Bobby Okereke

Bobby Okereke signed with the Panthers on Saturday.

Fantasy Impact

The Panthers were looking to add some veteran experience at the linebacker spot, and they did just that with Okereke. The 30-year-old is entering his eighth NFL season. Okereke started all 17 games for the Giants last season, racking up 143 total tackles with two interceptions and one sack.

The Giants reportedly plan to release LB Bobby Okereke.

Okereke was going to enter the last year of a four-year deal he signed in 2023. He is coming off a season where his production took a step back. The Giants will save $9 million in cap space with the move.

Bobby Okereke has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Falcons.

Okereke was unable to practice all week and has been sidelined for the past month. He'll miss at least one more game.

Bobby Okereke remained absent from practice on Thursday.

It is the second straight absence from practice to open the week for Okereke. He'll likely have to practice in some capacity on Friday to have a chance of playing on Sunday against the Falcons.

Bobby Okereke (back) was sidelined at New York's practice on Wednesday.

Fantasy Impact

Okereke was unable to play in Week 15 due to a back injury, and the same issue left him sidelined at practice on Wednesday. New York is dealing with a large number of players on the injury report right now, so their defense may be even weaker than usual in Week 16.
