• Ravens' David Ojabo: Notches sack in Thursday's loss

  09/06/2024 • By RotoWire

  Ojabo recorded a sack on his only tackle in Thursday's 27-20 loss to the Chiefs. Ojabo didn't exactly stuff the stat sheet, but his lone contribution was a meaningful one. The 24-year-old linebacker has already matched his season sack total from each of the previous two years.

• Ravens' David Ojabo: Full go at practice

  07/21/2024 • By RotoWire

  Ojabo (knee) was a full participant at the Ravens' first practice of training camp Sunday, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports. Ojabo seems to have made a full recovery from the ACL surgery he underwent in late November. The linebacker appeared in three games in 2023, securing six total tackles, including a sack, while also forcing a fumble. The former second-round pick from the 2022 NFL Draft has been limited to just five contests over his first two campaigns in the league, and he'll look to leave his injury woes behind him entering Year 3.

• Ravens' David Ojabo: Expects to be healthy soon

  05/30/2024 • By RotoWire

  Coach John Harbaugh said Thursday that Ojabo (knee) will probably be ready to practice in full at some point during training camp, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports. Ojabo missed most of his second NFL season after sustaining a torn ACL in Week 3, but it now looks like he should be back to 100 percent by the start of the 2024 campaign. Through his first two NFL seasons combined, he's appeared in just five games.

• Ravens' David Ojabo: Out Week 4

  09/30/2023 • By RotoWire

  Ojabo (ankle) will not play in Sunday's matchup with the Browns. No surprise here, as Ojabo was unable to participate in practice all week. He injured his ankle in last week's loss to the Colts. With Odafe Oweh (ankle) also ruled out, Jadeveon Clowney and Tavius Robinson will presumably get the start on the edge, while Jeremiah Moon should see an increased role providing depth.

• Ravens' David Ojabo: Feels better than pre-Achilles tear

  05/18/2023 • By RotoWire

  Ojabo said Wednesday that he's added 5-to-10 pounds of muscle this offseason and currently feels "more explosive" than he did before his Achilles tear in March 2022, Clifton Brown of the Ravens' official website reports. Ojabo was widely projected as a first-round pick prior to the injury at his pro day last March and went 45th overall even with no expectation of rookie-year contributions. The linebacker made his NFL debut nine months after the injury but played only 23 defensive snaps in three appearances (including playoffs) over Baltimore's final five games. Ojabo did have a strip-sack on one of those snaps, Week 18 at Cincinnati, and he'll have every chance to earn a lot of playing time in 2023 after the Ravens relied on 30-something OLBs Justin Houston and Jason Pierre-Paul (both free agents as of mid-May) for 923 combined snaps last year. Odafe Oweh and Tyus Bowser are Baltimore's returning edge rushers with significant NFL experience, but the former has only eight sacks in 32 career games (1,249 snaps) and the latter 19.5 in 89 (2,443 snaps). In addition to his pass-rushing upside, Ojabo is plenty big enough to handle early down snaps, especially if he's now up to around 255-260 pounds (he weighed 250 at the 2022 Combine).
