Alex Okafor News
Free-agent pass-rusher Alex Okafor signed an undisclosed one-year deal to return to the Kansas City Chiefs on Tuesday, according to a source. Okafor signed a three-year deal with the Chiefs in 2019, but he restructured his contract before the 2020 campaign and hit free agency this offseason after his second year with the team. The 30-year-old former fourth-round pick of the Arizona Cardinals in 2013 played in just 21 games (nine starts) the last two years in KC due to injuries, but he's been productive when on the field and had eight sacks combined in 2019 and 2020. Okafor will likely play a rotational role on Kansas City's defensive line in his third straight season with the team.
Kansas City Chiefs defensive end Alex Okafor (hamstring) has been ruled out for the remainder of Mondays contest versus Buffalo after exiting in the first half with a hamstring injury. Additionally, offensive lineman Mitchell Schwartz (back) has also been ruled out, further hampering the Kansas City o-line. Okafor made his sixth tackle of the season prior to his departure, with Tanoh Kpassagnon likely to see a larger workload on the edge for the remainder of the contest. Despite some injury blows to the Chiefs Defense, the team should be in a prime season-long fantasy spot over the coming weeks with matchups against the Broncos, Jets, and Panthers on the horizon.
New Orleans Saints defensive end Alex Okafor (ankle, knee) was diagnosed with a sprained ankle and knee bone bruise after he underwent an MRI exam on Wednesday, according to sources informed of the situation. He's considered week-to-week and it's unclear when he'll return to practice. Okafor is coming off a torn Achilles in Week 11 of last year, but he was having a strong year before the injury, tallying 43 tackles, 4.5 sacks and two forced fumbles. A fully healthy season for Okafor could put him on the IDP map, but he's a big injury risk.
