The Philadelphia Eagles have opened the practice window for outside linebacker Azeez Ojulari. Ojulari was inactive during the first four games of the season but made his debut with the Eagles in Week 5 against the Broncos. He played four snaps in Week 7 against the Vikings before leaving due to a hamstring injury and was subsequently placed on Injured Reserve after Philadelphia’s Week 8 game against the Giants.

Ojulari joined the team’s rotation when Nolan Smith was placed on Injured Reserve. Since then, Smith has returned to play, Brandon Graham has come out of retirement, and Jaelan Phillips was acquired from the Dolphins. In his 67 defensive snaps this season, Ojulari has recorded six tackles, including one for a loss, and a quarterback hit.

Ojulari was selected in the second round of the 2021 draft by the New York Giants and spent his first four seasons there. During that period, he accumulated 22 sacks over 46 games with 30 starts.

The Eagles are a professional American football team based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The organization provides entertainment through National Football League games as well as news, media coverage, ticketing services, and fan engagement efforts according to their official website. The team attracts fans from both local communities and across the nation through its games and related offerings.

Since joining the NFL in 1933, the Eagles have established a broad cultural presence that extends beyond Philadelphia via national broadcasts, media activities, and merchandising opportunities (official website).
