AZEEZ OJULARI NEWS

SEPTEMBER 22, 2022 • GIANTS.COM

Logs another limited session Ojulari (calf) was listed as a limited participant on the Giants' practice report Thursday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Impact Ojulari missed the Giants' first two games with a calf injury he sustained in August, but his ability to practice in a limited capacity combined with an extra day of rest could just be enough for him to suit up Monday against the Cowboys. With teammates Leonard Williams (knee) and Kayvon Thibodeaux (knee) also listed as questionable for Week 3, Jihad Ward, Nick Williams and Justin Ellis are all candidates for a heavier workload if any of New York's primary pass rushers are eventually ruled out.

Unable to go Ojulari (calf) is inactive Sunday against the Panthers, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Impact Ojulari was considered doubtful coming into Sunday, as he was limited in practice all week. In his absence, Jihad Ward figures to see increased opportunity.

Doubtful for Sunday Ojulari (calf) is doubtful for Sunday's game against the Panthers.

Impact Ojulari was a limited participant at practice all week and likely won't make his season debut in Week 2. The 2021 second-round pick emerged into a prominent role at defensive end early on as a rookie, recording 49 tackles and eight sacks last season, so his absence has been a blow to the Giants defense. Rookie first-round pick Kayvon Thibodeaux (knee) is also doubtful, so Jihad Ward and Oshane Ximines are expected to be starters for a second straight week.

Still limited Wednesday Ojulari (calf) was listed as a limited participant during the Giants' practice Wednesday.

Impact Ojulari was ruled inactive ahead of the Giants' season opener on Sunday after he was limited with a lingering calf injury during the previous week of practice. The 2021 second-round pick emerged into a prominent role at defensive end early on as a rookie, recording 49 tackles and eight sacks while starting 13 of 17 games last season. Should Ojulari and 2022 first-round pick Kayvon Thibodeaux (knee) both sit out for the second-straight game in Week 2, then veterans Jihad Ward and Nick Williams will likely once again see increased usage along the Giants' defensive front.
