• Benson Mayowa: Let go by Seattle

  Rotowire Mar 17, 2022

  The Seahawks released Mayowa on Wednesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports. Mayowa recorded six sacks during his first year with Seattle in 2020 and was re-signed on a two-year, $8.8 million deal a year ago. His production took a step back in his second season with Seattle, however, as he finished 2021 with 30 total tackles and one sack in 15 games. The 30-year-old has played with four different organizations over the past five years and is now in search of a new team once again.

• Seahawks' Benson Mayowa: Questionable for Week 3

  Rotowire Sep 25, 2020

  Mayowa (groin) is considered questionable for Sunday's game versus the Cowboys, Curtis Crabtree of Sports Radio 950 KJR Seattle reports. It's unclear what capacity Mayowa practiced Friday, but it's encouraging that he hasn't been ruled out after being listed as DNP on Wednesday and Thursday. The 29-year-old DE has three solo tackles and a sack through the first two games, and if he suits up, he'll be tasked with containing Dak Prescott, who ran for three touchdowns in Week 2.

• Seahawks' Benson Mayowa: Takes down QB

  Rotowire Sep 14, 2020

  Mayowa recorded a sack and a pass breakup in Sunday's 38-25 win over the Falcons. Mayowa showcased his pass-rushing ability in a limited role with the Raiders last year, but now he has a three-down gig, playing 90 percent of the team's defensive snaps Sunday. The veteran defensive end came through with a sack, although his low tackle count is concerning for IDP purposes.

• Raiders' Benson Mayowa: Makes most of limited snaps

  Rotowire Oct 29, 2019

  Mayowa notched a sack in Sunday's 27-24 loss to the Texans. Mayowa only played 28 of 81 offensive snaps (34 percent), coming in tied for third among Raiders' defensive ends but with 24 fewer than Clelin Ferrell, who ranked second. Mayowa is used to the limited role, however, as he leads the team with 5.5 sacks over six games.

• Raiders' Benson Mayowa: Marks two sacks

  Rotowire Sep 10, 2019

  Mayowa made three solo tackles and two sacks in Monday's 24-16 win over the Broncos. Although Mayowa was used sparingly -- he played 25 of 64 defensive snaps (39 percent) -- he made good use of the opportunities by recording two of Oakland's three sacks Monday. It'll be tough for him to be a consistent IDP asset, however, unless Mayowa earns a more-consistent snap count.

  Rotowire Dec 28, 2018

• Cowboys' Benson Mayowa: Recovering well from knee surgery

  Rotowire Aug 8, 2016

  Cowboys head coach Jason Garrett is hopeful that Mayowa (knee) will be able to return to practice soon, David Helman of DallasCowboys.com reports. "I don't want to be definitive on that, but he's making progress," Garrett said. "But hopefully in the next few days we can inch him along and get him out there." Mayowa underwent a knee scope in June with an original timetable for his recovery of six weeks, but he appears to be a bit behind that schedule now. Assuming he comes off the PUP list soon though, he'll still have plenty of time to potentially win a starting job at DE to begin the season while the Cowboys are without the suspended DeMarcus Lawrence and Randy Gregory.

• Cowboys' Benson Mayowa: Undergoes left knee surgery Tuesday

  Rotowire Jun 14, 2016

  Mayowa is set to undergo arthroscopic surgery on his left knee Tuesday, Clarence Hill of Star-Telegram.com reports. Mayowa is expected to be ready for Cowboys training camp in six weeks, as the team doesn't believe his injury is anything serious. He figures to have an expanded role on the defensive line early in the regular season with projected starters DeMarcus Lawrence and Randy Gregory suspended for the first four games due to violations of the league's substance abuse policy. An update on Mayowa's recovery following Tuesday's surgery should be available prior to training camp in late-July.

• Cowboys' Benson Mayowa: Signs with Dallas

  Rotowire Mar 24, 2016

  The Raiders opted not to match the Cowboys' offer sheet for Mayowa, DallasCowboys.com reports. Mayowa only has two career sacks to his name, but the Cowboys liked what they saw from him last season in a limited role with the Raiders, and he'll join a defensive end rotation that is very unsettled beyond DeMarcus Lawrence. With Randy Gregory suspended for the first four games of 2016, Mayowa could take on a larger role than expected.

• Raiders' Benson Mayowa: Signs offer sheet with Cowboys

  Rotowire Mar 19, 2016

  Mayowa signed a three-year, $8.55 million offer sheet with the Cowboys on Friday, The Dallas Morning News reports. The Raiders will have until Wednesday to decide whether or not to match it. Mayowa has the size and athletic ability Dallas looks for in their pass rushers, and they certainly need help at defensive end, but he's still very raw and isn't likely to be anything more than a rotation player in 2016 whichever team he winds up with.

  Rotowire Oct 17, 2014

  Defensive end Justin Tuck (knee) and fullback Marcel Reece (quad) have been designated as questionable by the Raiders for their Sunday game against Arizona.

Those three are in better shape than wideout Vincent Brown (hamstring), cornerback Keith McGill (groin) and free safety Usama Young (foot), all of whom have been ruled out. The trio of probables is headlined by quarterback Derek Carr, who is all but certain to play despite ankle and knee issues. Defensive end Benson Mayowa (knee) and linebacker Sio Moore (ankle) are also probable.
