Azeez Ojulari: Breaking News

Signs with hometown team

Ojulari is slated to sign a one-year deal with the Falcons, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports. Ojulari is an Atlanta native, and the Falcons are looking to bring the veteran edge rusher home. The 25-year-old played in just three regular-season games for the Eagles last year, totalling 67 defensive snaps. The number of defensive snaps Ojulari gets to see in 2026 is likely tied to the result of James Pearce's standing battery charges and what other moves the Falcons make around the outside linebacker unit.

Won't face 49ers

Ojulari (hamstring) was not activated from injured reserve Saturday and will not play in Sunday's wild-card game against the 49ers, per the NFL transaction log. Ojulari hasn't played since Week 7, but he logged full practices throughout the week. If the Eagles advance to the divisional round, he seemingly has a good chance to return.

Questionable but still on IR

Ojulari (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's wild-card round game against the 49ers. Ojulari would need to be activated from injured reserve in order to suit up Sunday, but he has looked promising in practice after having his return window opened Wednesday, as he practiced without limitations Friday. If given clearance to play, Ojulari would likely work in a depth role after being limited to three appearances during the regular season.
