News

  • Delivers in first year

    Okoronkwo recorded 31 tackles, 4.5 sacks, one pass defensed and a fumble recovery over 14 regular-season games for the Browns in 2023.

    Analysis: Okoronkwo parlayed a strong 2022 season with the Texans into a three-year deal in Cleveland, and the 28-year-old edge rusher gave maximum effort when not sidelined by injury. He showed that grit in returning from a December pectoral injury that initially appeared to be of the season-ending variety. Okoronkwo maintained a spot in the rotation at defensive end along with Myles Garrett and Za'Darius Smith. It looks like the Browns hit in Year 1 of the deal, and Okoronkwo should remain part of the…read more

  • Returning Week 18

    Okoronkwo (pectoral) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Bengals, Kelsey Russo of the Browns official site reports.

    Analysis: Okoronkwo had missed Cleveland's last three games with this pectoral injury, but it now seems as if he's had enough time to move past the issue. The 28-year-old could very well start on the Browns' defensive line with Myles Garrett (shoulder/hamstring) missing the team's regular-season finale.

  • Won't play vs. Jets

    Okoronkwo (pectoral) is listed as out for Thursday's game versus the Jets, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

    Analysis: Okoronkwo will be sidelined for his third straight game Thursday due to a pectoral tear. In his place, 2022 third-round pick Alex Wright will likely see an uptick in reps as the Browns' top edge rusher off the bench.

  • Out again Week 16

    Okoronkwo (pectoral) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Texans, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

    Analysis: Okoronkwo will miss a second game in a row due to the pectoral injury he suffered against the Jaguars in Week 14. Alex Wright will step into a more significant role on Cleveland's defense again Week 16 versus Houston.

  • Won't suit up vs. Bears

    Okoronkwo (pectoral) is out for Sunday's game versus the Bears, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

    Analysis: As expected, Okoronkwo will miss his first game of the season in Week 15 due to a pectoral injury. In his stead, 2022 third-rounder Alex Wright will likely see an increase in playing time.

  • Season likely over

    Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski said Wednesday that Okoronkwo will likely miss the remainder of the season with a pectoral tear, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

    Analysis: Okoronkwo seemingly suffered the injury in Sunday's win over the Jaguars despite playing 49 percent of the team's defensive snaps and recording two solo tackles and a sack. His potential absence in the weeks ahead will be a blow to the Browns' depth on the defensive line and lead to more opportunities for Alex Wright and Isaiah McGuire.

  • Logs sack versus Pittsburgh

    Okoronkwo recorded one sack in Sunday's Week 11 win over the Steelers.

    Analysis: Okoronkwo also picked up five tackles (four solo) and four TFLs, both of which are new season-highs for the fifth-year edge rusher. On the season, Okoronkwo is up to 3.5 sacks as Myles Garrett's bookend.

  • Logs sack Week 1

    Okoronkwo recorded three tackles and one sack in Sunday's 24-3 win over the Bengals.

    Analysis: Okoronkwo was part of the three-man edge rotation that made life difficult for Joe Burrow. In addition to Okoronkwo, Myles Garrett had a sack and four quarterback hurries and Za'Darius Smith pressured the quarterback four times. Okoronkwo was a bright spot for the Texans in 2022, recording career highs in sacks (five) and tackles (44).

  • Becoming Garrett's rush partner

    Okoronkwo is expected to serve as the edge starter opposite Myles Garrett, Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Okoronkwo signed a three-year deal with the Browns after posting five sacks in part-time duty for the Texans. With Jadeveon Clowney released, the organization is betting that Okoronkwo's ascension as an edge rusher continues as part of a revamped defensive line that also welcomes run-stopping defensive tackle Dalvin Tomlinson in the middle. Alex Wright, in whom the Browns invested a 2022 third-round draft pick, will also be in the defensive end mix. He played about 50 percent of the snaps as a…read more

  • Goes to Browns on three-year deal

    The Browns and Okoronkwo agreed to terms on a three-year, $19 million contract Monday, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport repiorts.

    Analysis: A former fifth-round pick of the Rams, Okoronkwo finally got a chance to play significant snaps last season with the Texans and recorded five sacks off the edge. He'll be part of the rotation opposite Myles Garrett in Cleveland.

  • Makes strong FA case

    Okoronkwo recorded one tackle and a pass defensed in a 32-31 win over the Colts in Week 18.

    Analysis: Okoronkwo recorded career highs in tackles (44) and sacks (five) in his first year with Houston after three seasons with the Rams. He played a full 17-game season after injuries limited him in Los Angeles. The full season of health and career-high production puts the 27-year-old linebacker in a good position as he heads into free agency.

  • Available for season finale

    Okoronkwo (illness) is officially active for Sunday's game at Indianapolis.

    Analysis: Okoronkwo was questionable due to an illness but is available for Sunday's season finale. The 27-year-old has played in all 16 games this season and has 43 tackles (31 solo), five sacks and one forced fumble.

  • Questionable with illness

    Okoronkwo is questionable for Sunday's matchup against the Colts due to an illness.

    Analysis: Okoronkwo landed on the injury report Thursday as a non-participant due to an illness and was limited during Friday's session. If he's unable to suit up, Jonathan Greenard, Rasheem Green and Mario Addison would be candidates for increased snaps opposite Jerry Hughes.

  • Logs two sacks in win

    Okoronkwo had five tackles, three tackles for loss and two sacks in Saturday's 19-14 win over the Titans.

    Analysis: Okoronkwo and the rest of the defensive line have played well over the second half of the season. The fourth-year defensive end has a career-high four sacks this season, all in the last four weeks, while the defense has logged 23 over the last nine games. Okoronkwo's 39 tackles in 2022 are more than he registered in three years with the Rams.

  • Avoids injury report

    Okoronkwo (biceps) was not listed on the Texans' injury report Wednesday.

    Analysis: Okoronkwo missed Houston's preseason finale Aug. 25 with an unspecified biceps injury, but it appears this was not a major issue given his absence from the team's first injury report of the 2022 regular season. The 27-year-old recorded 15 tackles and two sacks while playing 246 defensive snaps over 13 contests with the Rams in 2021.

  • Will miss Texans' preseason finale

    Okoronkwo suffered a biceps injury in Monday's practice and won't play in the Texans' preseason finale Thursday, Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.

    Analysis: Okoronkwo's injury was reported on Monday as undisclosed and was considered not serious. Coach Lovie Smith shared that he's unsure if the defensive end will be able to practice for the rest of this week as he deals with his biceps injury. Although he's out Thursday, Okoronkwo figures to see a depth role behind Mario Addison this season once he's healthy.

  • Misses Monday's practice

    Okoronkwo sat out Monday's practice with an undisclosed injury, Brooks Kubena of the Houston Chronicle reports. "We don't think it's anything too serious," head coach Lovie Smith said. "But we'll see. I don't know for sure if he'll be able to go this week. Eventually, he'll be out there."

    Analysis: Okoronkwo, entering his fourth NFL season, was signed to give a boost to the defensive line's pass rush after the unit had limited success in 2021. His contributions in that area showed during the first two preseason games, as he's been one of the more disruptive players. Okoronkwo has registered a combined six tackles, one sack and three quarterback hits over 70 snaps.

    Analysis: Okoronkwo spent his first four seasons with the Rams. He recorded 13 tackles (seven solo) and two sacks across 13 games n 2022. He will presumably compete for a role at outside linebacker in Houston.

  • Removed from COVID-19 list

    Okoronkwo was activated off the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday, Lindsey Thiry of ESPN.com reports.

    Okoronkwo (undisclosed) was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Thursday.

    Analysis: Okoronkwo was one of five Rams to be placed in COVID-19 protocols Thursday. With his status for Sunday's contest against the Seahawks in jeopardy, Jamir Jones and Terrell Lewis could be in store for increased snaps in Week 15.

    Okoronkwo (shoulder) has been designated to return from injured reserve Wednesday, Lindsey Thiry of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Okoronkwo will have a three-week window to be added to the active roster. If he isn't, then he will spend the remainder of the season on IR. The 26-year-old appeared in 10 contests last season and notched 12 tackles, one sack and one pass deflection.

  • Shoulder stinger

    Coach Sean McVay said Wednesday that Okoronkwo is nursing a shoulder stinger, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Okoronkwo's shoulder injury will likely force him to miss Saturday's exhibition finale against the Broncos, but he will have more than two weeks to recover before Sept. 12's regular-season opener against the Bears. He notched 12 tackles, one sack and one pass breakup across 10 contests last season.

  • All clear for Week 15

    Okoronkwo (undisclosed) is active for Sunday's game against the Jets.

    Analysis: Okoronkwo was instructed to stay away from team facilities for a portion of the practice week, as the Rams aimed to mitigate COVID-19 spread following a positive test within the organization. The 25-year-old hasn't yet started a game for L.A. this season, but he has garnered a workload of 18.3 defensive snaps per game over seven 2020 appearances. He has an opportunity to build on his modest sack total of one against a Jets offensive line that is tied for the seventh-most sacks surrendered on…read more

  • Receives questionable tag

    Okoronkwo (undisclosed) is questionable for Sunday's game versus the Jets, Kevin Modesti of the Los Angeles Daily News reports.

    Analysis: There are COVID-19 concerns at the Rams' facilities, and they're taking every precaution ahead of Sunday's contest. Okoronkwo has been staying away from the team as a result, according to Modesti. It's uncertain if he'll play in Sunday's game. Fellow linebacker Justin Hollins is questionable for the same reason. Rookie Terrell Lewis would see a bump in usage if both players sit out.

  • Returns from IR

    The Rams activated Okoronkwo (elbow) from injured reserve Saturday.

    Analysis: Okoronkwo will return to the lineup in Sunday's game against the Cardinals, his first time on the field since Week 4. Prior to his injury, Okoronkwo played around 30 percent of the snaps on defense in each game, recording eight tackles, a sack and a pass breakup. He'll serve as a reserve behind starters Leonard Floyd and Samson Ebukam.

  • Designated to return from IR

    The Rams designated Okoronkwo (elbow) to return from IR on Wednesday.

    Analysis: Consequently, Okoronkwo's 21-day practice window has opened, and he could be available to play as soon as Sunday against San Francisco. The linebacker filled a situational role in his three games before getting injured, notching eight tackles (six solo), a sack and a pass breakup.

  • Unlikely to return Week 10

    Okoronkwo (elbow) isn't expected to return from injured reserve and play Sunday against the Seahawks, Cameron DaSilva of USA Today reports.

    Analysis: The 25-year-old underwent elbow surgery in mid-October and was given a four- to six-week recovery timeline, and he has yet to be designated to return from injured reserve. Once Okoronkwo receives the return designation, he'll have a 21-day window to practice and potentially be activated before reverting to injured reserve for the rest of the season.

  • Officially placed on IR

    Okoronkwo (elbow) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday, Stu Jackson of the Rams' official site reports.

    Analysis: Okoronkwo suffered this injury in a Week 5 win over Washington and he underwent surgery that required a four- to six-week recovery timeline. The Rams made a confusing move by keeping him on the active roster for the Week 6 matchup against the 49ers, and now he'll be shut down for at least the next two games, making him eligible to return Week 10 against Seattle. Natrez Patrick and rookie Terrell Lewis figure to see increases in their respective workloads for the time being.

  • Set to miss four to six weeks

    Okoronkwo will undergo elbow surgery and is expected to miss four to six weeks, Stu Jackson of the Rams' official site reports.

    Analysis: The Rams likely will place Okoronkwo on injured reserve within the next couple of days. Coach Sean McVay relayed Wednesday that losing Okoronkwo is a big hit to the teams' defense since the third-year linebacker has been "playing so well." He's recorded eight tackles, a sack and a pass breakup through three games in a situational role. Samson Ebukam and rookie Terrell Lewis could both receive bumps in usage until Okoronkwo returns.

  • Expected to undergo surgery

    Okoronkwo is expected to undergo surgery after injuring his elbow Sunday, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: The specifics of the surgery remain unknown, but the obvious hope is that it will not cost the linebacker the rest of his 2020 campaign. Okoronkwo has seen steadily increasing defensive reps as the season has progressed. He has eight tackles (six solo), a sack and a pass defensed through five games this season.

  • Suffers elbow injury

    Okoronkwo suffered an elbow injury during Sunday's game against Washington and is considered questionable to return, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: The Oklahoma product registered his first sack of 2020 during a 17-9 win over the Giants last Sunday, but he had not yet logged a tackle prior to his exit against Washington in Week 5. Okoronkwo was not being counted on for starting snaps in the Rams' linebacker rotation, but he had garnered an average of 20.3 defensive snaps per game Weeks 1 through 4. This development thins out the left outside linebacker spot behind Samson Ebukam should Okoronkwo prove unable to return.
