Assists on four tackles in win Odighizuwa recorded four tackles in Thursday's 31-28 win over the Chiefs.

Impact The defensive tackle also played on 59 percent of the defensive snaps. Odighizuwa has played on more than half of the defensive snaps in every game this season, recording 34 total tackles (13 solo), including 3.0 sacks.

Limited Tuesday Odighizuwa (elbow) was limited in Tuesday's practice, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

Impact Odighizuwa was DNP at Monday's walkthrough, so the limited session gives him a good chance to play Thursday against the Chiefs. The 27-year-old defensive lineman has enjoyed a productive 2025 season, registering 30 tackles (13 solo), including 3.0 sacks, and a whopping 16 QB hits on 459 defensive snaps across 11 appearances.

Dealing with elbow injury Odighizuwa (elbow) did not participate in Monday's walkthrough practice, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

Impact Odighizuwa likely suffered the injury during Dallas' 24-21 overtime win over Philadelphia on Sunday, when he recorded four tackles, including 1.0 sacks and four quarterback hits. He'll have two more chances to return to practice ahead of Thursday's game against the Chiefs, but if he's unable to play, then Kenny Clark and Solomon Thomas would be slated for more snaps at defensive tackle alongside Quinnen Williams.

Sack in second straight game Odighizuwa recorded four tackles, including 1.0 sacks, and four QB hits in Sunday's 24-21 win over the Eagles.

Impact The addition of Quinnen Williams at the trade deadline has injected some life into the entire Dallas defense, and Odighizuwa has been one of the biggest beneficiaries. The fifth-year defensive tackle has a sack in each of Williams' first two games as a Cowboy after managing just one through the first nine games this season. Williams, Odighizuwa and Kenny Clark have seen roughly equal workloads during those two weeks, sometimes even being on the field together as part of a five-man front, and that consistent pressure up the middle is paying dividends -- the trio has combined for 4.0 sacks in those two contests, both Dallas wins.
