Ogbah sacked Dorian Thompson-Robinson midway through the third quarter of Sunday's game, stripping the ball to set up a fumble recovery by Da'Shawn Hand. It was Ogbah's first credited sack since Week 12 against the Patriots, and the 2016 second-round pick is up to 4.5 sacks through 15 regular-season games.

• Dolphins' Emmanuel Ogbah: Limited to open week

  Rotowire Oct 23, 2024

  Ogbah (biceps) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports. Despite logging three limited practice sessions last week, Ogbah was inactive for the Dolphins' Week 7 game against the Colts. Given that, he may need to increase his practice participation over the next two days in order to avoid an injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Cardinals. Through the first five games of the regular season, Ogbah has tallied 18 tackles (12 solo), including 2.0 sacks, and one interception.

• Dolphins' Emmanuel Ogbah: Expected to be cut

  Rotowire Feb 23, 2024

  Miami is expected to release Ogbah on Friday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. Ogbah had spent the last four years of his career with the Dolphins, but it now seems as if that time is coming to an end. This move comes as no surprise, as Miami can save close to $14 million in cap space by cutting ties with Ogbah. The veteran edge rusher started in just one of the 15 games he appeared in during Miami's 2023 campaign, logging 19 total tackles, including five sacks and an additional three tackles for loss.

  Rotowire Dec 31, 2023

  Ogbah (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game at Baltimore. Ogbah will be sidelined for his second consecutive game in Week 17, though this time he appears to be a healthy scratch. In his stead, Da'Shawn Hand will likely see an uptick in reps against the Ravens.

• Dolphins' Emmanuel Ogbah: Appears back to full health

  Rotowire Dec 27, 2023

  Ogbah is not listed on Miami's injury report Wednesday, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports. Ogbah injured his hamstring against the Jets in Week 15 and didn't play this past Sunday versus Dallas. However, his name is off the injury report for the start of Week 17 prep, suggesting that he'll be able to return to action Sunday in Baltimore. Ogbah has played a rotational role for the Dolphins this season, tallying 15 tackles (six solo), including 5.0 sacks, along with an interception over 14 contests.

  Rotowire Dec 17, 2023

  Ogbah (hamstring) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Jets. With the Dolphins up by 27 late in the third quarter, it's likely that Ogbah's day is done. He had an assisted sack before leaving Sunday's contest.

• Dolphins' Emmanuel Ogbah: Would have played moving forward

  Rotowire Jan 16, 2023

  Ogbah (triceps) was expected to be cleared to play if the Dolphins advanced in the postseason, Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network reports. As the Dolphins players cleared out their lockers Monday, Ogbah said that the plan was for him to return from his triceps injury in the AFC divisional round if the the team had beaten Buffalo on Sunday. It appears as if the defensive end should have no issue being ready to go for the start of training camp this summer. Ogbah appeared in nine games in 2022, recording 11 tackles, including one sack.

• Dolphins' Emmanuel Ogbah: Will not return

  Rotowire Nov 13, 2022

  Ogbah (elbow) will not return Sunday against the Browns. Ogbah left the game in the first half, but he was not originally ruled out. In his absence, Zach Sieler will likely provide depth behind the starters on the edge, Raekwon Davis and Christian Wilkins.

• Dolphins' Emmanuel Ogbah: Suiting up in Detroit

  Rotowire Oct 30, 2022

  Ogbah (back) is active Week 8 against the Lions. The Dolphins only have five active defensive linemen for their 3-4 scheme, suggesting Ogbah wasn't in much danger of missing this practice despite a questionable tag. The veteran hasn't recorded a sack since Week 1, however, which would put him on pace for a career low in that department.

• Dolphins' Emmanuel Ogbah: Game-time decision Sunday

  Rotowire Oct 21, 2022

  Ogbah (back) will be a game-time decision to play Sunday versus the Steelers, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports. Ogbah suffered a back injury in Week 6 against the Vikings and is questionable to play on Sunday Night Football this week. If he can't go, Zach Sieler (hand) could get some extra run, but the Dolphins may have to elevate an extra body from their practice unit.

• Dolphins' Emmanuel Ogbah: Questionable to return

  Rotowire Oct 16, 2022

  Ogbah (back) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Vikings. Ogbah temporarily went to the Dolphins' locker room before returning to the team's sideline, according to Daniel Oyefusi of the Miami Herald. With the 28-year-old out for the time being, expect Zach Sieler to see increased usage opposite Christian Wilkins.

• Dolphins' Emmanuel Ogbah: Secures payday from Dolphins

  Rotowire Mar 14, 2022

  Ogbah and Miami have agreed to terms on a four-year, $65 million contract, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports. Ogbah has solidified himself as one of Miami's defensive cornerstones, having served as the team's sack leader in back-to-back seasons. Retaining the 28-year-old defensive end is a notable boost for the Dolphins' defensive prospects in the 2022 campaign, and for the foreseeable future. For Ogbah's part, he now secures the largest contract of his career, which includes $32 million guaranteed.

• Dolphins' Emmanuel Ogbah: Brings down Wentz in loss

  Rotowire Oct 4, 2021

  Ogbah notched four tackles (two solo) and one sack during Sunday's 27-17 loss to the Colts. Ogbah has 1.5 sacks through the first four weeks of the season, so he'll need to ramp up his pace for any chance of matching last season's nine-sack total. It will be difficult to rely on Ogbah for fantasy purposes Week 5, as the Buccaneers' offensive front should have a clear advantage over Miami's pass rush.

• Dolphins' Emmanuel Ogbah: Modest production vs. Bills

  Rotowire Sep 21, 2021

  Ogbah notched four tackles (one solo) and a half-sack during Sunday's 35-0 loss to the Bills. Ogbah has just seven total tackles, one pass breakup and a half-sack through the first two weeks of the 2021 campaign. The 27-year-old has never been a reliable weekly starter in IDP fantasy formats, but given that he had a career-high nine sacks last season, it's somewhat disappointing to see him get off to a slow start this year. Ogbah will look to get right in Week 3 versus a Raiders squad that could have Nathan Peterman under center if Derek Carr (ankle) can't go.

• Dolphins' Emmanuel Ogbah: Manages nine sacks

  Rotowire Jan 10, 2021

  Ogbah had 43 tackles (26 solo), nine sacks, five defended passes and three forced fumbles across 16 games in 2020. Ogbah notched a new career-high in terms of snaps during his inaugural season with the Dolphins, providing exactly the sort of pressure off the edge that the team hoped for when he was signed to a two-year, $15 million contract last March. Though Ogbah's deal includes a potential out this offseason, Miami could certainly opt to keep him in house for 2021 given the quality of his play in 2020.
