Giants' Bobby Okereke: Set to anchor Giants defense
Bobby Okereke enters the 2024 campaign as New York's defensive anchor after leading the team with 149 tackles (including 2.5 sacks) last season while also recording four forced fumbles and 10 defensed passes (including two interceptions).After four years with Indianapolis, Okereke joined the New York Giants ahead of last season and shined in his first campaign in New York. He recorded career-best marks in sacks, pass defenses and forced fumbles while finishing two tackles shy of his career-high total in that category. Okereke surprisingly didn't make the Pro Bowl and didn't earn an All-Pro selection, though NFL.com writer Kevin Patra named him as the Giants' "unsung hero." Okereke is set to lead New York's linebacker corps again in 2024 and is a solid IDP option after averaging 150 tackles over the past two seasons.

Giants' Bobby Okereke: Pushes past injury in big effort
Bobby Okereke notched eight tackles (seven solo) and picked off a pass against New England in Sunday's Week 12 10-7 win.Okereke suffered a partial rib fracture and a dislocated pinky finger against Washington last week, but he entered Sunday's contest without an injury designation following a DNP/LP/LP practice progression during Week 12 prep. The veteran linebacker met his usual level of excellence despite the injuries, finishing in a tie for second on the New York Giants in stops and picking off his second pass of the year. Given the eventual winning margin of just three points, Okereke's interception in the second quarter was a game-changer, as it came with the Patriots driving deep into New York territory. Okereke returned the pick 55 yards to New England's 26 yard line, and the Giants scored their only touchdown of the contest six plays later. Okereke will get some much-earned rest and a chance to further heal from the rib and finger issues with New York on bye Week 13.
