Signs with hometown team Ojulari is slated to sign a one-year deal with the Falcons, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Impact Ojulari is an Atlanta native, and the Falcons are looking to bring the veteran edge rusher home. The 25-year-old played in just three regular-season games for the Eagles last year, totalling 67 defensive snaps. The number of defensive snaps Ojulari gets to see in 2026 is likely tied to the result of James Pearce's standing battery charges and what other moves the Falcons make around the outside linebacker unit.
MARCH 11 • ROTOWIRE
Won't face 49ers Ojulari (hamstring) was not activated from injured reserve Saturday and will not play in Sunday's wild-card game against the 49ers, per the NFL transaction log.
Impact Ojulari hasn't played since Week 7, but he logged full practices throughout the week. If the Eagles advance to the divisional round, he seemingly has a good chance to return.
JANUARY 11 • ROTOWIRE
Questionable but still on IR Ojulari (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's wild-card round game against the 49ers.
Impact Ojulari would need to be activated from injured reserve in order to suit up Sunday, but he has looked promising in practice after having his return window opened Wednesday, as he practiced without limitations Friday. If given clearance to play, Ojulari would likely work in a depth role after being limited to three appearances during the regular season.
JANUARY 9 • ROTOWIRE
Eagles open practice window for Azeez Ojulari Ojulari has missed the last 10 games with a hamstring injury.
JANUARY 7 • PHILADELPHIAEAGLES.COM
Returning from IR The Eagles designated Ojulari (hamstring) to return from injured reserve Wednesday.
Impact Ojulari played in just three games this season, totalling 67 defensive snaps for six tackles, including two solo tackles. The weakside linebacker was a healthy scratch to start the season, but with Jaelan Phillips (ankle) questionable for Sunday's wild-card contest against the 49ers, Ojulari is primed to provide perfect depth for the Eagles' defense. The 25-year-old will have three practices to dodge any injury designation and prove he should be activated for Sunday's contest.
JANUARY 7 • ROTOWIRE
Placed on IR Ojulari (hamstring) was placed on injured reserve Saturday.
Impact Ojulari was a healthy scratch to begin the season and then suffered a hamstring injury in Week 7. He missed Week 8 with the issue and will now be sidelined until at least Week 14.

OCTOBER 23, 2025 • Associated Press
Unable to practice Wednesday Ojulari (hamstring) did not participate at practice Wednesday.
Impact Ojulari left the field during the first half in Week 7 at Minnesota after suffering a hamstring injury, and now it seems likely he'll have to sit out Week 8 action entirely. Unless he can somehow get back in pads for practice Thursday or Friday, Joshua Uche will be expected to take over Ojulari's starting role on the edge Sunday versus the Giants.

Not expected to play Week 8 Ojulari (hamstring) isn't expected to be available for Philadelphia's matchup versus the Giants on Sunday, Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports reports.
Impact Ojulari is still recovering from the hamstring injury that forced him to exit in the first half of the Week 7 win over the Vikings. In his absence, Joshua Uche, Patrick Johnson and Brandon Graham, who came out of retirement Tuesday, could all see increased playing time. Ojulari will have the team's Week 9 bye week to get healthy and will look to make his return the following week versus Green Bay.

Won't return vs. Minnesota Ojulari (hamstring) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Vikings, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Impact Ojulari sustained the injury in the first half, which has been deemed severe enough for him to not return to Sunday's game. The Eagles are down to Jalyx Hunt, Joshua Uche and Patrick Johnson as their options at outside linebacker due to Ojulari's injury.
OCTOBER 19, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Suffers injury first half Ojulari (hamstring) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Vikings.
Impact Ojulari appears to have suffered a hamstring injury in the first half of Sunday's game, but is being evaluated to see whether he can return. The 25-year-old was expected to play a larger role on the defensive side of the ball with Nolan Smith (triceps) and Ogbo Okoronkwo (triceps) both on IR, and Zadarius Smith retiring Monday. The Eagles are left with Joshua Uche should Ojulari remains out.

Cleared to make Philly debut Ojulari is active for Sunday's game against the Broncos, Zach Berman of The Athletic reports.
Impact Ojulari signed a one-year, $4.5 million deal with the Eagles this offseason, but he was a healthy scratch for the first four weeks of 2025. With Nolan Smith (triceps) and Ogbo Okoronkwo (triceps) both on IR, Ojulari could be a key piece of Philadelphia's pass-rush rotation over the next couple of weeks. Ojulari had six sacks in 11 games with the Giants last season, his most since tallying eight during his rookie season in 2021.
