He came back by the end of that rookie season to play the final two games of the regular season and record his first NFL sack in a Week 18 game against the Cincinnati Bengals.<\/p>\n<p>The injury bug struck Ojabo again early in 2023. He suffered a torn ACL in a knee three weeks into his second season. He made his lone career start in the game in which he got hurt against the Indianapolis Colts.<\/p>\n<p>Ojabo has mostly been healthy the past two seasons, but he hasn\u2019t returned to starting status with the Ravens or the player who once was projected as a potential first-round selection. He had two sacks in 2024 and has 4 \u00bd for his career.<\/p>\n<p>Ojabo has played 471 defensive snaps for Baltimore over the past two seasons. Last year, he made a career-high 16 tackles.<\/p>\n<p>In college at Michigan, Ojabo notched a whopping 11 sacks in the 2021 season to make him a coveted player in the 2022 draft class.<\/p>\n<p>At edge rusher, the Dolphins <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sun-sentinel.com\/2026\/03\/11\/dolphins-add-veteran-pass-rushing-help-to-short-handed-position\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">already signed Josh Uche<\/a>, a former Miami Columbus High standout who also played college football with the Wolverines.<\/p>\n<p>Leading into free agency, there was a point when only 2024 first-round pick Chop Robinson was on the roster at the position. Along with Uche, the Dolphins are bringing back outside linebacker Cameron Goode.
