Notches 151 tackles in 2022 Okereke recorded a career-high 151 tackles (99 solo), five passes defended and two fumble recoveries while playing all 17 games in the 2022 season.

Impact Okereke had more responsibility this regular season with star linebacker Shaquille Leonard (neck/back) sidelined for all but three games. As a result, the 26-year-old Okereke logged his most productive season as a tackler, including five games with double-digit stops. While the 225-pound linebacker did stack up the 10th-most tackles in the league this season, he still finished as the Colts' second-leading tackler behind Zaire Franklin (167). Nevertheless, this career-best campaign should set up Okereke for a solid payday, as he's slated to become an unrestricted free agent this offseason.

Tops career year with huge outing Okereke recorded 17 tackles (12 solo) and one forced fumble in Sunday's 38-10 defeat versus the Giants.

Impact Okereke set new career highs for tackles in both a game and a season, as he has reached 146 over 16 games this season. The fourth-year linebacker stepped up in a big way with star Shaquille Leonard (back) out for most of the year with an injury. Okereke still ranks second on the Colts in tackles this season behind Zaire Franklin (160), and these two should continue to put up big stats so long as the team doesn't rest its starters Week 18 against Houston.

Logs nine tackles in loss Okereke recorded nine tackles (seven solo) in Monday's 20-3 loss to the Chargers.

Impact It is the fourth time this season Okereke logged nine tackles and the third of the four times that six of those tackles were solo. He was able to put that production together across 50 defensive snaps (74 percent). The 26-year-old will look to continue producing in Week 17 when the Colts take on the Giants.

Reaches game-high 12 stops Okereke recorded 12 tackles (six solo) and one pass defensed during Saturday's 39-36 overtime loss to the Vikings.

Impact Okereke continues to produce this season in the tackling department, as his game-high 12 stops versus Minnesota now gives him 120 on the campaign. The 235-pound linebacker also played a season-high 82 snaps this past weekend, but he'll now have until next Monday to rest up before Indianapolis hosts the Chargers.

The 26-year-old Okereke now has 108 tackles, four passes defended, one forced fumble and two fumble recoveries over 13 games this season. He'll look to continue this career-best campaign following Indianapolis' Week 14 bye.
