News

  • Joins active roster

    Ingram was signed to the 53-man roster from the Dolphins' practice squad Wednesday.

    Analysis: Ingram was elevated each of the last three weeks from the practice squad, seeing a regular role in Miami's linebacker corps, recording seven tackles (six solo) and 1.5 sacks in the process. With the team dealing with multiple injuries to the position, and most recently losing Andrew Van Ginkel (foot), Cameron Goode (kneecap) and Jerome Baker (wrist) for the rest of the season to injuries suffered Week 18 against the Bills, Ingram should have a significant role when Dolphins take the field…read more

  • Returns to practice squad

    Ingram reverted to the Dolphins' practice squad Monday.

    Analysis: Ingram played 58 of Miami's 78 defensive snaps in Sunday's 21-14 loss to the Bills, recording five tackles, including 1.5 sacks, in the contest. Both Andrew Van Ginkel (foot) and Cameron Goode (knee) suffered significant injuries versus Buffalo, so the 34-year-old may be asked to return to the active roster for the team's matchup with the Chiefs in the wild-card round on Saturday.

  • Back to practice squad

    The Dolphins reverted Ingram to the practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

    Analysis: Ingram was called up for the second straight week. He played 16 defensive snaps in Sunday's 56-19 loss to the Ravens and did not record a stat. Ingram is eligible to be elevated to the active roster for the Dolphins' regular-season finale against the Bills on Sunday night.

  • Elevated for Week 16

    Ingram was elevated from Miami's practice squad Saturday.

    Analysis: Ingram will join the active roster for Sunday's game against the Cowboys. He could make his 2023 debut versus Dallas after signing with Miami's practice squad earlier in December. The veteran linebacker had 6.0 sacks in 17 games for Miami last season.

  • Returns to Miami

    Ingram signed with the Dolphins' practice squad Tuesday, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Ingram appeared in all 17 games with the Dolphins last season, recording 22 tackles and six sacks, but has remained a free agent since the 2022 season ended. He'll now get an opportunity to help Miami's linebacker corps in the final weeks of the season and could potentially be elevated to the active roster for the team's Week 15 matchup with the Jets.

  • Sacks Allen twice

    Ingram notched three solo tackles and two sacks, along with one forced fumble and one fumble recovery, during Sunday's 21-19 win over Buffalo.

    Analysis: Ingram logged another performance as an impact player on Miami's defense, handling a season-high 62 percent of defensive snaps. Through three contests the veteran looks like a standout free agency acquisition, and he'll have an opportunity to keep his momentum up versus Joe Burrow and the Bengals on Thursday Night Football.

  • Scoop and score in Week 1

    Ingram recorded two tackles and a fumble recovery for a touchdown during Miami's season-opening win over New England on Sunday.

    Analysis: Ingram recovered a fumble by Patriots quarterback Mac Jones before walking into the end zone for a two-yard touchdown. The starting linebacker played 32 of the Dolphins' 57 defensive snaps Sunday, and he should make an impact as a pass rusher along the edge of the team's defensive front this season.

  • Will make K.C. debut Sunday

    Ingram (groin) is active for Sunday's contest against the Packers, Adam Teicher of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Ingram was traded to the Chiefs on Tuesday, and he will make his debut for his new team Sunday. Coach Andy Reid said the 2012 first-round pick "looked good" at practice, but it's unclear if he will be limited during the Chiefs' Week 9 matchup with the Packers. After recording at least seven sacks in five straight seasons, Ingram has recorded just one over his last 13 appearances.

  • Expects to make K.C. debut Sunday

    Ingram (groin) is expected to make his Chiefs debut Sunday against the Packers, Adam Teicher of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Ingram has reportedly "looked good" at practice, according to coach Andy Reid. The veteran linebacker will look to make an immediate impact on a Chiefs defense that has struggled throughout this season. Expect Ingram to be available Sunday, but it's not yet known if the three-time Pro Bowler will be limited in any capacity.

  • Officially traded to Kansas City

    The Steelers traded Ingram (groin) to Kansas City on Tuesday in exchange for a 2022 sixth-round draft pick.

    Analysis: Ingram reportedly requested a trade out of Pittsburgh, and the team was able to get a deal done ahead of Tuesday's deadline. Kansas City is doubtless hoping that the 32-year-old veteran's presence will help address some of the defense's pass-rush woes, though a calf injury held Ingram out in Week 8. He may still have to pass a physical, but it wouldn't be surprising to see him play a substantial role as early as Sunday's matchup against the Packers. Of course, it's worth noting that the…read more

  • Reportedly joining K.C.

    Ingram (groin) is reportedly being traded to Kansas City on Tuesday, Josina Anderson of USA Today reports.

    Analysis: Ingram did not suit up for the Steelers against the Browns in Week 8 due to a groin injury, so he will likely need to pass a physical before either team officially announces a trade. However, it appears that the deal's terms are effectively finalized, as Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports that K.C. will give up a sixth-round pick in exchange for Ingram. The veteran pass rusher only managed one sack during his first six games with the Steelers, but he still boasts the talent to provide a…read more

  • Ruled out

    Ingram (groin) has been downgraded to out for Sunday's matchup with the Browns, Burt Lauten of the Steelers' communication group repots.

    Analysis: Ingram was originally deemed doutbful for the contest, so no surprise here. In his absence, look for Derrek Tuszka to see some increased snaps providing depth behind T.J. Watt and Alex Highsmith.

  • Doubtful for Week 8

    Ingram (groin) is doubtful for Sunday's divisional matchup against the Browns, Brian Batko of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

    Analysis: Ingram was a limited participant in practice Wednesday and Thursday, but he didn't practice Friday and is officially doubtful for Sunday. If he is ruled out for Week 8, expect Derrek Tuszka to see increased snaps in a reserve role behind T.J. Watt and Alex Highsmith

  • Records sack in Week 2

    Ingram totaled four tackles (one solo) and one sack in Sunday's 26-17 loss to the Raiders.

    Analysis: Ingram was limited to just one solo tackle in addition to a pass defense in his Steelers debut last week, but he brought down quarterback Derek Carr on Sunday for his first sack since 2019. The 32-year-old came off the bench against the Raiders, but he'll likely take on a starting role if T.J. Watt (groin) is forced to miss additional time.

  • Links up with Steelers

    Ingram is signing a one-year contract with the Steelers, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: The 32-year-old Ingram is a low-cost replacement for Bud Dupree, who signed with the Titans earlier this offseason after recording 19.5 sacks in his final two years with the Steelers. Ingram had no sacks during his seven-game, injury-riddled 2020 campaign, but he'd previously put up five straight seasons with seven or more, including double digits in 2015 and 2017. Still, he won't necessarily be handed a starting job in Pittsburgh, considering the team has 2020 third-round pick Alex Highsmith…read more

  • Done for year

    Ingram (knee) will miss the remainder of the season, Jeff Miller of the Los Angeles Times reports.

    Analysis: Ingram last saw the field in Week 11. He was operating at less than 100 percent all season and failed to rack up a sack in seven appearances after totaling at least seven sacks in each of the previous five seasons.

  • Will miss at least three weeks

    The Chargers placed Ingram (knee) on injured reserve Friday, Jeff Miller of the Los Angeles Times reports.

    Analysis: Ingram played a season-high 92 percent of the snaps on defense in last week's win over the Jets, but he apparently suffered a knee injury in the process. He's not eligible to return until Week 15, a Thursday night game against the Raiders. With Uchenna Nwosu (shoulder) also out Week 12, Isaac Rochell figures to start opposite Joey Bosa on Los Angeles' defensive line.

  • Dealing with knee injury

    Ingram (knee) didn't participate in Wednesday's practice, Jeff Miller of the Los Angeles Times reports.

    Analysis: Ingram endured an IR stint earlier in the season because of a knee injury. It's unclear if this is related. With Uchenna Nwosu (chest/shoulder) already ruled out for Week 12, Isaac Rochell figures to start at defensive end if Ingram is ruled out.

  • Taken off IR

    Ingram (knee) was activated off injured reserve Saturday.

    Analysis: Ingram's return is a significant one considering the Chargers' alarming inability to stop the run as of late. Justin Jones (shoulder), who was also activated off injured reserve Saturday, should help against the run, but Ingram's presence is surely a positive sign for running mate and oft-injured pass rusher Joey Bosa as well.

  • Labeled game-time decision

    Coach Anthony Lynn said Friday that Ingram (knee) is a game-time decision for Sunday's contest against the Jaguars, Gilbert Manzano of The Orange County Register reports.

    Analysis: The Chargers will reportedly decide Saturday whether to place Ingram on the 53-man roster, a necessary prelude to him returning Sunday. The veteran defensive end hasn't played since Week 2 due to his lingering knee injury, and he'll be on a snap count even if he does manage to get the green light against Jacksonville.

  • Will be on snap count if he plays

    Coach Anthony Lynn is hopeful that Ingram (knee) will play Sunday against the Jaguars but added that Ingram will be on a snap count if he plays, Gilbert Manzano of the Orange County Register reports.

    Analysis: Ingram will need to be removed from IR before he can suit up, though his return to practice Monday paved the way for Ingram to come off IR if he impresses in practice this week. Even on a limited snap count, Ingram is capable of being a major difference-maker, as he recorded at least seven sacks in each of the previous five seasons.

  • Set to return from IR

    Ingram (knee) was designated to return from injured reserve Monday, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.

    Analysis: Ingram spent the requisite time on injured reserve and is eligible to return Sunday versus the Jaguars. It looks like he has a good chance to suit up as long as the practice week goes as planned, so it's worth monitoring his progress starting Wednesday. If he's good to go, Ingram will bring a fierce pass rush against a vulnerable Jaguars offensive line that has allowed Gardner Minshew to get sacked 17 times through six contests.

  • Could return after IR minimum

    Coach Anthony Lynn said he hopes Ingram (knee) will be ready to return after spending the three-week minimum on injured reserve, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: The 31-year-old was placed on injured reserve Saturday with what's been described as "knee soreness," and he remains without an official timeline for his return. Ingram will at least be unavailable until the Oct. 18 matchup with the Jets.

  • Lands on IR

    Ingram (knee) was placed on injured reserve Saturday.

    Analysis: The veteran defensive end was listed as doubtful heading into Sunday's contest against the Panthers, so it's a bit surprising to see the Chargers make the leap straight to injured reserve. Ingram will now miss a minimum of three weeks as he attempts to rehab "knee soreness." The team's 2019 first-round pick, Jerry Tillery could see a massive jump in snaps with nominal starting defensive tackle Justin Jones also placed on IR with a shoulder injury.

  • Doubtful with knee soreness

    Ingram (knee) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Panthers. Per coach Anthony Lynn, Ingram's battling knee soreness that worsened from Thursday to Friday, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Ingram's late addition to the injury report represents a major blow to a Chargers defense that has become a popular Week 3 streaming option against a Panthers team that will be without star running back Christian McCaffrey (ankle). The skilled pass rusher is still looking for his first sack of 2020 after recording at least seven sacks in each of the previous five seasons. Ingram didn't practice Friday after logging two full sessions to start the week.

  • Snares pick in win

    Ingram recorded two solo tackles and an interception in Sunday's win over the Bengals.

    Analysis: Somewhat shockingly, Sunday's interception means the defensive end has now picked off a pass in each of the last three seasons. Taking advantage of rookie Joe Burrow in his first career start, Ingram played coy on a screen pass, bursting in front of the dump off throw for an interception that completely changed the momentum of the game. While the 31-year-old didn't register a sack, he did apply immense pressure on Burrow, helping the likes of Joey Bosa, Jerry Tillery and Uchenna Nwosu each pick…read more

  • Restructures contract

    Ingram signed a contract Thursday that fully guaranteed his 2020 salary, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: The 31-year-old may still want an extension since he'll be an unrestricted free agent in 2020, but his contract's new structure was enough for Ingram to return to practice. He's now guaranteed to earn $14 million this season, and if he records seven or more sacks for a sixth straight season, he'll be in line for another solid contract next March.

  • Practices Thursday

    Ingram (contract dispute) participated in Thursday's practice, Gilbert Manzano of The Orange County Register reports.

    Analysis: Ingram had been holding out of practices due to a desire to restructure his contract, so his participation Thursday may be indicative of progress regarding negotiations. The veteran pass rusher may be dissatisfied with the fact that none of his $14 million salary for 2020 is guaranteed, in which case it could be possible for the Chargers to make amends without significantly increasing Ingram's cap hit.

  • Practice absence clarified

    Ingram missed Monday's practice because he is dissatisfied with his contract situation, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: The 31-year-old is entering the final year of a four-year, $64 million contract and could be attempting to leverage the Chargers for a new deal. One major factor for Ingram is the guaranteed money, with none of the $14 million salary in 2020 set to be guaranteed. It's still unclear when the veteran expects to return to the field, if at all, but at this time, there's no evidence that Ingram's availability for the season opener is in jeopardy.

  • Sidelined for Friday's practice

    Ingram (undisclosed) didn't practice Friday, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Head coach Anthony Lynn didn't reveal anything about whether Ingram was injured at all, but the veteran defensive end was absent from practice. We'll wait for updates after the team's next practice, but at this time, there's no evidence that Ingram's availability for the season opener is in jeopardy.

  • Another season under 10 sacks

    Ingram finished the 2019 season with 39 tackles, seven sacks, five passes defended and an interception across 13 games.

    Analysis: It was the first time in four seasons Ingram failed to play all 16 games, but the defensive end was impactful enough to earn Pro Bowl first-alternate considerations. It's possible the Chargers could rework the 30-year-old's contract given Ingram is in the last year of a four-year deal, which he signed back in 2017, although with just under $3 million set to count against the cap should the team opt to cut him, the Chargers may simply allow him to play out the final season, particularly with two…read more

  • Finally records sack

    Ingram recorded three tackles and 1.5 sacks in the 24-17 loss Sunday to the Raiders.

    Analysis: Sunday was Ingram's first sack since Week 11, capping what figures to be another slightly disappointing season for the veteran pass rusher. Joey Bosa's continual dominance likely has cut into Ingram's potential sack total somewhat, but he's also benefited from the additional attention directed to his younger teammate. Either way, another season with less than 10 sacks could put Ingram's future with the Chargers in jeopardy.

  • Tacks on another sack

    Ingram tallied five tackles (four solo), a sack and two pass breakups in Monday's 24-17 loss to the Chiefs.

    Analysis: It looked like Father Time was after the 30-year-old defensive end when he posted just one sack over his first five games, only for Ingram to rack up 4.5 sacks over his next three. He continues to log a major snap share with at least 80 percent in every game he's finished without injury.

  • Disruptive in loss

    Ingram made seven solo tackles and two sacks in Thursday's 26-24 loss to the Raiders.

    Analysis: Ingram had an injury scare in the first half, but he returned to the contest to achieve his first multi-sack performance of the season. He also matched his season high in stops. The 30-year-old defensive end now has 4.5 sacks through seven games, and he'll have a tough task in chasing down Patrick Mahomes in Week 11.

  • Back after halftime

    Ingram (shoulder) returned to Thursday's game against the Raiders, Myles Simmons of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.

    Analysis: Ingram was considered questionable to return after leaving a few minutes before halftime, but he was back on the field to start the second half. The 30-year-old defensive end already has a sack in the contest, so he'll look to add to the total.

  • Departs with injury

    Ingram was forced out of Thursday's game against the Raiders with a shoulder injury.

    Analysis: Ingram was injured during the second quarter and went straight to the locker room. He recorded three solo tackles and a sack before leaving the contest. Uchenna Nwosu figures to pick up a majority of Ingram's snaps if he's unable to return.

  • Decimates the opposition

    Ingram tallied three tackles, 1.5 sacks and two quarterback hits in the 26-11 win Sunday over the Packers.

    Analysis: Ingram and teammate Joey Bosa wreaked havoc Sunday, as the duo combined for three sacks and limited the Packers to just 50 total yards through the first half. While Ingram hasn't been able to pile up similar sack numbers to his aforementioned teammate, the duo is very much a formidable force when healthy and a matchup nightmare for opposing offenses in any given week.
