Odighizuwa recorded four tackles in Thursday's 31-28 win over the Chiefs. The defensive tackle also played on 59 percent of the defensive snaps. Odighizuwa has played on more than half of the defensive snaps in every game this season, recording 34 total tackles (13 solo), including 3.0 sacks.

Odighizuwa (elbow) was limited in Tuesday's practice, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports. Odighizuwa was DNP at Monday's walkthrough, so the limited session gives him a good chance to play Thursday against the Chiefs. The 27-year-old defensive lineman has enjoyed a productive 2025 season, registering 30 tackles (13 solo), including 3.0 sacks, and a whopping 16 QB hits on 459 defensive snaps across 11 appearances.

Odighizuwa (elbow) did not participate in Monday's walkthrough practice, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports. Odighizuwa likely suffered the injury during Dallas' 24-21 overtime win over Philadelphia on Sunday, when he recorded four tackles, including 1.0 sacks and four total quarterback hits. He'll have two more chances to return to practice ahead of Thursday's game against the Chiefs, but if he's unable to play, then Kenny Clark and Solomon Thomas would be slated for more snaps at defensive tackle alongside Quinnen Williams.

Odighizuwa recorded four tackles, including 1.0 sacks, and four QB hits in Sunday's 24-21 win over the Eagles. The addition of Quinnen Williams at the trade deadline has injected some life into the entire Dallas defense, and Odighizuwa has been one of the biggest beneficiaries. The fifth-year defensive tackle has a sack in each of Williams' first two games as a Cowboy after managing just one through the first nine games this season. Williams, Odighizuwa and Kenny Clark have seen roughly equal workloads during those two weeks, sometimes even being on the field together as part of a five-man front, and that consistent pressure up the middle is paying dividends -- the trio has combined for 4.0 sacks in those two contests, both Dallas wins.

The Cowboys and Odighizuwa agreed to terms Tuesday on a four-year, $80 million contract extension, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. Dallas was expected to place the franchise tag on Odighizuwa, but the two sides managed to reach agreeable terms on a long-term deal before that proved necessary. The 27-year-old put together the best season of his career in 2024, with 47 tackles and 4.5 sacks across 17 regular-season appearances. His new deal reportedly includes $58 million guaranteed. For fantasy purposes, Odighizuwa looks slated to repeat as a high-end option in IDP formats that require starters at the defensive tackle position.
