi is no longer on the injury report after suffering an undisclosed injury during the team's Week 5 win against the Ravens. Despite the injury, the 29-year-old still logged his second highest snap total of the season versus Baltimore and will look to produce again in Sunday's matchup with the Rams.
Oct 8, 2023
Hurt in Week 5 win
Ogunjobi (undisclosed) was "shaken up" in Sunday's victory over Baltimore, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
It's not yet clear exactly what type of injury Ogunjobi may be dealing with, as Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin stated only that the defensive end was shaken up "in some kind of way," per Josh Carney of USA Today. Ogunjobi recorded one tackle Sunday and will have extra time to recover with Pittsburgh set for its Week 6 bye before facing off against the Rams on Sunday, Oct. 22.
Sep 22, 2023
Will play Sunday
Ogunjobi (foot) will play against the Raiders on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Ogunjobi has been nursing a foot injury all season and he will play through it once again Sunday. So far this season, the 29-year-old has registered six tackles (five solo) and a sack in two games played.
Sep 20, 2023
Misses practice Wednesday
Ogunjobi (foot) was a non-participant at the Steelers' practice Wednesday, Teresa Varley of the team's official website reports.
ANALYSIS
Ogunjobi was on the sidelines Wednesday with the foot injury he's been nursing since the beginning of the season, though he has played in both of Pittsburgh's contests this year. Considering he's been active each week, the defensive lineman seems likely to be able to go again in Week 3 versus the Raiders.
Sep 16, 2023
Good to go
Ogunjobi (foot) fully participated in Saturday's practice and will be available for Monday's matchup with the Browns, Mike DeFabo of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Ogunjobi appeared to be trending in the wrong direction earlier in the week, but that was a false alarm. Barring any setbacks, he is in line to take on his usual role at defense end.
Sep 15, 2023
Trending wrong way
Ogunjobi (foot) did not participate at practice Friday, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
After logging a limited practice Thursday, Ogunjobi is headed in the wrong direction ahead of Pittsburgh's matchup versus the Browns in Week 2. If he is forced to sit out, it could mean additional snaps for rookie second-rounder Keeanu Benton.
Sep 10, 2023
Active for opener
Ogunjobi (foot) is active Week 1 against the 49ers, Mike DeFabo of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Ogunjobi was the only Steeler listed on the injury report this week, but he'll suit up Sunday morning for a defensive line that will be at full strength. Last season, his first with Pittsburgh, Ogunjobi appeared in 16 games and collected 48 combined tackles and 1.5 sacks.
Sep 8, 2023
Questionable for date vs. 9ers
Ogunjobi (foot) is listed as questionable Friday for Sunday's game versus San Francisco, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
On the bright side for Pittsburgh, Ogunjobi was the only Steeler listed on the injury report Friday. If he has to sit out, it will likely lead to increased reps on the defensive line for one or both of Armon Watts and Keeanu Benton.
Mar 14, 2023
Staying in Pittsburgh
Ogunjobi is expected to sign a three-year deal in which he will earn $21.75 million over the first two years of the deal, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Ogunjobi played 615 snaps last year, the fewest he's played in a season since 2017. However, his production remained stable, as he recorded between 46 and 52 tackles in each of the last five years. Despite his consistency as a tackler, his 1.5 sacks represented his lowest total since his rookie year. He should retain a significant snap share as a starter, but expect him to play in a rotation again.
Dec 31, 2022
Cleared for Sunday
Ogunjobi (toe) has been upgraded from questionable and does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Ravens, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Ogunjobi didn't practice Wednesday and Thursday, but the defensive tackle will be primed for a pivotal game against a run-heavy Ravens come Sunday. While he won't get near the seven sacks registered last season, Ogunjobi could still match his career high (52) in tackles with solid performances over the next two weeks.
Dec 30, 2022
Questionable for Sunday
Ogunjobi (toe) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Ravens, Mike DeFabo of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Ogunjobi sat out practice Wednesday and Thursday due to the toe issue, though he returned Friday for a limited session. The 28-year-old had four tackles (three solo) and played a season-high 81 percent of Pittsburgh's defensive snaps against the Raiders last week.
Nov 11, 2022
Full go Friday
Ogunjobi (knee) was a full participant in practice Friday and does not carry a game status designation for Sunday's game against the Saints, Mike DeFabo of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Ogunjobi logged a limited practice Wednesday after missing Pittsburgh's previous game against Philadelphia in Week 8. Now, the 28-year-old defensive lineman looks ready to play again after working his way back to practice in full. Expect Ogunjobi to reprise a starting role alongside Montravius Adams and Cameron Heyward during Sunday's contest against New Orleans.
Nov 10, 2022
Returns to practice Thursday
Ogunjobi (knee) was listed as a limited participant in practice Thursday.
ANALYSIS
Ogunjobi was ruled out ahead of Pittsburgh's Week 8 loss to Pittsburgh and did not practice Wednesday coming off the team's bye week. It's unclear when this knee injury first arose, but he is trending in the right direction ahead of Sunday's game against the Saints. Ogujobi will have one more practice to improve his status before the Steelers' final injury.
Oct 28, 2022
Ruled out for Week 8
Ogunjobi (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Eagles, Mike DeFabo of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Ogunjobi was unable to practice throughout the week due to this knee injury. Chris Wormley will likely play an expanded role in Ogunjobi's absence. Ogunjobi will have an extra week to recover with the Steelers on bye in Week 9 before returning to action in Week 10 against the Saints.
Oct 15, 2022
Returns to full practice
Ogunjobi (back) logged a full practice Friday and does not have an injury designation for Sunday's matchup against Tampa Bay, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Ogunjobi failed to practice to start the week after suffering a back injury in Week 5. However, he should be ready to return as a key member of the Steelers' defensive line. Through five games, Ogunjobi has tallied 12 total tackles and 0.5 sacks.
Oct 9, 2022
Won't return Sunday
Ogunjobi (back) won't return to Sunday's contest against the Bills, per Steelers Senior Director of Communications Burt Lauten.
ANALYSIS
Ogunjobi suffered a back injury in the first half and won't return. In his absence, Chris Wormley and DeMarvin Leal figure to garner increased roles for the remainder of the contest.
Oct 9, 2022
Suffers back injury Sunday
Ogunjobi is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Bills due to a back injury, Steelers Senior Director of Communications Burt Lauten reports.
ANALYSIS
Ogunjobi suffered the injury in the first half, but the extent of the issue remains unclear. He's played over 50 percent of the team's defensive snaps through the first four weeks of the season, so his absence will open up opportunities for Chris Wormley and DeMarvin Leal.
Jun 21, 2022
Inks deal with Pittsburgh
The Steelers signed Ogunjobi (foot) to a one-year deal Tuesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Ogunjobi registered a career-high seven sacks last season with Cincinnati and was set to join Chicago on a three-year, $40.5 million deal until failed physical nullified the deal. The 2017 third-round pick offers plenty of defensive versatility -- which is a perfect for Pittsburgh's defensive schemes -- and will be a quality replacement for recently retired defensive tackle Stephon Tuitt.
May 10, 2022
Completes visit with Jets
Ogunjobi spent time over the last two days on a free-agency visit with New York, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Ogunjobi is looking for a new team to sign with this offseason after his previous three-year, $40.5 million deal with Chicago fell through due to a failed physical in March. The sixth-year defensive tackle failed this test due to issues with his surgically repaired right foot but should still be a desirable free agent for teams around the league in need of a starting-caliber run stopper. Ogunjobi accumulated 49 tackles and a career-high seven sacks over 16 games with the Bengals before suffering a foot injury in the team's wild-card round win over the Raiders in last season's playoffs.
Mar 28, 2022
Foot still an issue
Ogunjobi failed his physical with the Bears due to an ongoing issue with his surgically repaired right foot, Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
It was reported that Ogunjobi agreed to a three-year, $40.5 million contract with the Bears earlier this offseason, though the deal was ultimately voided due to a failed physical. Ogunjobi suffered the foot injury during the Bengals wild-card round victory over the Raiders. General manager Ryan Poles noted that the Bears would be interested in pursuing Ogunjobi in the future, though it's unclear when he'll be healthy or which other teams may have interest.
Mar 18, 2022
Failed physical blocks Bears deal
The Bears announced Friday that Ogunjobi (foot) will not sign with the team due to a failed physical, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Chicago had agreed to a three-year, $40.5 million contract Ogunjobi, but the transaction's finalization as subject to a successful physical. It appears that Ogunjobi, who is coming off foot surgery, still has a few steps to go in his recovery. Once back to full health, the experienced defensive tackle will be free to explore further contract options.
Mar 14, 2022
Signs with Chicago
Ogunjobi signed a three-year, $40.5 million deal with the Bears on Monday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Ogunjobi registered a career-high seven sacks last year with Cincinnati, but he had to be carted off the field due to a foot injury during the Bengals' wild-card win over the Raiders. The 2017 third-round pick is expected to be healthy and ready to contribute for Chicago by the time training camp rolls around.
Jan 17, 2022
Placed on injured reserve
The Bengals placed Ogunjobi (undisclosed) on injured reserve Monday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Ogunjobi was carted off with a foot injury during Saturday's wild-card win over the Raiders, and he'll be forced to miss the remainder of the season. B.J. Hill, Josh Tupou (knee) and Tyler Shelvin could see increased playing time for the remainder of the playoffs.
Jan 15, 2022
injures foot Saturday
Ogunjobi injured his right foot during Saturday's wild-card game against the Raiders.
ANALYSIS
On the Raiders' first possession of the second half, Ogunjobi was slow to get up before needing a cart to get off the field. With Mike Daniels (groin) also leaving this game and Josh Tupou (knee) and Tyler Shelvin (coach's decision) inactive, the Bengals are down to D.J. Reader and B.J. Hill as healthy defensive tackles.
Jan 10, 2022
Activated off COVID-19 list
Ogunjobi (undisclosed) was activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list Monday.
ANALYSIS
Ogunjobi was sidelined for the final week of the regular season, but he's expected to return for the wild-card matchup against the Raiders on Saturday. He's played at least 58 percent of the Bengal's defensive snaps in every game this season, so he should provide a big boost to Cincinnati's defense.
Jan 6, 2022
Placed on COVID-19 list
The Bengals placed Ogunjobi (illness) on the reserve/COVID-19 list Thursday.
ANALYSIS
While the Bengals haven't specified whether Ogunjobi has tested positive for COVID-19, he was held out of Wednesday's practice due to an illness. It's unlikely that he'll be available Sunday against the Browns, which should create more playing time for Josh Tupou and Tyler Shelvin.
Oct 26, 2021
Instrumental in win
Ogunjobi had 1.5 sacks and seven QB pressures in the Bengals' win over the Ravens.
ANALYSIS
The Bengals' DL got after Lamar Jackson all day, sacking him five times and pressuring him over 30 times. Sam Hubbard and Trey Hendrickson, but Ogunjobi deserves a ton of praise for his play in Week 7. It won't always register in his fantasy stats (25 tackles, 2.5 sacks so far), but he plays a big part in the Bengals' interior line.
Oct 10, 2021
Avoids inactive list
Ogunjobi (knee) is active Week 5 against Green Bay, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
It wasn't thought that Ogunjobi would have a great chance of suiting up after missing Friday's practice entirely, but the 27-year-old defensive tackle has managed to avoid the inactive list. Should his reps be limited for any reason, however, B.J. Hill would be in line to see more work.
Oct 8, 2021
Questionable for Week 5
Ogunjobi (knee) is questionable for Sunday's game against Green Bay.
ANALYSIS
Ogunjobi was limited in practice Wednesday and Thursday but was held out of Friday's session. B.J. Hill should serve as a starter if the 27-year-old is inactive Sunday.
Sep 30, 2021
Returns after halftime
Ogunjobi (knee) returned to begin the second half of Thursday's game against Jacksonville, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
ANALYSIS
Ogunjobi was injured on Jacksonville's final defensive possession before halftime, but he was cleared to return after having his knee looked back. The defensive tackle's return will be a boon to a Cincinnati defense that had defended the run well coming into this one -- thanks in no small part to Ogubjobi -- but allowed a pair of scores on the ground over the first two quarters Thursday.
Sep 30, 2021
Leaves Thursday's game
Ogunjobi was forced out of Thursday's game against the Jaguars with a knee injury, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Ogunjobi recorded three tackles (two solo) before leaving the game. B.J. Hill will likely take on an increased role at defensive tackle if Ogunjobi is unable to return.
Sep 14, 2021
Registers six tackles
Ogunjobi made six tackles (four solo) and a sack in Sunday's 27-24 overtime win over the Vikings.
ANALYSIS
Ogunjobi played 59 defensive snaps (71 percent) during the season opener. His six stops would've been a season high in 2020 when he was with the Browns. The 27-year-old defensive tackle could provide some IDP upside this season, especially if he can keep getting to the quarterback. He could have a good chance against Chicago's putrid offensive line in Week 2.
Aug 10, 2021
Comes off PUP list
The Bengals activated Ogunjobi (hamstring) from the PUP list Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
Ogunjobi has passed his physical and is cleared to practice. The veteran defensive end missed the start of training camp after landing on the PUP list due to a hamstring injury July 27.
Jul 28, 2021
Placed on PUP list
Ogunjobi (hamstring) was placed on the PUP list Wednesday, Jay Morrison of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Ogubjobi was described as day-to-day by coach Zac Taylor, though hamstring injuries can be tricky, so the team will likely play it safe with the offseason addition. Cincinnati will open preseason play Aug. 14 against the Buccaneers.
Mar 17, 2021
Signing with Bengals
Ogunjobi agreed to a one-year deal with Cincinnati on Wednesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
The 26-year-old spent the first four seasons of his career in Cleveland and totaled 46 tackles (23 solo), 2.5 sacks and one forced fumble in 15 games last season. Ogunjobi should compete for snaps at defensive tackle with D.J. Reader alongside Geno Atkins.
Jan 29, 2021
Headed for free agency
The Browns are expected to let Ogunjobi test the free agent market in March, Mary Kay Cabot of the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports. The fourth-year defensive lineman recorded 46 tackles and 2.5 sacks over 15 games in 2020.
ANALYSIS
Ogunjobi, 26, becomes an unrestricted free agent, and the Browns may not want to pay what it will take to re-up him. The website Spotrac.com estimates the lineman's market value at three years and $28 million. Ogunjobi has been durable -- missed four games over four seasons -- and productive for the Browns, but the organization should have tackle Andrew Billings back at a less costly rate.
Nov 27, 2020
Ready for Sunday's contest
Ogunjobi (ankle) won't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Jaguars, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
ANALYSIS
Following back-to-back limited practices to end the week, Ogunjobi has been given the green light for Week 12. The fourth-year defensive tackle has collected 28 stops and a sack this season. He'll look to clog up running lanes against rookie running back James Robinson on Sunday.
Nov 25, 2020
Won't practice Wednesday
Ogunjobi (ankle) will not practice Wednesday, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.
ANALYSIS
Coach Kevin Stefanski said that he expects Ogunjobi back at practice Thursday, so it doesn't appear that the starting defensive lineman's Week 12 availability is in serious jeopardy. With Myles Garrett (illness) already ruled out for Sunday's game in Jacksonville, an absence by Ogunjobi would be even more impactful for Cleveland's run defense than usual.
Nov 17, 2020
Records half sack in win
Ogunjobi had two tackles and half a sack in Sunday's 10-7 win over the Texans.
ANALYSIS
It was the first sack of the season for Ogunjobi, who posted 5.5 sacks in each of the last two seasons in Cleveland.
Oct 20, 2020
Returns to action
Ogunjobi had five tackles, one for a loss, and played 55 snaps in Sunday's 38-7 loss to Pittsburgh.
ANALYSIS
Ogunjobi returned to action after missing one game with an abdomen injury. He showed no ill effects from the injury while playing 85 percent of the defensive snaps.
Oct 18, 2020
Back for Week 6
Ogunjobi (abdomen) is active Week 6 against the Steelers.
ANALYSIS
Ogunjobi racked up 10 combined tackles through the first four games of the season, but was forced out last week against the Colts due to injury. Despite only seeing the practice field on a limited basis this week, he'll be able to suit up and presumably take back over his starting defensive tackle role.
Oct 16, 2020
Questionable for Week 6
Ogunjobi (abdomen) is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's divisional matchup against the Steelers, Andrew Gribble of the Browns' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Ogunjobi has already missed one game due to his abdomen injury, but it looks like he has a fair chance to retake the field in Pittsburgh. He was limited in practice this week.
Oct 14, 2020
Limited showing Wednesday
Ogunjobi (abdomen) was a limited participant during Wednesday's practice, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
ANALYSIS
Ogunjobi suffered the injury during Week 4's game against the Cowboys, but it appears that he's trending in the right direction. If Ogunjobi is forced to miss any more action, Jordan Elliott is expected to continue to receive the start in his absence.
Oct 5, 2020
Will undergo MRI
Ogunjobi (oblique) will undergo an MRI on Monday, Mary Kay Cabot of the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
ANALYSIS
Ogunjobi left Sunday's win over the Cowboys due to the injury after playing 29 snaps and recording a pair of tackles. He was ranked the 21st best interior lineman by Pro Football Focus heading into the game.
Oct 4, 2020
Exits with abdominal issue
Ogunjobi sustained an abdominal injury during Sunday's game against the Cowboys, Jake Trotter of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Ogunjobi had two tackles before exiting during the second half with the abdominal injury. The severity of the issue remains unclear, and the 26-year-old's status should be updated within the next couple days.
Aug 26, 2020
Back in action
Ogunjobi (groin) was a full participant during Wednesday's practice, Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Ogunjobi missed the past week of practice while dealing with the groin issue but was back to work for valuable practice reps. The 26-year-old is expected to start across the defensive line again this season after he produced 50 tackles (35 solo) and 5.5 sacks across 15 games in 2019.
Aug 18, 2020
Tending to groin injury
Ogunjobi (groin) didn't participate in Tuesday's practice, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
The Browns' defensive line now has two starters on the shelf since Myles Garrett (hamstring) still can't go. Ogunjobi dealt with a groin injury last training camp but shook it off after a couple weeks, so at this time there isn't cause for concern that he won't be ready for Week 1.
Sep 20, 2019
Will be ready for Sunday
Ogunjobi (undisclosed) will play in Sunday's game versus the Rams.
ANALYSIS
Ogunjobi has performed well through the first two games, registering eight tackles (five solo) and a sack. He'll have a decent shot at getting to Jared Goff in this matchup, as Goff has been sacked four times so far.
Sep 18, 2019
Watches practice Wednesday
Ogunjobi (undisclosed) didn't participate in Wednesday's practice, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.
ANALYSIS
Ogunjobi played just 62 percent of defensive snaps in Monday's game versus the Jets after playing 82 percent in the season opener. He may have gotten injured in Week 2, but the Browns may also be exercising caution just two days after the game. We'll know more based off of his practice status for the rest of the week leading up to Sunday's game versus the Rams.
Aug 18, 2019
Back in action Saturday
Ogunjobi (groin) saw action for 19 defensive snaps in Saturday's preseason game against the Colts.
ANALYSIS
Ogunjobi made two tackles (one solo) after dealing with a groin injury that forced him to miss the first week of the preseason. Now that he's back healthy, expect the 25-year-old to assume his starting role as the top interior defensive lineman on the depth chart.
