Samson Ebukam Injury News & Updates
Nov 7, 2025
Missing more time
Ebukam (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Falcons.
ANALYSIS
The 30-year-old is now in line to miss his third consecutive game after sustaining an MCL injury in the Week 7 win over the Chargers. With Ebukam and Tyquan Lewis (groin) both sidelined in Week 10, JT Tuimoloau is expected to operate as the Colts' top reserve defensive end.
Oct 31, 2025
Out for Week 9
Ebukam (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Steelers, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Ebukam is still recovering from an MCL injury he suffered in Week 7. He'll miss his second straight game, allowing Tyquan Lewis and JT Tuimoloau to see increased snaps off the edge for the Colts.
Oct 29, 2025
Misses another practice
Ebukam (knee) did not practice Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Ebukam is recovering from an MCL injury that he sustained during the Colts' Week 7 win over the Chargers, which prevented him from playing against the Titans this past Sunday. He is expected to miss multiple weeks while rehabbing from the injury, so he is unlikely to be cleared to return for Week 9 against the Steelers.
Oct 24, 2025
Out for Week 8
Ebukam (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Titans.
ANALYSIS
Ebukam suffered a multi-week MCL injury in last Sunday's win over the Chargers, so his absence wasn't unexpected. With Ebukam out, Tyquan Lewis and JT Tuimoloau are expected to see increased reps on defense.
Oct 20, 2025
Dealing with MCL injury
Ebukam is expected to miss multiple weeks after sustaining an MCL injury in Sunday's 38-24 win over the Chargers, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The veteran edge rusher is seeking a second opinion regarding his MCL injury, but he's currently expected to be sidelined over the next couple of weeks. Ebukam has played 208 defensive snaps over the Colts' first seven games this season, recording 24 total tackles, including 2.0 sacks. In his stead, Tyquan Lewis (groin) and rookie JT Tuimoloau are expected to serve as Indianapolis' reserve defensive ends.
Oct 19, 2025
Ruled out Week 7
Ebukam has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Chargers due to a knee injury.
ANALYSIS
Ebukam sustained a knee injury during a collision with teammate DeForest Buckner. Ebukam had his knee evaluated by medical staff, who determined that the injury is severe enough for the 2017 fourth-rounder to be sidelined for the rest of Sunday's game. With Ebukam and Tyquan Lewis (groin) both done for the day, the Colts will turn to JT Tuimoloau, Adetomiwa Adebawore and Neville Gallimore to pick up more rotational snaps on the defensive line.
Sep 8, 2025
Records sack in season opener
Ebukam had a sack and three QB hits in Sunday's win over Miami.
ANALYSIS
It was strong debut after recording a career-high 9.5 sacks last season. Ebukam played on 18 of the defense's 47 snaps. He looked at full speed despite nursing a back issue during the preseason. He'll get significant snaps as part of the rotation at defensive end.
Sep 3, 2025
Full go for Week 1
Ebukam (back) did not appear on the Colts' injury report Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Ebukam was nursing a back issue during the preseason, but he has now moved past the injury, setting him up to play in Sunday's regular-season opener against Miami. The 30-year-old played in all 17 regular-season games with Indianapolis in 2024, recording a career-high 57 total tackles (39 solo), including 9.5 sacks, while also adding three forced fumbles and a pass defensed.
Aug 17, 2025
Did not play Saturday
Ebukam (back) did not play in Saturday's preseason loss to Green Bay.
ANALYSIS
Ebukam entered training camp fully recovered from a torn Achilles that he suffered in July of 2024, but he's dealing with a back issue jeopardizes his status for the start of the regular season. Ebukam's absence would open the door for Tyquan Lewis, JT Tuimoloau and Durell Nchami to see more rotational snaps at defensive end behind Laiatu Latu and Kwity Paye (groin).
Aug 14, 2025
Working through back injury
Head coach Shane Steichen said Thursday that Ebukam is nursing a back injury, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Ebukam entered training camp fully recovered from a torn Achilles that he suffered in July of 2024, but he's dealing with a back issue jeopardizes his chances of playing in Saturday's preseason game against the Packers. Ebukam's absence would open the door for Tyquan Lewis, JT Tuimoloau and Durell Nchami to see more rotational snaps at defensive end behind Laiatu Latu and Kwity Paye (groin).
Jul 30, 2025
Returns in limited capacity
Ebukam (Achilles) was a limited participant in Wednesday's training camp practice, Paul Bretl of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS
Ebukam missed the entire 2024 season after tearing his Achilles during training camp. He's progressed enough in his recovery to be back on the practice field, though the Colts will limit his snap count as he eases his way back. Ebukam may be held out of preseason games, but the 30-year-old defensive end appears to be on track to play in the Colts' regular-season opener against the Dolphins on Sept. 7.
May 7, 2025
Expects to be ready for training camp
Ebukam (Achilles) believes he will be cleared for full participation by the start of training camp, the Indianapolis Star reports.
ANALYSIS
Ebukam missed the 2024 season after suffering a torn Achilles' tendon during a July 28 practice. The Colts must believe he'll be able to return as he has a $10.49 million cap hit for 2025 and the team could have saved $6.49 million with his release. Ebukam had 9.5 sacks in 2023, but he'll have a daunting task returning to form coming back from an injury that could limit his explosiveness.
Aug 27, 2024
On IR with possibility to return
Ebukam (Achilles) was placed on injured reserve with a designation to return.
ANALYSIS
Ebukam sustained a torn Achilles' tendon during a July 28 practice. It seems very unlikely he'll be able to return this year, but the Colts are leaving the door open for the possibility he can be activated late in the season.
Jul 29, 2024
Tears Achilles
Ebukam sustained a torn Achilles tendon during Sunday's practice, Stephen Holder of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
In the wake of his injury, Ebukam is expected to miss this coming season. The 29-year-old is coming off a 2023 campaign in which he led the Colts with a career-high 9.5 sacks in 17 regular-season contests. Per Holder, Ebukam's injury figures to lead to additional snaps for fellow defensive linemen Dayo Odeyingbo and Kwity Paye, who combined for 16.5 sacks last season.
Jan 8, 2024
Quiet to end good season
Ebukam recorded three tackles (one solo) in Saturday's 23-19 loss versus the Texans.
ANALYSIS
Over 17 games this year, Ebukam recorded 57 tackles (39 solo) including 9.5 sacks and three forced fumbles. Although he couldn't quite reach the double-digit threshold, his sack total in 2023 was a career-high. He currently figures to start on the edge again for the Colts come Week 1 of the 2024 season.
Dec 19, 2023
Gets back in sack column
Ebukam recorded three tackles (two solo) including 1.5 sacks in Saturday's 30-13 win versus the Steelers.
ANALYSIS
A ferocious bull rush straight through the pads of left tackle Dan Moore all but sealed Indianapolis' victory in Week 15. Ebukam now has a sack in three of his last four games and is on pace for the first double-digit sack season of his career.
Dec 4, 2023
Season-high tackles in win
Ebukam recorded six tackles (five solo), including two sacks, while also forcing a fumble in Sunday's 31-28 overtime win over the Titans.
ANALYSIS
Ebukam registered a season-high six takedowns while getting to Will Levis twice for a pair of sacks in the victory. Since the team's Week 11 bye week, the defensive end has compiled 10 tackles, including four sacks, while forcing two fumbles over the last two games.
Nov 27, 2023
Two sacks in win
Ebukam had four total tackles, two sacks and a tackle for a loss in Sunday's win over Tampa Bay.
ANALYSIS
Ebukam set a career-high with six sacks as he's on pace for the best season of his career. He started at right end and played on 38 of the defense's 60 snaps as the Colts utilize a seven-man rotation on the defensive line.
Oct 9, 2023
Gets third sack
Ebukam had three total tackles and a sack in Sunday's win over Tennessee.
ANALYSIS
Ebukam had a big game in the pass rush which was needed with Kwity Paye out with a concussion. Ebukam has 16 total tackles and three sacks in five games this season.
Sep 12, 2023
Two tackles in Sunday's loss
Ebukam started at right defensive end and had two tackles and a tackle for a loss in Sunday's loss to Jacksonville.
ANALYSIS
Ebukam played on 37 of the defense's 70 snaps as the Colts rotated along the defensive line. He looks fully healthy after missing some time during training camp due to a hamstring injury.
Aug 10, 2023
Practicing once again
Ebukam (hamstring) returned to practice Monday, George Bremer of the Tribune-Star reports.
ANALYSIS
Ebukam suffered the injury early in camp, but he was able to make a fairly quick recovery and get back on the field. "Man, I'm blessed," Ebukam said. "I'm just happy to be back out here with the guys just running around a little bit." He should serve a rotational role on the Colts' defensive line this season, his first in Indianapolis, after spending the last two seasons with the 49ers.
Jul 29, 2023
Sits out practice Saturday
Ebukam did not participate in training camp practice Sunday due to a hamstring injury, Joel A. Erickson of The Indianapolis Star reports.
ANALYSIS
This marks the second day in a row that Ebukam has sat out practice, per Erickson, though the exact nature of his hamstring issue is still unclear. The 28-year-old defensive end was a consistent role player for the 49ers over the past two seasons, and he's also been particularly healthy for much of his six-year career, missing the first two regular-season games of his career just last season. When available, the Colts should look for Ebukam to bolster the team's pass-rushing corps, which includes two largely unproven third-year defensive ends in Dayo Odeyingbo and Kwity Paye.
Mar 14, 2023
Heading to Indy
Ebukam is set to sign a three-year, $27 million deal with the Colts, Mike Chappell of Fox 59 News Indianapolis reports.
ANALYSIS
Ebukam is coming off a productive two-year stint with the 49ers after spending his first four seasons with the Rams. The defensive end recorded 68 tackles (36 solo), five sacks and one pass defended in 32 games with the club. He now figures to play a big role on the Colts' defensive line in 2023.
Jan 20, 2023
No injury designation
Ebukam doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's divisional-round matchup against the Cowboys, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Ebukam left the 49ers' wild-card win over Seattle with an ankle injury and didn't return, though head coach Kyle Shanahan said the defensive end may have returned if the score had been closer. Nonetheless, it appears like the issue was indeed minor, as Ebukam logged a full practice Friday following back-to-back limited sessions and has been cleared for Sunday's playoff matchup.
Jan 16, 2023
Labeled day-to-day
Head coach Kyle Shanahan said Monday that Ebukam (ankle) is considered day-to-day prior to this weekend's NFC divisional round, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Although Ebukam departed Saturday's win over Seattle with an ankle issue, Shanahan noted that the sixth-year pro may have been able to return to the contest if the score was closer. With that being said, it currently sounds as if Ebukam will be available to play against the winner of Monday's matchup between the Buccaneers and the Cowboys, but his activity levels in practice throughout the week should correspond with his weekend availability.
Jan 14, 2023
Hurts ankle Saturday
Ebukam injured his ankle during Saturday's 41-23 wild-card win against the Seahawks, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
ANALYSIS
Coach Kyle Shanahan noted Ebukam may have been able to return if the game was close, but the defensive end finished it with no stats to speak of. Considering Shanahan's comment, Ebukam's status for the divisional round likely isn't in question, but his practice reps nonetheless will be monitored as the week goes on.
Nov 25, 2022
Set to play Sunday
Ebukam (quadriceps) does not carry an injury status ahead of Sunday's game against the Saints, David Lombardi of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Ebukam is set to return after missing San Francisco's last two games with a quadriceps injury. The 27-year-old played 302 defensive snaps over the first eight weeks of the season, recording 29 tackles and 3.5 sacks over this span. Ebukam should reprise a prominent pass-rushing role opposite star defensive end Nick Bosa in Week 12.
Nov 21, 2022
Ruled out Week 11
Ebukam (quadriceps) has been ruled inactive ahead of Monday's game against the Cardinals.
ANALYSIS
Ebukam picked a quadriceps injury ahead of San Francisco's Week 9 bye, leaving him sidelined for the first time this season against the Chargers in Week 10. While he was able to return to practice in a limited fashion Friday, the defensive end will now miss his second straight contest, leaving Charles Omenihu and Jordan Willis to one again play increased roles Week 11. Ebukam's next chance to play will come versus New Orleans on Sunday
Nov 18, 2022
Logs limited practice
Ebukam (quadriceps) practiced in limited fashion Friday, 49ers Webzone reports.
ANALYSIS
Ebukam missed the 49ers' Week 10 matchup against Los Angeles but managed to return to practice Friday. While it was an encouraging step forward, Ebukam's status will become clearer with Saturday's injury report. Prior to going down, he managed 29 total tackles with 3.5 sacks across eight games.
Nov 17, 2022
Doesn't practice Thursday
Ebukam (quadriceps) was unable to practice Thursday, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
ANALYSIS
Ebukam picked up a quad injury over the 49ers' bye week and was unable to play in Week 10 against the Chargers. The defensive end hasn't been able to practice so far leading up to Week 11, so expect Drake Jackson and Jordan Willis to see increased roles once again if Ebukam's status doesn't improve.
Nov 13, 2022
Unavailable Sunday
Ebukam (quadriceps) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Chargers, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
ANALYSIS
Ebukam was doubtful ahead of Sunday's matchup and will officially be unable to suit up in primetime. Drake Jackson and Jordan Willis are candidates to see increased playing time against the Chargers.
Nov 11, 2022
Unlikely to play Sunday
Ebukam (quadriceps) is considered doubtful to play in Sunday's game against the Chargers, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
ANALYSIS
Ebukam sustained a quad injury Monday coming off the 49ers' bye week and did not practice Wednesday or Thursday as a result. The 27-year-old defensive end did return to practice in a limited fashion Friday, though he may still need more time to fully recover from this issue. If Ebukam cannot play, expect Drake Jackson, Kerry Hyder and Charles Omenihu to all step up into increased roles against the Chargers.
Nov 9, 2022
Suffering from quad injury
Ebukam did not participate in practice Wednesday due to a quad injury.
ANALYSIS
Ebukam was bothered by an Achilles injury through much of October but didn't need to miss any games. He had time to rest during San Francisco's Week 9 bye but picked up a quad injury Monday, per David Lombardi of The Athletic. The severity of the injury is uncertain, but if Ebukam can't play Sunday night against the Chargers, it would be a big blow to San Francisco's defensive line with Arik Armstead (foot) also questionable for the contest.
Oct 28, 2022
No injury designation for Week 8
Ebukam doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's matchup against the Rams, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Ebukam was unable to practice Wednesday due to an Achilles injury he picked up during the team's Week 7 loss to the Chiefs, but he was able to log a limited session Thursday and was upgraded to a full participant Friday. Across seven appearances, the sixth-year defensive end has totaled 26 tackles, 3.5 sacks and one forced fumble across 261 defensive snaps.
Oct 27, 2022
Limited Thursday
Ebukam (Achilles) was limited at practice Thursday, David Lombardi of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
After playing through an injury Sunday against Kansas City, Ebukam was forced to miss practice Wednesday due to an Achilles injury. If the defensive end is able to log a full practice Friday, he should have a good chance to play Sunday against the Rams.
Oct 26, 2022
Misses practice
Ebukam (achilles) did not practice Wednesday, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
ANALYSIS
Ebukam played through his injury in Sunday's game against Atlanta and had been practicing in a limited capacity. It's clear he needs to recover more before suiting up and taking the field for Sunday's game, but he will have two more practice opportunities prior to it.
Oct 21, 2022
Cleared for Week 7
Ebukam (Achilles) does not have an injury designation for Sunday's battle against Kansas City, Matt McMullen of the Chiefs' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Ebukam's Achilles injury first came on the radar last week, but he was able to play this past Sunday against Atlanta. He missed the first practice this week before logging a limited session Thursday and participating in full Friday. The sixth-year veteran is already one sack shy of his career high with 3.5 through six games this season, and he'll try to build upon that Sunday against the Chiefs.
Oct 20, 2022
Back in practice Thursday
Ebukam (Achilles) was listed as a limited participant on the 49ers' injury report Thursday, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Ebukam sat out practice Wednesday with an Achilles injury that first arose following San Francisco's Week 5 win over Carolina. The defensive end was also limited in practice last Thursday and Friday before suiting up against the Falcons on Sunday, so he could be following a similar practice schedule in Week 7. Nevertheless, it will be worth monitoring Ebukam's status on the 49ers' final injury report ahead of this Sunday's contest against Kansas City.
Oct 20, 2022
Still dealing with injury
Ebukam (Achilles) did not participate during the 49ers' practice Wednesday, David Lombardi of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Ebukam was sidelined with an Achilles issue in practice last Wednesday and was a limited participant Wednesday and Friday before playing in Sunday's loss to the Falcons. While he was able to match his season high with 45 defensive snaps played in this contest, the 27-year-old still seems to be working through this injury. Ebukam has now recorded 22 tackles, 3.5 sacks and a forced fumble over six games this season, and he'll have two more practices to improve his status before this Sunday versus the Chiefs.
Oct 17, 2022
Season-high eight tackles in loss
Ebukam totaled eight tackles (five solo), including two tackles for loss, in Sunday's 28-14 loss to Atlanta.
ANALYSIS
Ebukam was limited in practice by an Achilles injury during the week but managed to suit up and put forth a strong performance in the loss. The 27-year-old pass rusher failed to add to his season total of 3.5 sacks but set a single-game season high in tackles while playing a season-high 81 percent of San Francisco's defensive snaps.
Oct 13, 2022
Returns in limited fashion
Ebukam (Achilles) was a limited participant during the 49ers' practice Thursday, David Lombardi of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Ebukam suited up in Week 5 after being listed as questionable due to a hamstring injury, though he did not practice Wednesday due to a new Achilles issue. While the exact nature and severity of this injury are still unclear, the 27-year-old's ability to practice again in any capacity is an encouraging sign for his availability against Atlanta on Sunday. Ebukam has totaled 14 tackles and 3.5 sacks while playing 173 of his 188 snaps on defense this season, and his presence in Week 6 could prove important after fellow pass rusher Nick Bosa (groin) missed his second practice in a row Thursday.
Oct 12, 2022
Doesn't practice Wednesday
Ebukam didn't practice Wednesday due to an Achilles injury, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Ebukam dealt with a hamstring injury ahead of Week 5, but he still suited up and recorded two tackles across a season-high 45 defensive snaps. However, he appears to have picked up an Achilles issue during the contest as well. The extent of the situation remains unclear, but if he doesn't return to practice Thursday or Friday, Ebukam will be in jeopardy of missing Week 6.
Oct 10, 2021
Active for Week 5
Ebukam (hamstring) is active for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Keiana Martin of the 49ers' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Ebukam practiced in limited fashion Friday after missing the first two sessions of the week, but that will be enough for him to suit up Sunday. Through four games this season, he has recorded 12 total tackles.
Oct 9, 2021
Questionable against Cardinals
Ebukam (hamstring) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Cardinals.
ANALYSIS
Ebukam didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday but returned to practice in a limited capacity Friday. Arden Key will likely see additional snaps if the 2017 fourth-rounder is unable to suit up against Arizona.
Oct 6, 2021
Misses practice Wednesday
Ebukam (hamstring) did not participate in the 49ers' practice Wednesday, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
ANALYSIS
Ebukam was forced to miss most of August with a knee injury but he has been relatively healthy for the month of September. The severity of the linebacker's hamstring injury is uncertain at this point, but it's likely Arden Key will fill in Ebukam's depth role if he can't play Sunday at Arizona.
Sep 8, 2021
Off injury report
Ebukam (knee) isn't listed on the 49ers injury report Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Ebukam has been dealing with a knee injury for most of August but he is finally off the injured list ahead of San Francisco's season opener against the Lions. Ebukam will likely fill a depth role in the opener if he remains healthy.
Aug 10, 2021
Nursing knee injury
Ebukam didn't practice Tuesday due to a right knee injury, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Ebukam has been sitting out practice the past few days due to the injury and remained sidelined at Tuesday's session. It's become increasingly unlikely the 26-year-old will be available for Saturday's preseason opener versus the Chiefs.
Aug 8, 2021
Dealing with swelling in leg
Coach Kyle Shanahan said Sunday that Ebukam has been sidelined in practice recently due to swelling in his leg, David Lombardi of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Shanahan compared Ebukam's injury to normal wear and tear that players experience early in training camp, but the team has elected to give him some rest as a precautionary measure. Although the 2017 fourth-rounder doesn't appear to be facing a long-term absence, it's not yet clear whether the injury will impact his availability for Saturday's exhibition game against the Chiefs.

Coach Kyle Shanahan said Sunday that Ebukam has been sidelined in practice recently due to swelling in his leg, David Lombardi of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Shanahan compared Ebukam's injury to normal wear and tear that players experience early in training camp, but the team has elected to give him some rest as a precautionary measure. Although the 2017 fourth-rounder doesn't appear to be facing a long-term absence, it's not yet clear whether the injury will impact his availability for Saturday's exhibition game against the Chiefs.
Aug 6, 2021
Misses practice
Ebukam was sidelined at Friday's practice due to lower body soreness, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Ebukam tallied 4.5 sacks in each of the past two seasons with the Rams before jumping ship to division-rival San Francisco this offseason. He is now looking to secure a role providing depth on the team's defensive line in 2021. His absence from practice due to lower body soreness is not too surprising, as everyone's bodies are adjusting to training camp being in full swing. Still, it would be advantageous for him to return to the field sooner than later.
Mar 15, 2021
Headed to San Fran
Ebukam agreed to a two-year contract worth up to $13.5 million with the 49ers on Monday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
San Francisco got a first-hand look at Ebukam with the NFC West rival Rams over the past four seasons, and the 49ers evidently came away impressed with what the outside linebacker can do. Ebukam totaled 4.5 sacks in each of the past two seasons in Los Angeles, and the Nigerian will likely play in a similar rotational role with his new team.
Feb 11, 2021
Notches 4.5 sacks again
Ebukam managed 31 tackles (18 solo), 4.5 sacks, one pass breakup and one forced fumble across 16 games in 2020.
ANALYSIS
Ebukam has now logged back-to-back seasons with 4.5 sacks. The 25-year-old has been a dependable contributor in Los Angeles' linebacker corps over the last four years, though he's enjoyed a large enough role to carry real fantasy value in IDP leagues. Next, Ebukam is scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent in March.
Nov 24, 2020
Record first full sack
Ebukam had three solo tackles and a sack during Monday's win over the Buccaneers.
ANALYSIS
The 25-year-old brought down Tom Brady during the third quarter for the Rams only sack of the contest. Ebukam has 18 tackles (10 solo) and 1.5 sacks while filling a rotational role through 10 games.
Nov 2, 2020
Quiet campaign continues
Ebukam recorded three tackles (one solo) during Sunday's 28-17 loss to Miami.
ANALYSIS
The fourth-year linebacker has 13 tackles (six solo) through eight games and has played just 37 defensive snaps the past two weeks. Ebukam projects to continue seeing limited opportunities with first-year defensive coordinator Brandon Staley utilizing his defensive backs more frequently. The shift in personnel is cutting into Ebukam's playing time and cratering any fantasy potential he had.
Jan 8, 2020
Finishes with 4.5 sacks
Ebukam had 48 tackles (26 solo), 4.5 sacks, one forced fumble and two fumble recoveries in 16 games this season.
ANALYSIS
The 24-year-old started five games but mostly worked as a rotational edge rusher. Ebukam got off to a slow start and didn't have a sack through Week 11, but he recorded 4.5 sacks over the last six games. Ebukam is under contract for one more season and could see a larger role in 2020 if Dante Fowler goes elsewhere in free agency, though the team could still make an addition at outside linebacker via the draft or free agency.
Sep 4, 2019
Absent from injury report
Ebukam (knee) wasn't on the team's injury report for Wednesday's practice, Lindsey Thiry of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The third-year pro was expected to be worked in slowly this offeseason as he recovered from offseason knee surgery. Now fully healthy, Ebukam is expected to have a role in the defense for 2019, after starting 14 of 16 games at outside linebacker for the Rams last season. Ebukam is listed as a second-string linebacker on the depth chart, but should see time on both defense and special teams for Week 1.
