Giants' CJ Okoye: Traded to New York
The Ravens traded Okoye to the Giants in exchange for a 2028 seventh-round pick Saturday, Ian Rapoport of ESPN and NFL Network reports.
The Nigerian player who signed with the Ravens through the International Player Pathway Program in 2025 was not set to make the team's 53-man roster this time around. Okoye will now be reunited with former head coach John Harbaugh and former defensive line coach Dennis Johnson in New York. While Okoye was not set to make the Ravens' roster, he will likely provide a good depth presence for the Giants' 3-4 defense throughout the regular season.

Ravens' CJ Okoye: Signed to Ravens' active roster
The Ravens signed Okoye from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday.
Okoye joined the Ravens' practice squad in late August after failing to make the team's 53-man roster at the end of training camp. He was elevated from the practice squad twice and logged seven tackles (five solo) across two games. With Nnamdi Madubuike (neck) and Broderick Washington (ankle) both on injured reserve, Okoye's addition to the active roster gives the Ravens much-needed depth on the defensive line.

Chargers' CJ Okoye: Suffers apparent elbow injury
Okoye is questionable to return to Friday's preseason game after suffering an elbow injury.
Okoye seemed to injure his right elbow and is being checked out on the sidelines, per Daniel Popper of The Athletic. The defensive tackle signed with Los Angeles this offseason as a part of the International Player Pathway Program. Okoye recorded his first sack in an organized game of football this preseason and is fighting to make the Chargers' active roster as a depth piece on their defensive line. The extent of his injury is unknown at the moment.
