  • Lands in New York

    Okereke is expected to sign a four-year, $40 million deal with the Giants, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Okereke will also get $22 million in guaranteed money. His tackle total increased in each of his years with the Colts, and last year, he recorded 151 stops. Although he was listed as a weak-side linebacker in Indianapolis, his exact position with New York is unclear. However, expect New York to use his speed to weaponize him as a tackler. He should be a high-end IDP option on his new team.

  • Notches 151 tackles in 2022

    Okereke recorded a career-high 151 tackles (99 solo), five passes defended and two fumble recoveries while playing all 17 games in the 2022 season.

    Analysis: Okereke had more responsibility this regular season with star linebacker Shaquille Leonard (neck/back) sidelined for all but three games. As a result, the 26-year-old Okereke logged his most productive season as a tackler, including five games with double-digit stops. While the 225-pound linebacker did stack up the 10th-most tackles in the league this season, he still finished as the Colts' second-leading tackler behind Zaire Franklin (167). Nevertheless, this career-best campaign should set up…read more

  • Tops career year with huge outing

    Okereke recorded 17 tackles (12 solo) and one forced fumble in Sunday's 38-10 defeat versus the Giants.

    Analysis: Okereke set new career highs for tackles in both a game and a season, as he has reached 146 over 16 games this season. The fourth-year linebacker stepped up in a big way with star Shaquille Leonard (back) out for most of the year with an injury. Okereke still ranks second on the Colts in tackles this season behind Zaire Franklin (160), and these two should continue to put up big stats so long as the team doesn't rest its starters Week 18 against Houston.

  • Logs nine tackles in loss

    Okereke recorded nine tackles (seven solo) in Monday's 20-3 loss to the Chargers.

    Analysis: It is the fourth time this season Okereke logged nine tackles and the third of the four times that six of those tackles were solo. He was able to put that production together across 50 defensive snaps (74 percent). The 26-year-old will look to continue producing in Week 17 when the Colts take on the Giants.

  • Reaches game-high 12 stops

    Okereke recorded 12 tackles (six solo) and one pass defensed during Saturday's 39-36 overtime loss to the Vikings.

    Analysis: Okereke continues to produce this season in the tackling department, as his game-high 12 stops versus Minnesota now gives him 120 on the campaign. The 235-pound linebacker also played a season-high 82 snaps this past weekend, but he'll now have until next Monday to rest up before Indianapolis hosts the Chargers.

  • Pedestrian outing in blowout

    Okereke tallied seven tackles (four solo) during Sunday's 54-19 defeat versus Dallas.

    Analysis: Okereke finished with the Colts' third-most tackles behind defensive end Kwity Paye and fellow linebacker Zaire Franklin. The 26-year-old Okereke now has 108 tackles, four passes defended, one forced fumble and two fumble recoveries over 13 games this season. He'll look to continue this career-best campaign following Indianapolis' Week 14 bye.

  • Produces nine stops Sunday

    Okereke recorded nine tackles (four solo) in Sunday's 17-16 loss to the Eagles.

    Analysis: Okereke logged the second-most stops for the Colts in Week 11, just behind the NFL's tackling leader Zaire Franklin's 12. The 26-year-old continues to play an every-down role for Indianapolis' defense this season, and that isn't bound to change Monday night against the Steelers.

  • Second-leading tackler Sunday

    Okereke recorded nine tackles (six solo) and one pass defended during Sunday's 25-20 win over the Raiders.

    Analysis: Okereke recorded just one fewer stop than leading tackler Zaire Franklin on Sunday. The 26-year-old Okereke also lined up on every defensive snap with star linebacker Shaquille Leonard (neck) out, and he'll likely continue to play an every-down role after Leonard underwent season-ending surgery Tuesday. He should have a chance to put up another big stat line this coming Sunday against the Eagles.

  • Totals eight stops Sunday

    Okereke recorded eight tackles (four solo) during Sunday's 17-16 loss to the Commanders.

    Analysis: Despite playing a season-low 61 percent of the Colts' defensive snaps, Okereke still tied Zaire Franklin and Rodney McLeod for the team's second-most tackles behind Kenny Moore in Week 8. The 26-year-old Okereke played 400 defensive snaps over the first seven weeks of the season, though he could see decreased playing time after star linebacker Shaquille Leonard returned from a lingering back injury Sunday.

  • Recovers fumble in loss

    Okereke tallied 10 tackles (six solo), two passes defended and a fumble recovery during Sunday's 19-0 loss to the Titans.

    Analysis: Okereke collected his first turnover of the season as he jumped on a fumble from Tennessee quarterback Ryan Tannehill in the fourth quarter. The 26-year-old linebacker also notched his second straight double-digit tackle performance, as he played every defensive snap for the third time in seven contests this season. Okereke has now compiled 65 tackles and three passes defended on 462 snaps in 2022.

  • Absent from injury report

    Okereke (hand) was not listed on the Colts' practice report Wednesday.

    Analysis: Okereke exited with a hand injury during the first half of Sunday's win over the Jaguars, though he finished this contest with a team-high 13 tackles. The fourth-year linebacker was also unaffected by this issue Wednesday, and he should have a chance to post similarly high numbers if All-Pro Shaquille Leonard (concussion/nose/back) misses his sixth game of the season Sunday versus Tennessee.

  • Exits versus Jaguars

    Okereke is questionable to return to Sunday's game against Jacksonville with a hand injury, Joel A. Erickson of The Indianapolis Star reports.

    Analysis: Okereke recorded four tackles before exiting with this injury at some point during the first half. Expect E.J. Speed to play a larger role while the starting weakside linebacker is sidelined.

  • Eight tackles in loss

    Okereke posted eight tackles (five solo) during Sunday's 24-17 loss to the Titans.

    Analysis: Okereke played a season-low 69 percent of the team's defensive snaps but still finished with at least seven tackles for a fourth consecutive contest to start the year.

    Analysis: Okereke now has recorded double-digit tackles for the seventh time in his four-year career. Sunday's effort brings the 26-year-old to 18 (15 solo) on the season, putting him on pace to outdo his previous career-best 132 tackles last year. Okereke will look to keep rolling in a tough Week 3 matchup with the Chiefs.

  • Finishes with 132 tackles

    Okereke tallied 132 tackles (89 solo), four pass deflections, two interceptions and one sack in 17 appearances during the 2021 campaign.

    Analysis: Okereke appeared in every game and nearly played every single defensive snap during the Colts' up-and-down campaign. He recorded double-digit tackles in four games en route to his first ever season with 100-plus tackles. The 25-year-old has one year remaining on his rookie contract, so he's expected to be back in the middle of Indianapolis' defense next year, which should mean he'll be a consistent producer in IDP leagues once again.

    Okereke does not have an injury designation for Saturday's game against New England.

    Analysis: Okereke was unable to practice to start the week due to an illness, though he returned for a full session Thursday. As a result, he should be ready to maintain a key role in the middle of the Colts' defense Saturday against New England. Across 13 games this season, Okereke has recorded 107 tackles, three passes defended, one sack and one interception.

  • Absent from practice Tuesday

    Okereke (illness) did not participate at Tuesday's practice.

    Analysis: The middle linebacker popped up on the injury report Tuesday, missing practice with a non-COVID illness. With the Colts' next game coming Saturday versus the Patriots, Okereke's participation in the coming days is worth monitoring. If he can't go in Week 15, E.J. Speed and Matthew Adams would likely step into larger roles at linebacker.

    Analysis: Okereke has now posted five consecutive games with at least seven tackles, and he's only had one game with fewer than five stops all season. Coming up Week 13, the every-down linebacker will look to contain a Texans team that's proven severely inconsistent on offense.

    Okereke started at middle linebacker and had seven total tackles in Sunday's loss to Seattle.

    Analysis: Okereke looked set to be the starting middle linebacker this season with the departure of Anthony Walker in free agency, and early camp reports have confirmed this move.

  • Moves to middle linebacker

    Okereke looks set to be the starting middle linebacker this season with the departure of Anthony Walker in free agency, Stepheh Holder of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Zaire Franklin will move from middle linebacker to strong-side linebacker as a result, though the strong-side role could be an open competition in training camp. Okereke had 72 total tackles and an interception mostly playing the weak-side role last season, so the move could boost his fantasy value.

    Okereke (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Raiders, George Bremer of The Anderson Herald Bulletin reports.

    Analysis: Okereke is coming off back-to-back absences due to a lingering ankle injury, but it looks like he has a fair shot to return versus Las Vegas. If cleared to play, Okereke stands to resume handling a starting role in Indianapolis' linebacker corps.

    Analysis: The 24-year-old linebacker underwent surgery on his thumb earlier this week but has been able to make a prompt return to practice, albeit with a club-like cast on his left hand. Okereke has logged three starts this season, playing at least 80 percent of the defensive snaps in Weeks 2, 3 and 4.
