Steelers' Daniel Ekuale: Hit with five-game suspension
The NFL suspended Ekuale five games Tuesday for violating the league's performance-enhancing drugs policy, Gerry Dulac of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
Ekuale is already out for the remainder of the season after tearing his ACL last month, so he'll just serve the ban while sitting on injured reserve. The 31-year-old defensive lineman appeared in seven games this season, producing six tackles (four solo) and one pass breakup on 72 defensive snaps.

Steelers' Daniel Ekuale: Sent to injured reserve
The Steelers placed Ekuale (knee) on injured reserve Friday.
Ekuale's season is over after he suffered a torn ACL in last Sunday night's loss to the Packers. Keeanu Benton and Yahya Black will see the bulk of the nose-tackle snaps for Pittsburgh. Prior to his injury, Ekuale logged six tackles (four solo) and one pass breakup on 14 percent of the Steelers' defensive snaps.

Steelers' Daniel Ekuale: Suffers torn ACL
Ekuale tore his ACL during the Steelers' 35-25 loss to the Packers on Sunday, Alan Saunders of SteelersNow.com reports.
Ekuale sustained the injury in the first quarter, and further tests revealed a torn ACL that will sideline the veteran defensive tackle for the rest of the 2025 season and could impact his availability for the start of the 2026 campaign. The Steelers could look to add depth to their defensive line via trade, free agency, the waiver wire or the practice squad, but rookie fifth-rounder Yahya Black could also see a significant uptick in defensive snaps. Ekuale will finish the 2025 regular season with six tackles (four solo) and one pass defense over seven games.

Steelers' Daniel Ekuale: Signs with Pittsburgh
Ekuale and the Steelers have agreed on a contract, Alan Saunders of SteelersNow.com reports.
Ekuale will head to Pittsburgh after spending the last two seasons with the Patriots, most recently compiling a career-high 52 total tackles (24 solo), including 1.0 sacks, over 16 regular-season games in 2024. The defensive tackle will likely operate as a depth piece behind Cameron Heyward and Keeanu Benton in 2025.

Patriots' Daniel Ekuale: Career year in 2024
Ekuale recorded 52 total tackles (24 solo), including 1.0 sacks, over 16 games in 2024.
The 31-year-old defensive lineman had the most productive season of his career with New England in 2024, surpassing his previous career high in total tackles by 38. Ekuale also played more than double his previous high for defensive snaps in a season (344 to 693), appearing in all but one of the Patriots' games. He's now set to hit unrestricted free agency after completing the final season of a two-year, $3.4 million deal with New England. Ekuale is expected to be an attractive target on the free-agent market for teams seeking interior defensive line help.

Patriots' Daniel Ekuale: Good to go for Week 12
Ekuale (elbow) was a full practice participant Friday and doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against Miami.
Ekuale started the week with consecutive limited practices, but he finished strong with a full session Friday and will suit up for Sunday's AFC East clash. Ekuale has logged 13 tackles (five solo) over his last three outings since returning from a one-game absence due to an abdomen injury.
