Giants' Azeez Ojulari: Set to go on injured reserve
Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reported Tuesday that the New York Giants are planning on placing Azeez Ojulari (toe) on injured reserve.Ojulari suffered a toe injury during the Giants' 30-7 loss to the Buccaneers on Sunday. The injury isn't severe enough to require surgery, but the 24-year-old linebacker will be sidelined for multiple weeks and will wear a walking boot to aid in the healing process. Should he be placed on injured reserve before Thursday's game against the Cowboys, the earliest Ojulari would be allowed to return from IR would be Week 17 against the Colts on Sunday, Dec. 29. Patrick Johnson will be the Giants' rotational outside linebacker behind starters Brian Burns and Kayvon Thibodeaux due to Ojulari's injury.

Azeez Ojulari tallied seven tackles (three solo), including 2.0 sacks, in Monday's loss to Pittsburgh.Ojulari tied for third on New York in tackles with a season-high total.

Ojulari has has racked up 14 tackles, including 5.0 sacks, over the three-game span, which could either lead to a continued significant role even upon Thibodeaux's eventual return or a spike in his trade value if New York elects to shop him.

Giants' Azeez Ojulari: Posts two sacks sans Thibodeaux
Azeez Ojulari registered four tackles (two solo), including 2.0 sacks, Sunday in a Week 6 loss to Cincinnati.Kayvon Thibodeaux was placed on injured reserve with a wrist injury Saturday, opening the door for Ojulari to get more work. The 24-year-old Ojulari logged a season-high 77 percent of New York's defensive snaps Sunday and came through with two of the team's four sacks in the contest. Ojulari should continue to receiving a healthy workload while Thibodeaux is out of action, and the former showed Sunday that he could be a force as a pass rusher when given the opportunity.

Giants' Azeez Ojulari: Another injury-plagued campaign
Azeez Ojulari totaled 16 tackles (nine solo), including 2.5 sacks, over 11 contests during the 2023 season.Separate hamstring and ankle injuries caused Ojulari to miss six games early in the season, and he's suited up in just 18 of a possible 34 regular-season contests over the past two campaigns. After logging a promising 8.0 sacks as a rookie in 2021, the Georgia product tallied a career-low 2.5 sacks in 2023, with two of those coming in the relatively meaningless regular-season finale against Philadelphia. Ojulari has shown considerable pass-rush talent when able to suit up, but his ability to stay healthy will be key as he looks to have a bounce-back year in the final season of his rookie contract in 2024.
