  • Officially placed on IR

    The Bears placed Odeyingbo (Achilles) on injured reserve Tuesday.

    Analysis: Odeyingbo sustained an Achilles injury during the Bears' 47-42 win over the Bengals on Sunday. The injury is severe enough for the 2021 second-rounder to be sidelined for the rest of the season, and it's unclear whether he'll be available for the start of the 2026 campaign. With Odeyingbo done for the year, the Bears solidified their depth on the defensive line by acquiring Joe Tryon-Shoyinka and a 2026 seventh-round pick via trade from the Browns on Tuesday in exchange for a 2026 sixth-round…read more

  • Out for year with Achilles injury

    Odeyingbo will miss the rest of the 2025 season due to an Achilles injury he sustained during the Bears' 47-42 win over the Bengals on Sunday, Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Odeyingbo left midway through the fourth quarter of Sunday's game due to what was originally reported as an ankle injury. However, further tests have a revealed an Achilles injury that will sideline the 2021 second-rounder for the rest of the season, and he'll finish with 21 tackles (nine solo), including 1.0 sacks, and one pass defense across eight regular-season games. With Odeyingbo done for the year, Austin Booker and Daniel Hardy are slated to see more snaps at defensive end.

  • Exits with ankle injury

    Odeyingbo is doubtful to return to Sunday's matchup versus the Lions due to an ankle injury.

    Analysis: Odeyingbo hopped to the medical tent in the fourth quarter and was subsequently deemed doubtful to return. If he's done for the day, he'll finish with one tackle and a quarterback hit.

  • Posts eight tackles in defeat

    Odeyingbo registered eight tackles, including one tackle for loss, in the Bears' 30-16 loss to the Ravens on Sunday.

    Analysis: Odeyingbo had 12 tackles in six games before breaking out against the Ravens. This looks like an anomaly performance, and the defensive end remains a low-floor IDP.

  • Heads to Windy City

    Odeyingbo is in line to sign a three-year, $48 million contract with the Bears, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Odeyingbo will depart Indianapolis after four seasons with the Colts. In 2024, the Vanderbilt product recorded 31 combined tackles, including his lowest sack total since rookie season with 3.0. He'll figure to be a prominent piece on the Bears' defensive line in 2025.

  • Sees sacks total fall in 2024

    Odeyingbo produced 31 tackles, including 3.0 sacks, along with two forced fumbles and a recovered fumble over 17 regular-season games.

    Analysis: For the third straight year, Odeyingbo played in all 17 regular-season contests. Despite the fact that he logged 120 more defensive snaps than in 2023, his total sacks dropped by over half, from 8.0 to 3.0. Odeyingbo is set to become an unrestricted free agent, and it's unclear if Indianapolis will look to bring him back.

  • Will play through hamstring issue

    Odeyingbo (hamstring) is active for Sunday's game against Miami.

    Analysis: Odeyingbo picked up a hamstring injury in Week 6 against the Titans. He finished the week as a DNP on Friday, but the 2021 second-round pick will play through the injury for Sunday's game. Odeyingbo has accrued 11 tackles (six solo), including 2.0 sacks, and one forced fumble through the first six games of the regular season.

  • Could play in Week 7

    Odeyingbo (hamstring) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Dolphins.

    Analysis: Odeyingbo downgraded from limited practice Thursday to a DNP on Friday, suggesting he could be trending in the wrong direction ahead of Sunday's contest. If the Vanderbilt product is unable to play through his hamstring issue in Week 7, expect 2024 first-round pick Laiatu Latu to start opposite Kwity Paye as part of Indianapolis' top defensive-end duo.

  • Misses Wednesday's practice

    Odeyingbo (hamstring) didn't practice Wednesday.

    Analysis: Odeyingbo returned in the second half of the Colts' Week 6 win over the Titans after sustaining a hamstring injury earlier in the game. However, Wednesday's DNP indicates he's still nursing the issue and could be in jeopardy of missing more time. Odeyingbo will likely need to upgrade to at least limited participation Thursday or Friday in order to suit up for the Colts' Week 7 matchup against the Dolphins.

    Odeyingbo has left Sunday's game against the Titans due to a hamstring injury, Joel A. Erickson of The Indianapolis Star reports.

  • Registers 1.5 sacks vs. Pittsburgh

    Odeyingbo tallied three tackles (one solo), including 1.5 sacks, during Sunday's 27-24 win over the Steelers.

    Analysis: Odeyingbo had a solo sack on quarterback Justin Fields for a four-yard loss late in the second quarter, and the former followed that up with a split sack with Tyquan Lewis (calf) just four plays later. Odeyingbo has logged 50 defensive snaps in each of the last two games, which coincides with Kwity Paye missing time due to a quadriceps injury. Through the first four games of the regular season, Odeyingbo has accumulated nine tackles (five solo), including 2.0 sacks.

    Odeyingbo had one total tackle in Sunday's win over Chicago.

    Analysis: Odeyingbo played on 62 of the defense's 90 snaps, but he had little production with one tackle and just two QB hurries. He's having a slow start to the season with just a half-sack and only six tackles in three games. The 2021 second-round pick had a breakout season last year with eight sacks.

  • Misses practice Tuesday

    Odeyingbo (calf) didn't practice Tuesday, Jake Arthur of Sports Illustrated reports.

    Analysis: Odeyingbo missed his second consecutive practice as he continues to recover from a calf injury.

    Analysis: Odeyingbo is coming off the best season of his three-year career, finishing 2023 with 38 tackles (22 solo), including 8.0 sacks, two passes defended, two forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries across 17 regular-season games.

  • Manages 8.0 sacks in 2023

    Odeyingbo logged 38 tackles (22 solo), 8.0 sacks, two pass breakups, two forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries across 17 regular-season games with the Colts in 2023.

    Analysis: Odeyingbo, a 2021 second-round pick, put together career-high numbers across the board in 2023. He's begun to find success as a key rotational pass rusher in Indianapolis' defensive scheme, and in 2024 Odeyingbo's numbers could uptick again if he's able to more consistently handle above 50 percent of defensive snaps.

  • Registers in sack column Saturday

    Odeyingbo recorded four tackles (two solo) including 1.5 sacks in Saturday's 30-13 win versus the Steelers.

    Analysis: Odeyingbo's performance in Week 15 brought his season sack total up to 8.0, putting him in position to push for double digits in that category in his third NFL season. Atlanta has fielded a run-heavy squad so far this year, though, so he may not get quite so many pass-rushing opportunities in Week 16.

  • Posts career day

    Analysis: Odeybingo had three sacks coming into the day and doubled that total with a single-game career-high against New England. The Vanderbilt product has already surpassed his previous season-best total of five sacks, as his role has incrementally increased each season. Next up for Odeybingo and the Colts face off with the Buccaneers on Sunday, Nov. 26 following a Week 11 bye.

    Odeyingbo had seven total tackles, including 1.5 sacks, a pass defensed and four QB hits in Sunday's overtime loss to the Rams.

    Analysis: Odeyingbo played on 48 of the defense's 82 snaps. He could be set for a larger role in Week 5 against Tennessee if Kwity Paye misses time with a concussion.

    Odeyingbo didn't have a tackle but batted down a pass in Sunday's loss to Jacksonville.

    Analysis: Odeyingbo played on 35 of the defense's 70 snaps, as the Colts had a rotation among defensive ends. He didn't provide much pass rush, however, with no quarterback pressure stats.

  • Puts on weight in offseason

    Odeyingbo said Wednesday that he's up to 285 pounds and indicated that he can feel his Achilles getting stronger now that he's more than two years removed from tearing it, Joel A. Erickson of The Indianapolis Star reports.

    Analysis: The Colts made Odeyingbo a second-round pick in April 2021, three months after he tore his Achilles' tendon while training for the draft. He played only 173 defensive snaps in 10 games as a rookie before progressing to 518 snaps (45.5 percent), 31 tackles and five sacks in 17 games last season.

  • Career high in tackles, sacks

    Odeyingbo recorded five tackles (four solo) and two sacks during Saturday's 39-26 loss to the Vikings.

    Analysis: Despite having played just 47 percent of the Colts' defensive snaps Saturday versus Minnesota, Odeyingbo logged the first multi-sack performance of his career. The second-year defensive end also amassed a career-high five stops this past weekend, so he'll likely retain his usual rotational role on the team's defensive line when Indianapolis hosts the Chargers next Monday night.

  • Just four snaps in season opener

    Odeyingbo had one total tackle and played four snaps on defense in Sunday's tie at Houston.

    Analysis: The Colts selected Odeyingbo in the second round of the 2021 NFL Draft, 54th overall, despite him suffering a torn Achilles' tendon just a few months before the draft. He returned to play in 10 games last season, but he played just 167 snaps and had just six tackles. It looks like he'll begin the season far down the depth chart.

  • Makes practice debut

    Odeyingbo (Achilles) resumed practicing Wednesday, Kevin Bowen of 107.5 the Fan reports.

    Analysis: Odeyingbo is ineligible to play until Week 9, but it's at least encouraging to see him now participating in practice. The rookie second-round pick suffered a torn Achilles while preparing for the NFL Draft.

  • Placed on reserve/NFI list

    The Colts placed Odeyingbo (Achilles) on the reserve/non-football injury list to open the regular season, Joel Erickson of the Indianapolis Star reports.

    Analysis: This move was expected as Odeyingbo tore his Achilles while training for the NFL Draft. The 22-year-old will be inactive for at least the first six weeks of the season after being placed on the reserve/NFI list, but it remains to be seen if that is all the time that he will miss. The rookie wants to play this season, but the Colts will most likely be extremely cautious with their second-round pick.

  • Placed on non-football injury list

    Odeyingbo (Achilles) was placed on the non-football injury list Sunday.

    Analysis: The move isn't much of a surprise since Odeyingbo suffered a torn Achilles tendon in January before being selected 54th overall by the Colts in the draft. The 22-year-old doesn't have an official timeline for his return but hopes to see the field at some point this season.
