Emmanuel Ogbah - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Cut by Chiefs The Chiefs released Ogbah on Sunday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Impact Ogbah signed with the team earlier this month to compete for a depth role but was ultimately unable to catch on. The 32-year-old spent the 2025 season with the Jaguars, recording 15 tackles (six solo), including 0.5 sacks, and will now look for a new opportunity elsewhere.

Reunites with Kansas City Ogbah signed a one-year contract with the Chiefs on Tuesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Impact Ogbah was part of the Chiefs' roster in 2019 and contributed to the team's run to Super Bowl LIV. He has 10 NFL seasons under his belt and appeared in 13 regular-season games for the Jaguars in 2025, when he logged 15 tackles (six solo), including 0.5 sacks, and one pass defense. Ashton Gillotte (hamstring) has been sidelined for the past two weeks of training camp, so Ogbah will have the opportunity to compete for a rotational role at defensive end behind starters George Karlaftis and Felix Anudike-Uzomah.

Signs with Jacksonville The Jaguars signed Ogbah to a one-year deal Sunday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Impact Ogbah will head to Jacksonville after spending the past five seasons in Miami where he racked up a combined 29.0 sacks. The 31-year-old could add value as a rotational pass rusher behind starters Josh Hines-Allen and Travon Walker during the 2025 campaign.

Five sacks in 2024 Ogbah finished the 2024 regular season with 49 tackles (27 solo), including 5.0 sacks, two pass defenses (including one interception) and one forced fumble across 16 games.

Impact Ogbah tied veteran Calais Campbell for third-most sacks on the Dolphins behind Zach Sieler (10) and Chop Robinson (six). Ogbah has logged 5.0 sacks in back-to-back seasons, and his 49 combined tackles were his most since his rookie year in 2016 with the Browns (53). Ogbah enters the offseason as an unrestricted free agent and should draw plenty of interest from teams looking for veteran pass rusher.

Sacks DTR in Week 17 victory Ogbah finished Sunday's 20-3 win over the Browns with five tackles (four solo), including 1.0 sacks, and one forced fumble.

Impact Ogbah sacked Dorian Thompson-Robinson midway through the third quarter of Sunday's game, stripping the ball in the process that was recovered by Da'Shawn Hand. It was Ogbah's first credited sack since Week 12 against the Patriots, and the 2016 second-round pick is up to 4.5 sacks through 15 regular-season games.

Impact Ogbah practiced in a limited fashion both Wednesday and Thursday, but he upgraded to a full workload Friday, suggesting he's moved past his biceps injury in time for Sunday's contest. Expect the 30-year-old to start opposite Chop Robinson as part of the Dolphins' top edge rushing duo in Week 8.

Limited to open week Ogbah (biceps) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Impact Despite logging three limited practice sessions last week, Ogbah was inactive for the Dolphins' Week 7 game against the Colts. Given that, he may need to increase his practice participation over the next two days in order to avoid an injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Cardinals. Through the first five games of the regular season, Ogbah has tallied 18 tackles (12 solo), including 2.0 sacks, and one interception.

Impact Ogbah has been limited at practice all week due to a biceps injury. He was tagged as questionable ahead of Sunday's contest, but he will have to observe the game in street clothes, and his next chance at suiting up will be against the Cardinals on Oct. 27. Tyus Bowser will likely get the start at linebacker alongside David Long, Jordyn Brooks and Chop Robinson.

Ogbah is up to 18 tackles (12 solo), including the 2.0 sacks, five QB hits and one interception through five contests.
