Washington Commanders edge rusher Efe Obada (leg) suffered a fractured right leg in the Week 11 game against the New York Giants and will not return. Obada had to be carted off the field in the first quarter with an injury that will most likely end his 2023 season. It's a tough break for a Commanders defensive line that already traded away Chase Young and Montez Sweat. The 31-year-old Obada didn't record any stats in this game before fracturing his leg. He came into Sunday's divisional contest with just two tackles (one solo) in four games played in his second season with Washington. K.J. Henry and Andre Jones are in line for more playing time with Obada out.
The Buffalo Bills agreed to terms with former Carolina Panthers defensive end Efe Obada on an undisclosed one-year deal on Wednesday. Obada spent the last four years with the Panthers. He became the first player in NFL history to officially make a pro roster coming from the International Pathway Program when he made the team's 53-man roster in 2018. He's also had stints with the Dallas Cowboys, Kansas City Chiefs and Atlanta Falcons. Obada has appeared in 42 career games (only one start) and has 50 tackles (eight for loss), 7.5 sacks, two fumble recoveries, one forced fumble and an interception. He had 18 tackles and 5.5 sacks last season with Carolina.
