Steelers' Larry Ogunjobi: Questionable for Week 16
Rotowire
Ogunjobi (groin) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice and is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Ravens, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.
Ogunjobi was unable to play in the Steelers' Week 15 loss to the Eagles due to a groin injury he suffered against the Browns in Week 14. He was listed as a limited practice participant all week, and his official status for Saturday's AFC North clash may not be known until the Steelers release their inactives list approximately 90 minutes before the 4:30 p.m. ET kickoff. If Ogunjobi is unable to play, Dean Lowry and Isaiahh Loudermilk would both see increased snaps at defensive end alongside starter Cameron Heyward.

Steelers' Larry Ogunjobi: Out for Week 15
Rotowire
Ogunjobi (groin) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Eagles, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.
The veteran defensive tackle from Charlotte didn't practice all week after sustaining a groin injury in Pittsburgh's Week 14 win over the Browns, so missing Sunday's contest comes as no surprise. Isaiahh Loudermilk will likely have an increased role with the Steelers' first-team defense in Ogunjobi's stead in Week 15.

Steelers' Larry Ogunjobi: Misses Wednesday's practice
Rotowire
Ogunjobi (groin) didn't practice Wednesday, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.
Ogunjobi played nine defensive snaps and recorded two total tackles in Steelers' Week 14 win over the Browns before exiting with a groin injury. Wednesday's DNP suggests Ogunjobi is likely at risk of missing additional time, so he'll need to upgrade to at least limited practice Thursday or Friday in order to play in Week 15, when the Steelers travel to Philadelphia.

Rotowire
Ogunjobi (groin) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday night's game against Dallas, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.

Steelers' Larry Ogunjobi: Gets to quarterback Saturday
Rotowire
Ogunjobi recorded four tackles (two solo), including a sack, in Saturday's 30-13 loss at Indianapolis.
Ogunjobi split a double team and chased down Gardner Minshew late in the first quarter to put up his third sack of the season in Week 15. He hasn't been as effective in run defense in his second season in Pittsburgh, but he's put up better numbers as a pass rusher. Still, he's not on the IDP radar in most formats going into Week 16.

Ogunjobi (undisclosed) was activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list Monday.
Ogunjobi was sidelined for the final week of the regular season, but he's expected to return for the wild-card matchup against the Raiders on Saturday.

Rotowire
Ogunjobi made six tackles (four solo) and a sack in Sunday's 27-24 overtime win over the Vikings.
Ogunjobi played 59 defensive snaps (71 percent) during the season opener. His six stops would've been a season high in 2020 when he was with the Browns. The 27-year-old defensive tackle could provide some IDP upside this season, especially if he can keep getting to the quarterback. He could have a good chance against Chicago's putrid offensive line in Week 2.

Browns' Larry Ogunjobi: Keeps getting to QB
Rotowire
Ogunjobi made four solo tackles and a sack in Sunday's 40-25 win over the Ravens.
Ogunjobi gave us a sneak peek at his potential last year with 5.5 sacks, and he now has three sacks through four games this year. The 25-year-old defensive tackle will have a tough test in Week 5 versus the 49ers, as Jimmy Garoppolo has only been sacked twice over three contests.
