Otito Ogbonnia: Everything you need to know

Ogbonnia is slated to sign a one-year, $3 million deal with the Cowboys, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports. Ogbonnia played 10 games last season, logging double-digit defensive snaps in just seven of those games. The 25-year-old will likely fill the role of rotational nose tackle or defensive end behind starters Quinnen Williams, Kenny Clark and Osa Odighizuwa.

The Chargers activated Ogbonnia (elbow) from injured reserve, and he is active for Monday night's game against the Eagles, Eric Smith of the Chargers' official site reports. Ogbonnia has been officially cleared to return Monday from a five-game absence due to an elbow injury, and he'll join Scott Matlock as the Chargers' rotational options at defensive end behind starters Justin Eboigbe and Da'Shawn Hand. Ogbonnia logged one solo tackle across the four regular-season games prior to his placement on IR in late October.

Ogbonnia (elbow) is questionable for Monday's game versus the Eagles. The Chargers designated Ogbonnia to return to practice Nov. 29 after he missed the last five games with an elbow injury. Though he has not been officially activated off injured reserve, the 25-year-old was able to string together multiple full practices, giving him the potential to play in Week 14 against the Eagles.
