Ojemudia signed with the Cowboys on Monday, the team's official website reports.
A third-round pick in 2020, Ojemudia's last NFL action came in 2022 with the Bears, when he was coached by current Dallas defensive coordinator Matt Eberflus. Ojemudia is coming off a strong UFL campaign this spring that saw him record 20 tackles and one interception over nine regular-season games for the eventual champions, the DC Defenders. Even in an injury-plagued Cowboys secondary though, the 27-year-old faces an uphill battle to win a roster spot.
Bears' Michael Ojemudia: Plays primarily on special teams

Ojemudia didn't post a tackle in the Bears' 29-13 loss to the Vikings in Week 18 and ended the season with no statistics over two games played.
Ojemudia was signed by the Bears ahead of Week 17 after spending time with the Broncos earlier in the season. While with Denver, he played two defensive snaps and 23 snaps on special teams. He's under contract with the team through the 2023 season, and he'll likely compete for a roster spot in training camp.
The Bears have claimed Ojemudia off waivers, Larry Mayer of the team's official website reports.
Ojemudia has been with the Broncos since being drafted in 2020 in the third-round of the NFL Draft. He had played in just three games with them this season before ultimately getting waived earlier this week. The third-year cornerback will now add depth to Chicago's secondary.

Michael Ojemudia: Done in Denver
Rotowire
The Broncos waived Ojemudia on Tuesday, Mike Klis of 9News Denver reports.
The 2020 third-rounder has dealt with injuries almost constantly since his rookie season, and his only having played two defensive snaps this year probably factored into Denver's decision to part ways with him. Presuming he's not claimed by another team during the current waiver period, Ojemudia is set to become an unrestricted free agent.
