Officially active for Week 11 Ojulari (knee) is active for Sunday's game against the 49ers, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Impact The Cardinals activated Ojulari from the PUP list Saturday, and the 2023 second-rounder has been officially cleared to make his 2025 debut Sunday. He has fully recovered from a torn ACL that he suffered in August of 2024. Ojulari's return gives the Cardinals an extra contributor on special teams and added depth at linebacker.

Activated from PUP list The Cardinals activated Ojulari (knee) from the reserve/PUP list Saturday, but he is still listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the 49ers, Darren Urban of the Cardinals...

Impact Ojulari has been recovering from a torn ACL that he suffered in August of 2024. While he's still listed as questionable for Week 11, his activation indicates that he should be available to make his 2025 debut in Sunday's NFC West tilt. His return will boost a Cardinals linebacker corps that are without Baron Browning (concussion) and Mack Wilson (ribs - IR).

NOVEMBER 15, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable to make 2025 debut Ojulari (knee) is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's game versus the 49ers, Zach Gershman of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Impact Ojulari has spent more than a year rehabbing after tearing his ACL back in August of 2024, and now there's a chance he could be activated from Arizona's PUP list for Week 11. He was only able to manage limited participation at practice during the week, however, so the Cardinals may opt to take a more cautious approach in what is looking like it could be a lost season anyways.

NOVEMBER 15, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Limited in Thursday's practice Ojulari (knee) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Zach Gershman of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Impact Ojulari's practice participation has been limited since his 21-day window to return from injured reserve opened late October. He is recovering from a torn ACL, MCL and lateral meniscus in his left knee that he suffered in August of 2024, and he'll likely need to log full practices before being activated from injured reserve.

NOVEMBER 14, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Remains limited Ojulari (knee) was estimated to be a limited practice participant Wednesday, Zach Gershman of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Impact Ojulari is recovering from a torn ACL and has been practicing since late October while remaining on the PUP list. He should have a chance to return in Week 11 against the 49ers, though he may need to upgrade to full practice participation first.

NOVEMBER 13, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Staying on PUP list Ojulari (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Seahawks, Tyler Drake of ArizonaSports.com reports.

Impact Ojulari was limited in practice all week, and he hasn't progressed enough in his recovery for the Cardinals to activate the 2023 second-rounder from the PUP list. He is in the final stages of his recovery from multiple ligament tears in his left knee that caused him to miss the entire 2024 campaign. Ojulari would be in line to make his 2025 debut in Week 11 against the 49ers on Sunday, Nov. 16 if he were to log full practices.

NOVEMBER 8, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Limited at walkthrough Ojulari (knee) was estimated to be a limited participant at Wednesday's walkthrough, Zach Gershman of the Cardinals' official website reports.

Impact Ojulari was unable to make his return to action in Week 9 after missing the entirety of the season to this point while recovering from multiple ligament tears in his left knee that he suffered in August 2024. The linebacker had his 21-day practice window opened last week, and he was able to log a series of limited practices. Ojulari will have two more chances to practice in a full capacity before Sunday's contest against the Seahawks.

NOVEMBER 3, 2025 • RAISINGZONA.COM

Ruled out for Week 9 Ojulari (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Monday's game against the Cowboys.

Impact After logging limited practices all week, Ojulari will not play in Monday night's game against the Cowboys. The Cardinals opened his 21-day practice window Thursday as he continues to work his way back from the ACL, MCL, and lateral meniscus tears he suffered in August 2024. Ojulari's next chance to return to the field will be in the Cardinals' Week 10 matchup against the Seahawks on Nov. 9.

NOVEMBER 2, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Limited in return to practice Ojulari (knee) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.

Impact The Cardinals opened Ojulari's 21-day practice window Thursday and was limited in his first practice of the season. The 2023 second-rounder tallied 40 tackles, including 4.0 sacks, across 17 regular-season games during his rookie year, but he was sidelined for his entire sophomore campaign after tearing his ACL in August of 2024. Ojulari will be in line to suit up for the Cardinals once he's been activated from IR, but he'll have to log full practices before Arizona makes that move.

OCTOBER 30, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Returning to practice Ojulari (knee - ACL) is slated to resume practicing Thursday, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Impact Ojulari is still on the reserve/PUP list as he continues to work his way back from the ACL tear he suffered in August of 2024, but the opening of his 21-day practice window suggests that he's near the end of his recovery. It remains to be seen when he'll be ready for game action, though he'll need to be activated before the closing of the practice window in order to be able to play in games this season. Once he's ready to suit up, Ojulari should provide a boost to the Cardinals' pass rush.

OCTOBER 30, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Sidelined until October Ojulari (knee) was moved to the reserve/PUP list by the Cardinals on Tuesday, Darren Urban of the team's official website reports.

Impact Ojulari has been working his way back from a torn ACL that he suffered in training camp in 2024, and he will now be forced to miss at least four games to open the 2025 season. In his absence, Baron Browning will operate as the primary backup option behind Zaven Collins at strongside linebacker.

Uncertain for Week 1 Ojulari (knee) is progressing well, but Cardinals head coach Jonathan Gannon wasn't ready Saturday to commit to the defensive end being ready for Week 1 of the regular season, Theo...

Impact Ojulari is currently on the PUP list as he works his way back from the torn ACL he suffered in training camp last August. While multiple reports have indicated Ojulari is doing well in his recovery, it's not a guarantee that he'll be ready for Week 1. The 2023 second-round draft pick recorded 4.0 sacks over 17 regular-season games in a promising rookie campaign.

AUGUST 3, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Still recovering Ojulari (knee) was placed on the active/PUP list Wednesday, Zach Gershman of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Impact Ojulari tore his ACL in training camp one year ago. He was reportedly close to returning to the practice field during offseason practices, so his stay on the PUP list will presumably be short.

Cardinals rookie 1st-round pick DL Walter Nolen III will 'miss some time' because of a calf injury

Arizona Cardinals rookie Walter Nolen III has a calf injury and is expected to miss some time, according to coach Jonathan Gannon

JULY 23, 2025 • Associated Press

Progressing in recovery Ojulari (knee) is close to practicing again after tearing his ACL in training camp last August, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Impact Arizona coach Jonathan Gannon said Ojulari is progressing in his rehab while taking on a "one-day-at-a-time mindset," per Urban. The defensive end is unlikely to return before training camp, but if he can get back by then, he can compete for a role in 2025. A 2023 second-round pick, Ojulari recorded 40 tackles, including 4.0 sacks, on 394 defensive snaps across 17 regular-season games as a rookie.
