News

  • Heading to Indy

    Ebukam is set to sign a three-year, $27 million deal with the Colts, Mike Chappell of Fox 59 News Indianapolis reports.

    Analysis: Ebukam is coming off a productive two-year stint with the 49ers after spending his first four seasons with the Rams. The defensive end recorded 74 tackles (42 solo), 9.5 sacks, two forced fumbles and a fumble recovery in 32 games over the last two years. He figures to play a big role on the Colts' defensive line in 2023.

  • No injury designation

    Ebukam doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's divisional-round matchup against the Cowboys, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Ebukam left the 49ers' wild-card win over Seattle with an ankle injury and didn't return, though head coach Kyle Shanahan said the defensive end may have returned if the score had been closer. It appears the issue was indeed minor, as Ebukam logged a full practice Friday following back-to-back limited sessions and has been cleared for Sunday's playoff matchup.

  • Labeled day-to-day

    Head coach Kyle Shanahan said Monday that Ebukam (ankle) is considered day-to-day prior to this weekend's NFC divisional round, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Although Ebukam departed Saturday's win over Seattle with an ankle issue, Shanahan noted that the sixth-year pro may have been able to return to the contest if the score was closer. With that being said, it currently sounds as if Ebukam will be available to play against the winner of Monday's matchup between the Buccaneers and the Cowboys, but his activity levels in practice throughout the week should correspond with his weekend availability.

  • Hurts ankle Saturday

    Ebukam injured his ankle during Saturday's 41-23 wild-card win against the Seahawks, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

    Analysis: Coach Kyle Shanahan noted Ebukam may have been able to return if the game was close, but the defensive end finished with no stats to speak of. Considering Shanahan's comment, Ebukam's status for the divisional round likely isn't in question, but his practice reps nonetheless will be monitored as the week goes on.

  • Set to play Sunday

    Ebukam (quadriceps) does not carry an injury status ahead of Sunday's game against the Saints, David Lombardi of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Ebukam is set to return after missing San Francisco's last two games with a quadriceps injury. The 27-year-old played 302 defensive snaps over the first eight weeks of the season, recording 29 tackles and 3.5 sacks over that span. Ebukam should reprise a prominent pass-rushing role opposite star defensive end Nick Bosa in Week 12.

  • Ruled out Week 11

    Ebukam (quadriceps) has been ruled inactive ahead of Monday's game against the Cardinals.

    Analysis: Ebukam picked a quadriceps injury ahead of San Francisco's Week 9 bye, leaving him sidelined for the first time this season against the Chargers in Week 10. While he was able to return to practice in a limited fashion Friday, the defensive end will now miss his second straight contest, leaving Charles Omenihu and Jordan Willis to once again play increased roles Week 11. Ebukam's next chance to play will come versus New Orleans on Sunday

  • Logs limited practice

    Ebukam (quadriceps) practiced in limited fashion Friday, 49ers Webzone reports.

    Analysis: Ebukam missed the 49ers' Week 10 matchup against Los Angeles but managed to return to practice Friday. While it is an encouraging step forward, Ebukam's status will become clearer with Saturday's injury report. Prior to going down, he managed 29 total tackles with 3.5 sacks across eight games.

  • Doesn't practice Thursday

    Ebukam (quadriceps) was unable to practice Thursday, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

    Analysis: Ebukam picked up a quad injury over the 49ers' bye week and was unable to play in Week 10 against the Chargers. The defensive end hasn't been able to practice so far leading up to Week 11, so expect Drake Jackson and Jordan Willis to see increased roles once again if Ebukam's status doesn't improve.

  • Unavailable Sunday

    Ebukam (quadriceps) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Chargers, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

    Analysis: Ebukam was doubtful ahead of Sunday's matchup and will officially be unable to suit up in primetime. Drake Jackson and Jordan Willis are candidates to see increased playing time against the Chargers.

  • Unlikely to play Sunday

    Ebukam (quadriceps) is considered doubtful to play in Sunday's game against the Chargers, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

    Analysis: Ebukam sustained a quad injury Monday coming off the 49ers' bye week and did not practice Wednesday or Thursday as a result. The 27-year-old defensive end did return to practice in a limited fashion Friday, though he may still need more time to fully recover from this issue. If Ebukam cannot play, expect Drake Jackson, Kerry Hyder and Charles Omenihu to all step up into increased roles against the Chargers.

  • Suffering from quad injury

    Ebukam did not participate in practice Wednesday due to a quad injury.

    Analysis: Ebukam was bothered by an Achilles injury through much of October but didn't need to miss any games. He had time to rest during San Francisco's Week 9 bye but picked up a quad injury Monday, per David Lombardi of The Athletic. The severity of the injury is uncertain, but if Ebukam can't play Sunday night against the Chargers, it would be a big blow to San Francisco's defensive line, with Arik Armstead (foot) also questionable for the contest.

  • No injury designation for Week 8

    Ebukam doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's matchup against the Rams, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Ebukam was unable to practice Wednesday due to an Achilles injury he picked up during the team's Week 7 loss to the Chiefs, but he was able to log a limited session Thursday and was upgraded to a full participant Friday. Across seven appearances, the sixth-year defensive end has totaled 26 tackles, 3.5 sacks and one forced fumble across 261 defensive snaps.

  • Limited Thursday

    Ebukam (Achilles) was limited at practice Thursday, David Lombardi of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: After playing through an injury Sunday against Kansas City, Ebukam was forced to miss practice Wednesday due to an Achilles injury. If the defensive end is able to log a full practice Friday, he should have a good chance to play Sunday against the Rams.

  • Misses practice

    Ebukam (Achilles) did not practice Wednesday, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

    Analysis: Ebukam played through his injury in Sunday's game against Atlanta and had been practicing in a limited capacity. It's clear he needs to recover more before suiting up and taking the field for Sunday's game, but he will have two more practice opportunities prior to it.

  • Cleared for Week 7

    Ebukam (Achilles) does not have an injury designation for Sunday's battle against Kansas City, Matt McMullen of the Chiefs' official site reports.

    Analysis: Ebukam's Achilles injury first came on the radar last week, but he was able to play this past Sunday against Atlanta. He missed the first practice this week before logging a limited session Thursday and participating in full Friday. The sixth-year veteran already is one sack shy of his career high with 3.5 through six games this season, and he'll try to build upon that this weekend.

  • Back at practice Thursday

    Ebukam (Achilles) was listed as a limited participant on the 49ers' injury report Thursday, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Ebukam sat out practice Wednesday with an Achilles injury that first arose following San Francisco's Week 5 win over Carolina. The defensive end was also limited in practice last Thursday and Friday before suiting up against the Falcons on Sunday, so he could be following a similar practice schedule in Week 7. Nevertheless, it will be worth monitoring Ebukam's status on the 49ers' final injury report ahead of this Sunday's contest against Kansas City.

  • Still dealing with injury

    Ebukam (Achilles) did not participate during the 49ers' practice Wednesday, David Lombardi of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Ebukam was sidelined with an Achilles issue in practice last Wednesday and was a limited participant Thursday and Friday before playing in Sunday's loss to the Falcons. While he was able to match his season high with 45 defensive snaps played in this contest, the 27-year-old still seems to be working through this injury. Ebukam has now recorded 22 tackles, 3.5 sacks and a forced fumble over six games this season, and he'll have two more practices to improve his status before this Sunday versus…read more

  • Season-high eight tackles in loss

    Ebukam totaled eight tackles (five solo), including two tackles for loss, in Sunday's 28-14 loss to Atlanta.

    Analysis: Ebukam was limited in practice by an Achilles injury during the week but managed to suit up and put forth a strong performance in the loss. The 27-year-old pass rusher failed to add to his season total of 3.5 sacks but set a single-game season high in tackles while playing a season-high 81 percent of San Francisco's defensive snaps.

  • Returns in limited fashion

    Ebukam (Achilles) was a limited participant during the 49ers' practice Thursday, David Lombardi of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Ebukam suited up in Week 5 after being listed as questionable due to a hamstring injury, though he did not practice Wednesday due to a new Achilles issue. While the exact nature and severity of this injury are still unclear, the 27-year-old's ability to practice again in any capacity is an encouraging sign for his availability against Atlanta on Sunday. Ebukam has totaled 14 tackles and 3.5 sacks while playing 173 of his 188 snaps on defense this season, and his presence in Week 6 could prove…read more

  • Doesn't practice Wednesday

    Ebukam didn't practice Wednesday due to an Achilles injury, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Ebukam dealt with a hamstring injury ahead of Week 5, but he still suited up and recorded two tackles across a season-high 45 defensive snaps. However, he appears to have picked up an Achilles issue during the contest as well. The extent of the situation remains unclear, but if he doesn't return to practice Thursday or Friday, Ebukam will be in jeopardy of missing Week 6.

  • Active for Week 5

    Ebukam (hamstring) is active for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Keiana Martin of the 49ers' official site reports.

    Analysis: Ebukam practiced in limited fashion Friday after missing the first two sessions of the week, but that will be enough for him to suit up Sunday. Through four games this season, he has recorded 12 total tackles.

  • Questionable against Cardinals

    Ebukam (hamstring) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Cardinals.

    Analysis: Ebukam didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday but returned to practice in a limited capacity Friday. Arden Key will likely see additional snaps if the 2017 fourth-rounder is unable to suit up against Arizona.

  • Misses practice Wednesday

    Ebukam (hamstring) did not participate in the 49ers' practice Wednesday, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

    Analysis: Ebukam was forced to miss most of August with a knee injury but has been relatively healthy for the month of September. The severity of the linebacker's hamstring injury is uncertain at this point, but Arden Key likely would take over Ebukam's depth role if he can't play Sunday at Arizona.

  • Off injury report

    Ebukam (knee) isn't listed on the 49ers' injury report Wednesday.

    Analysis: Ebukam has been dealing with a knee injury for most of August, but he is finally off the injured list ahead of San Francisco's season opener against the Lions. Ebukam will likely fill a depth role in the opener if he remains healthy.

  • Nursing knee injury

    Ebukam didn't practice Tuesday due to a right knee injury, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Ebukam has been sitting out practice the past few days due to the injury and remained sidelined at Tuesday's session. It's become increasingly unlikely the 26-year-old will be available for Saturday's preseason opener versus the Chiefs.

  • Dealing with swelling in leg

    Coach Kyle Shanahan said Sunday that Ebukam has been sidelined in practice recently due to swelling in his leg, David Lombardi of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Shanahan compared Ebukam's injury to normal wear and tear players experience early in training camp, but the team has elected to give him some rest as a precautionary measure. Although the 2017 fourth-rounder doesn't appear to be facing a long-term absence, it's not yet clear whether the injury will impact his availability for Saturday's exhibition game against the Chiefs.

  • Misses practice

    Ebukam was sidelined at Friday's practice due to lower-body soreness, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Ebukam tallied 4.5 sacks in each of the past two seasons with the Rams before jumping ship to division-rival San Francisco this offseason. He is now looking to secure a role providing depth on the team's defensive line in 2021. His absence from practice due to lower-body soreness is not too surprising, as everyone's bodies are adjusting to training camp being in full swing. Still, it would be advantageous for a guy fighting for a job to return to the field sooner than later.

  • Headed to San Fran

    Ebukam agreed to a two-year contract worth up to $13.5 million with the 49ers on Monday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: San Francisco got a first-hand look at Ebukam with the NFC West rival Rams over the past four seasons, and the 49ers evidently came away impressed with what the outside linebacker can do. Ebukam totaled 4.5 sacks in each of the past two seasons in Los Angeles, and the Nigerian will likely play a similar rotational role with his new team.

  • Notches 4.5 sacks again

    Ebukam managed 31 tackles (18 solo), 4.5 sacks, one pass breakup and one forced fumble across 16 games in 2020.

    Analysis: Ebukam has now logged back-to-back seasons with 4.5 sacks. The 25-year-old has been a dependable contributor in Los Angeles' linebacker corps over the last four years, though he's enjoyed a large enough role to carry real fantasy value in IDP leagues. Next, Ebukam is scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent in March.

  • Record first full sack

    Ebukam had three solo tackles and a sack during Monday's win over the Buccaneers.

    Analysis: The 25-year-old brought down Tom Brady during the third quarter for the Rams' only sack of the contest. Ebukam has 18 tackles (10 solo) and 1.5 sacks while filling a rotational role through 10 games.

  • Quiet campaign continues

    Ebukam recorded three tackles (one solo) during Sunday's 28-17 loss to Miami.

    Analysis: The fourth-year linebacker has 13 tackles (six solo) through eight games and has played just 37 defensive snaps the past two weeks. Ebukam projects to continue seeing limited opportunities with first-year defensive coordinator Brandon Staley utilizing his defensive backs more frequently. The shift in personnel is cutting into Ebukam's playing time and cratering any fantasy potential he had.

  • Finishes with 4.5 sacks

    Ebukam had 48 tackles (26 solo), 4.5 sacks, one forced fumble and two fumble recoveries in 16 games this season.

    Analysis: The 24-year-old started five games but mostly worked as a rotational edge rusher. Ebukam got off to a slow start and didn't have a sack through Week 11, but he recorded 4.5 sacks over the last six games. Ebukam is under contract for one more season and could see a larger role in 2020 if Dante Fowler goes elsewhere in free agency, though the team could still make an addition at outside linebacker via the draft or free agency.

  • Registers 1.5 sacks Monday

    Ebukam racked up a season-high eight tackles (three solo) and 1.5 sacks in Monday's 45-6 loss to the Ravens.

    Analysis: The Rams failed to contain Lamar Jackson and the rest of the Ravens' offense, but Ebukam managed to collect his first 1.5 sacks of the season. He logged 44 defensive snaps as well, more than doubling his involvement from the Rams' previous tilt against the Bears.
