Dolphins' Emmanuel Ogbah: Gets first sack of season
Rotowire
Ogbah recorded three tackles (one solo), including a sack, and an interception in Sunday's 70-20 win versus Denver.
Although he played just 22 defensive snaps in Week 3, Ogbah was able to make a mark on the stat sheet, including logging his first sack of the young 2023 season and the first interception of his career. If he keeps that kind of efficiency up, it's hard to imagine he doesn't get more playing time soon.

Dolphins' Emmanuel Ogbah: Would have played moving forward
Rotowire
Ogbah (triceps) was expected to be cleared to play if the Dolphins advanced in the postseason, Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network reports.
As the Dolphins players cleared out their lockers Monday, Ogbah said that the plan was for him to return from his triceps injury in the AFC divisional round if the the team had beaten Buffalo on Sunday. It appears as if the defensive end should have no issue being ready to go for the start of training camp this summer. Ogbah appeared in nine games in 2022, recording 11 tackles, including one sack.

Dolphins' Emmanuel Ogbah: Done for season
Rotowire
Miami placed Ogbah (triceps) on injured reserve Monday, Daniel Oyefusi of the Miami Herald reports.
Ogbah sustained a ruptured triceps during the Dolphins' win versus Cleveland in Week 9, and he'll now spend the remainder of the 2022 season on the injured reserve list. Ben Stille may be forced into a regular role with Ogbah out.
Ogbah sustained a torn triceps during Sunday's win over the Browns and will require season-ending surgery, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Ogbah exited Sunday's matchup in the first half and will be unavailable for the Dolphins down the stretch. The 29-year-old appeared in eight games for Miami this year and logged 11 tackles (seven solo), including a sack. Zach Sieler is a candidate to see increased playing time over the second half of the season.

Dolphins' Emmanuel Ogbah: Will not return
Rotowire

Dolphins' Emmanuel Ogbah: Exits with injury Sunday
Rotowire
Ogbah (elbow) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Browns.
Ogbah previously missed one game with a back issue Week 9, but he appears to have picked up a new elbow injury Sunday. With the veteran out for the time being, expect Zach Sieler to step up into a bigger role alongside starting defensive linemen Raekwon Davis and Christian Wilkins.

Dolphins' Emmanuel Ogbah: Suiting up in Detroit
Rotowire
Ogbah (back) is active Week 8 against the Lions.
The Dolphins only have five active defensive linemen for their 3-4 scheme, suggesting Ogbah wasn't in much danger of missing this practice despite a questionable tag. The veteran hasn't recorded a sack since Week 1, however, which would put him on pace for a career low in that department.
Ogbah (back) will be a game-time decision to play Sunday versus the Steelers, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Ogbah suffered a back injury in Week 6 against the Vikings and is questionable to play on Sunday Night Football this week. If he can't go, Zach Sieler (hand) could get some extra run, but the Dolphins may have to elevate an extra body from their practice unit.

Dolphins' Emmanuel Ogbah: Questionable to return
Rotowire
Ogbah (back) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Vikings.
Ogbah temporarily went to the Dolphins' locker room before returning to the team's sideline, according to Daniel Oyefusi of the Miami Herald. With the 28-year-old out for the time being, expect Zach Sieler to see increased usage opposite Christian Wilkins.

Dolphins' Emmanuel Ogbah: Secures payday from Dolphins
Rotowire
Ogbah and Miami have agreed to terms on a four-year, $65 million contract, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Ogbah has solidified himself as one of Miami's defensive cornerstones, having served as the team's sack leader in back-to-back seasons. Retaining the 28-year-old defensive end is a notable boost for the Dolphins' defensive prospects in the 2022 campaign, and for the foreseeable future. For Ogbah's part, he now secures the largest contract of his career, which includes $32 million guaranteed.

Dolphins' Emmanuel Ogbah: Brings down Wentz in loss
Rotowire
Ogbah notched four tackles (two solo) and one sack during Sunday's 27-17 loss to the Colts.
Ogbah has 1.5 sacks through the first four weeks of the season, so he'll need to ramp up his pace for any chance of matching last season's nine-sack total. It will be difficult to rely on Ogbah for fantasy purposes Week 5, as the Buccaneers' offensive front should have a clear advantage over Miami's pass rush.

Dolphins' Emmanuel Ogbah: Modest production vs. Bills
Rotowire
Ogbah notched four tackles (one solo) and a half-sack during Sunday's 35-0 loss to the Bills.
Ogbah has just seven total tackles, one pass breakup and a half-sack through the first two weeks of the 2021 campaign. The 27-year-old has never been a reliable weekly starter in IDP fantasy formats, but given that he had a career-high nine sacks last season, it's somewhat disappointing to see him get off to a slow start this year. Ogbah will look to get right in Week 3 versus a Raiders squad that could have Nathan Peterman under center if Derek Carr (ankle) can't go.

Dolphins' Emmanuel Ogbah: Manages nine sacks
Rotowire
Ogbah had 43 tackles (26 solo), nine sacks, five defended passes and three forced fumbles across 16 games in 2020.
Ogbah notched a new career-high in terms of snaps during his inaugural season with the Dolphins, providing exactly the sort of pressure off the edge that the team hoped for when he was signed to a two-year, $15 million contract last March. Though Ogbah's deal includes a potential out this offseason, Miami could certainly opt to keep him in house for 2021 given the quality of his play in 2020.

Dolphins' Emmanuel Ogbah: Two sacks Sunday
Rotowire
Ogbah recorded five tackles (three solo) and two sacks across 53 defensive snaps in Sunday's win over the Jets.
Ogbah was a menace on the field Sunday, including a sack that resulted in a 28-yard loss. He now has five sacks on the year including four in the past three games. He is only playing in around 65 percent of the defensive snaps this season but could see an uptick if his high level of play continues.

Ogbah had five tackles (three solo) and one sack during Sunday's 31-23 loss to the Seahawks.
Ogbah had logged back-to-back games with a half-sack prior to Sunday's contest, bringing his total for the season to two sacks through four games. He'll look to keep up his momentum against a San Francisco squad that could get Jimmy Garoppolo (ankle) back in the lineup Week 5.

Dolphins' Emmanuel Ogbah: Cleared from injury
Rotowire
Ogbah (pectoral) said Thursday that he's been cleared to resume workouts, Cameron Wolfe of ESPN.com reports.
Ogbah missed the final six games of the 2019 regular season with Kansas City due to a torn pectoral injury he suffered Week 10. The 26-year-old has been a consistent threat in the pass rush since coming into the league in 2016, earning 18 sacks over 50 career games. Now healthy, he's one of a few offseason additions for the Dolphins in a defensive overhaul heading into 2020.

Chiefs' Emmanuel Ogbah: Waiting for MRI confirmation
Rotowire
The Chiefs are waiting for the MRI results to confirm Ogbah tore his right pectoral muscle, Nate Taylor of The Athletic reports.
If this injury is confirmed, Ogbah will be ruled out for the season. Houston's J.J. Watt suffered the same injury two weeks ago and is expected to be ready for the 2020 season, so the Chiefs hope Ogbah can receive a similar prognosis. Frank Clark, Tanoh Kpassagnon and Alex Okafor (ankle) are the team's remaining defensive ends. Ogbah tied his career high with 5.5 sacks through 10 games.

Chiefs' Emmanuel Ogbah: Notches sack in Chiefs debut
Rotowire
Ogbah recorded three tackles (two solo) and one sack during Sunday's 40-26 win over the Jaguars.
Ogbah was effective in Sunday's season opener, serving as a rotational pass rusher and complement to Alex Okafor and Frank Clark. The 25-year-old should be locked into a similar role going forward, making him a sack-dependent fantasy option in most IDP formats.

Ogbah (oblique) is participating at Monday's practice, Brooke Pryor of The Kansas City Star reports.
Ogbah left Sunday's practice early due to the oblique injury, but his quick return to the practice field indicates it was a minor issue. The 25-year-old should be available for Saturday's preseason opener against the Bengals, assuming he avoids a setback.

Chiefs' Emmanuel Ogbah: Dealt to Kansas City
Rotowire
The Browns traded Ogbah to the Chiefs on Monday in exchange for Eric Murray, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
The 32nd overall pick from the 2016 NFL Draft started each of his 40 games in three seasons for the Browns, recording 122 tackles (70 solo), 12.5 sacks and 17 passes defensed. While his pass-rushing skill never progressed after a 5.5-sack rookie campaign, Ogbah at least proved to be a solid run defender with a propensity for batting down throws. He became expandable after the Browns traded for Olivier Vernon, while the Chiefs have an obvious need for an edge rusher after losing Dee Ford and Justin Houston earlier this offseason. Ogbah likely will handle one of the starting spots at defensive end as the Chiefs transition to a 4-3 scheme under new coordinator Steve Spagnuolo.
