Staying in NFC East Ojulari (toe) signed a one-year, $4.5 million deal with the Eagles on Monday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Ojulari, a 2021 second-round pick from Georgia, spent the first four years of his career with the Giants before signing with the Eagles on Monday. A torn ligament in his big toe sidelined him for New York's final six games of the 2024 season, but he was productive when healthy, recording 28 total tackles, including 6.0 sacks, across 380 defensive snaps. Injuries have been a concern throughout Ojulari's career, as he's missed 22 games over the past three seasons. However, he's still managed 22.0 sacks over the past four years and will likely serve as a rotational edge rusher for the Eagles in 2025.

Toe injury won't require surgery Ojulari sustained a ruptured ligament in his big toe in Week 12 versus the Buccaneers, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.

Impact Although it kept Ojulari out for the final six games of this season, it doesn't look like the injury to his toe will have any impact on how he begins the new league year in 2025. He is set to become an unrestricted free agent this offseason.

Cowboys set for Thanksgiving visit from Giants after ending 5-game losing streak

The Dallas Cowboys go into their annual Thanksgiving Day home game against the New York Giants coming off a victory in Washington that ended a five-game losing streak

NOVEMBER 27, 2024 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Officially placed on IR The Giants placed Ojulari (toe) on injured reserve Tuesday, Matt Citak of the team's official site reports.

Impact Ojulari will be forced to miss the Giants' next four regular-season games due to a toe injury he suffered against the Buccaneers this past Sunday. The earliest Ojulari can return is Week 17 against Indianapolis on Sunday, Dec. 29. In the 10 regular-season games prior to his injury, the 2021 second-round pick logged 28 tackles (12 solo), including 6.0 sacks, and one fumble recovery.

NOVEMBER 26, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Set to go on injured reserve Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reported Tuesday that the Giants are planning on placing Ojulari (toe) on injured reserve.

Impact Ojulari suffered a toe injury during the Giants' 30-7 loss to the Buccaneers on Sunday. The injury isn't severe enough to require surgery, but the 24-year-old linebacker will be sidelined for multiple weeks and will wear a walking boot to aide the healing process. Should he be placed on injured reserve before Thursday's game against the Cowboys, the earliest Ojulari would be allowed to return from IR would be Week 17 against the Colts on Sunday, Dec. 29. Patrick Johnson will be the Giants' rotational outside linebacker behind starters Brian Burns and Kayvon Thibodeaux due to Ojulari's injury.

NOVEMBER 26, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Still not practicing Tuesday Ojulari (toe) did not participate at the Giants' walkthrough practice Tuesday, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.

Impact Ojulari suffered a toe injury during Sunday's game versus the Buccaneers, and he hasn't been able to practice yet ahead of Week 13. If he's not able to manage a full practice first, he'll likely carry an injury designation into Thursday.

NOVEMBER 26, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Sidelined to start week Ojulari (toe) was listed as a non-participant on Monday's practice report, Ralph Vacchiano of Fox Sports reports.

Impact Ojulari suffered the injury in Sunday's game against the Buccaneers and was unable to finish the contest. With the Giants playing the Cowboys on Thanksgiving, the team is on a short week, which will limit the Georgia product's recovery time and may not bode well for his chances to play. He'll work to get back on the practice field though Tuesday or Wednesday.

NOVEMBER 25, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Won't return vs. Tampa Bay Ojulari (toe) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Colts, Ralph Vacchiano of Fox Sports reports.

Impact Ojulari went to the locker room after suffering a toe injury and will not return to Sunday's game. With Ojulari done for the day, Kayvon Thibodeaux, Brian Burns and Patrick Johnson will all see an uptick in snaps at outside linebacker.

NOVEMBER 24, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable to return Sunday Ojulari (toe) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Impact The linebacker did not record a stat before exiting. Ojulari has 28 tackles (12 solo), including 6.0 sacks, and a fumble recovery in 2024. The edge rusher was reduced to more of a rotational role Sunday with Kayvon Thibodeaux back from his wrist injury after a five-game absence.
