  • Cardinals' BJ Ojulari: Shifts to IR

    The Cardinals placed Ojulari (knee) on injured reserve Monday, Darren Urban of the team's official site reports.

    Ojulari tore his left ACL two days ago, so his move to Arizona's IR is no surprise. The 2023 second-round pick out of LSU had a solid rookie campaign, recording 40 total tackles, including 4.0 sacks, and one pass defended across 17 regular-season games (394 defensive snaps). With Ojulari missing the entire coming season, expect 2024 first-round pick Darius Robinson to see more first-team reps as the preseason unfolds.

  • Cardinals' BJ Ojulari: Suffers ACL tear

    Ojulari is set to miss the entire 2024 season after tearing the ACL in his left knee at Friday's practice, Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network reports.

    This is a tough break for Ojulari, who was slated to be one of the Cardinals' top pass rushers in the upcoming season and start opposite Zaven Collins at defensive end. However, he will now miss his entire sophomore campaign and focus on rehabbing his knee instead. As a result, Dante Stills and Darius Robinson figure to be prime candidates to compete for the newly available snaps in the trenches. Xavier Thomas and Cameron Thomas could also earn bigger roles on the edge.

  • Cardinals' BJ Ojulari: Adds weight, looking improved

    Ojulari has added 10 pounds and focused on shortening his stride this offseason, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN reports.

    Ojulari, a 2023 second-round pick, was sidelined until training camp as a rookie due to hamstring and knee injuries, making this his first fully healthy offseason. Now, Ojulari will need to compete for a sizeable role in Arizona's crowded outside linebacker rotation in order to build on a rookie campaign in which he tallied 40 tackles (32 solo), 4.0 sacks and one pass breakup across 17 games. With a larger snap share in Year 2, Ojulari will be a sleeper candidate to make the leap to IDP fantasy relevance.

  • Cardinals' BJ Ojulari: Breaks out Week 10

    Ojulari logged eight total tackles (four solo), including two tackles for loss and two sacks in Sunday's 25-23 win over the Falcons.

    The 2023 second-round pick seems to be finding his groove in the NFL, as he's recorded 14 of his 20 total tackles and all three of his sacks on the year over the last three weeks. Even after Ojulari's slow start, he's still only two sacks behind Dennis Gardeck for the Cardinals' sack leader. The 21-year-old edge rusher saw his highest snap share (52 percent of defensive snaps) of the season Sunday, and his playing time could very well continue to increase after this performance.

  • Cardinals' BJ Ojulari: Logs first career sack

    Ojulari registered two tackles (two solo), including a sack, in Sunday's 31-24 loss to the Ravens.

    Ojulari had his best career game as he logged his first career sack. The rookie second-rounder will now look to build off this strong performance this week versus the Browns.

  • Cardinals' BJ Ojulari: Available for Week 1

    Coach Jonathan Gannon said Monday that Ojulari (knee) will be ready to play Sunday at Washington, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.

    The rookie second-rounder figures to start against what was a fairly run-heavy Commanders team in 2022, so pass-rushing opportunities may be a bit more sparse than usual. Ojulari will try to get a quick start to his pro career after logging 36 tackles and 5.5 sacks at LSU last year.

  • Cardinals' BJ Ojulari: Activated from PUP list

    Ojulari (knee) was activated from the active/PUP list Monday, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

    Ojulari has taken a step forward in his recovery from the knee issue that has bothered the rookie since before the Cardinals selected him in the second round of the 2023 NFL Draft. According to coach Jonathan Gannon, Ojulari remains without a firm return timetable, Bo Brack of PHNX Sports reports. Once healthy, the linebacker out of LSU will compete for a starting role on the rebuilding Arizona defense, though it seems unlikely that he'll play in the team's preseason opener Friday in Denver.

  • Cardinals' BJ Ojulari: PUP bound

    Ojulari (knee) was placed on the Cardinals' active/PUP list Wednesday.

    The 41st overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft is dealing with a knee injury that will keep him sidelined for the beginning of camp. Arizona is hopeful to get Ojulari back soon, as the team is in need of edge rushers after finishing in the bottom third of the NFL in sacks last season and losing J.J. Watt to retirement. In his final two seasons at LSU, the 21-year-old Ojulari put up 112 tackles, 20.5 tackles for loss and 12.5 sacks.

  • Cardinals' BJ Ojulari: Tending to knee issue

    Ojulari, who was placed on the Cardinals' active/PUP list Wednesday, underwent a knee procedure between the combine and the 2023 Draft, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.

    Coach Jonathan Gannon described Ojulari's health concern as "a little nick" in his knee, but it didn't stop Arizona from using a second-round pick on him back in April. Ojulari hasn't been able to mix into drills since then, sitting out the entire offseason program and starting training camp on the PUP list. He's eligible to practice and/or play at any point, but the team will continue to exercise caution with the rookie pass rusher.

  • Cardinals' BJ Ojulari: Dealing with injury

    Ojulari has not been practicing due to an undisclosed injury, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

    Ojulari has been missing practice with what head coach Jonathan Gannon described as "a little bit of a nick." While the injury is not serious, the team is just being cautious, and the 21-year-old will look to get back on the field before training camp begins next month.
