Eagles DE Ogbo Okoronkwo Likely Season-Ending Torn Triceps Injury

Philadelphia Eagles defensive end Ogbo Okoronkwo suffered a torn triceps injury during their recent win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, which is expected to sideline him for the remainder of the 2025 NFL season. This injury occurred in the second quarter of the game and will likely place Okoronkwo on injured reserve after further tests to determine severity. Okoronkwo, a seasoned player with prior stints at the Rams, Texans, and Browns, was making his 2025 debut for the Eagles after signing with them in late July following his release from the Browns. His absence adds to the Eagles' defensive challenges, as another edge rusher, Nolan Smith, is also on injured reserve due to a triceps injury and is expected to return in November. The Eagles will now rely on other defenders such as Jalyx Hunt, Za'Darius Smith, Josh Uche, Patrick Johnson, and Azeez Ojulari to fill the void. This development significantly impacts the team's depth and defensive strategy as they prepare to face the Denver Broncos.
