Eagles Activate Azeez Ojulari Impact Defense in Week 5 Loss to Broncos

Azeez Ojulari made his Philadelphia Eagles debut in Week 5 against the Denver Broncos after being inactive for the first four games of the 2025 season. Injuries to key edge rushers Nolan Smith and Ogbo Okoronkwo led to Ojulari's activation and significant playing time, where he impressed with three tackles, a tackle for loss, and a quarterback hit during his 34 snaps. Despite a quiet training camp and a lower position on the depth chart, Ojulari's performance suggests he could earn a larger role in the Eagles' pass-rush rotation moving forward. On offense, Jalen Hurts, Jordan Mailata, and Cam Jurgens played every offensive snap, while DeVonta Smith led the team in targets, receptions, and receiving yards. The Eagles' defense saw one of its highest snap counts since Vic Fangio became defensive coordinator due to difficulties getting off the field and the offense's limited time of possession. New long snapper Cal Adomitis made his team debut, and the Eagles maintained a tight active roster with only four wide receivers available for the game.
