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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 • 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.

Registers two more sacks Ojulari tallied seven tackles (three solo), including 2.0 sacks, in Monday's loss to Pittsburgh.

Impact Ojulari tied for third on New York in tackles with a season-high total. The edge rusher has been a force since taking over in a starting role Week 6 for Kayvon Thibodeaux, who is on IR due to a wrist injury. Ojulari has has racked up 14 tackles, including 5.0 sacks, over the three-game span, which could either lead to a continued significant role even upon Thibodeaux's eventual return or a spike in his trade value if New York elects to shop him.

Posts two sacks sans Thibodeaux Ojulari registered four tackles (two solo), including 2.0 sacks, Sunday in a Week 6 loss to Cincinnati.

Impact Kayvon Thibodeaux was placed on injured reserve with a wrist injury Saturday, opening the door for Ojulari to get more work. The 24-year-old Ojulari logged a season-high 77 percent of New York's defensive snaps Sunday and came through with two of the team's four sacks in the contest. Ojulari should continue to receiving a healthy workload while Thibodeaux is out of action, and the former showed Sunday that he could be a force as a pass rusher when given the opportunity.
