Ogunjobi is expected to sign a three-year deal with the Steelers in which he will earn $21.75 million over the first two years of the deal, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Ogunjobi played 615 snaps for the Steelers last year, the fewest he's played in a season since 2017. However, his production remained stable, as he recorded between 46 and 52 tackles in each of the last five years. Despite his consistency as a tackler, his 1.5 sacks represented his lowest total since his rookie year. He should retain a significant snap share as a starter, but expect him to play in a rotation again.

Larry Ogunjobi: Completes visit with Jets
Rotowire
Ogunjobi (foot) spent time over the last two days on a free-agency visit with New York, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Ogunjobi is looking for a new team to sign with this offseason after his previous three-year, $40.5 million deal with Chicago fell through due to a failed physical in March. The sixth-year defensive tackle failed this test due to issues with his surgically repaired right foot but should still be a desirable free agent for teams around the league in need of a starting-caliber run stopper. Ogunjobi accumulated 49 tackles and a career-high seven sacks over 16 games with the Bengals before suffering a foot injury in the team's wild-card round win over the Raiders in last season's playoffs.

Bengals' Larry Ogunjobi: Activated off COVID-19 list
Rotowire
Ogunjobi (undisclosed) was activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list Monday.
Ogunjobi was sidelined for the final week of the regular season, but he's expected to return for the wild-card matchup against the Raiders on Saturday. He's played at least 58 percent of the Bengals' defensive snaps in every game this season, so he should provide a big boost to Cincinnati's defense.

Bengals' Larry Ogunjobi: Instrumental in win
Rotowire
Ogunjobi had 1.5 sacks and seven QB pressures in the Bengals' win over the Ravens.
The Bengals' DL got after Lamar Jackson all day, sacking him five times and pressuring him over 30 times. Sam Hubbard and Trey Hendrickson, but Ogunjobi deserves a ton of praise for his play in Week 7. It won't always register in his fantasy stats (25 tackles, 2.5 sacks so far), but he plays a big part in the Bengals' interior line.

Bengals' Larry Ogunjobi: Registers six tackles
Rotowire
Ogunjobi made six tackles (four solo) and a sack in Sunday's 27-24 overtime win over the Vikings.
Ogunjobi played 59 defensive snaps (71 percent) during the season opener. His six stops would've been a season high in 2020 when he was with the Browns. The 27-year-old defensive tackle could provide some IDP upside this season, especially if he can keep getting to the quarterback. He could have a good chance against Chicago's putrid offensive line in Week 2.

Rotowire
The Bengals placed Ogunjobi on the PUP list Wednesday with a hamstring injury, Jay Morrison of The Athletic reports.
Head coach Zac Taylor described Ogubjobi as day-to-day, but because hamstring injuries can be tricky, the team will likely play it safe with the veteran defensive tackle. Cincinnati will open preseason play Aug. 14 against the Buccaneers.

Browns' Larry Ogunjobi: Won't practice Wednesday
Rotowire
Ogunjobi (ankle) will not practice Wednesday, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.
Coach Kevin Stefanski said that he expects Ogunjobi back at practice Thursday, so it doesn't appear that the starting defensive lineman's Week 12 availability is in serious jeopardy. With Myles Garrett (illness) already ruled out for Sunday's game in Jacksonville, an absence by Ogunjobi would be even more impactful for Cleveland's run defense than usual.

Browns' Larry Ogunjobi: Collects another sack
Rotowire
Ogunjobi notched one solo tackle -- his fifth sack of the season -- during Thursday's 21-7 win over the Steelers.
Ogunjobi is now just a half sack away from matching the career-best mark he recorded in 2018, and the Browns may be counting on him to lead their pass rush moving forward. With eight seconds remaining in Thursday's contest, star defensive end Myles Garrett incited a skirmish between the two teams after swinging a helmet at Steelers quarterback Mason Rudolph's unprotected head. Ogunjobi proceeded to push Rudolph to the ground in the ensuing fight, with the defensive tackle, Garrett and Steelers center Maurkice Pouncey all getting ejected from the contest. Garrett will almost certainly be facing a lengthy suspension -- perhaps for the rest of the season -- for his actions, but Ogunjobi's fate is less certain. Expect the NFL to dole out punishment for Garrett and potentially others involved in the fight within the next few days.

Browns' Larry Ogunjobi: Suiting up Week 16
Rotowire
Ogunjobi (biceps) is active Sunday against the Bengals.
Ogunjobi has yet to miss a game all season, and he won't let Week 16 be his first time on the sidelines. He went through a similar practice routine last week with back-to-back limited sessions before ultimately suiting up, suggesting he would be in line to resume his regular role as a starting defensive tackle. With Carl Davis (coach's decision) inactive for the contest, Ogunjobi will be part of a three-man DT rotation that also includes Trevon Coley and Brian Price.
