Steelers Add Defensive Starter to Injury Report
Pittsburgh Steelers Injury Updates: Defensive tackle Larry Ogunjobi has been added to the injury report with a groin issue.
PITTSBURGH — An often-injured member of the Pittsburgh Steelers defensive line has been added to the team’s injury report midweek. Defensive tackle Larry Ogunjobi was added to the injury report with a groin issue after being a limited participant in practice on Thursday.
The extent of Ogunjobi’s injury is unknown. The 30-year-old played in all 17 games for the Steelers in 2023, but has fought through numerous maladies throughout his NFL career, including a foot sprain in 2021 that cost him a playoff run in Cincinnati and later invalidated a free agent contract he signed with the Chicago Bears in 2022. That’s how the Steelers first landed Ogunjobi, and while he has missed just one game for the team over two plus seasons, he has frequently played at less than 100%.
Through four games this season, Ogunjobi has record 14 tackles, 1 for a loss, three quarterback hits and one-half sack. If he is unable to play this week, Keeanu Benton would likely see a larger role in the team’s sub packages and Isaiahh Loudermilk appears to be in line to step up in the base defense.
