Ealy inked a contract with the Raiders on Wednesday, Michael Gehlken of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.
EDGE Analysis
While Ealy was part of the active roster earlier in the season, he was buried on the depth chart and didn't have an opportunity to take the field. With the Raiders dealing with multiple injuries along the defensive line this time around, Ealy could make his 2018 debut Sunday.

The Raiders released Ealy on Tuesday, Field Yates of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Ealy signed a contract with the Raiders on Nov. 5, but failed to appear in Sunday's game against the Chargers. The former second-round pick will look to revive his career elsewhere.

Ealy signed a contract with the Raiders on Monday, Michael Gehlken of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.
EDGE Analysis
Ealy's place on the 53-man roster comes at the expense of fellow defensive end James Cowser. The former second-round pick recorded at least four sacks in each of his first three NFL seasons, and is expected to serve a depth role in Oakland's 4-3 defense.

Ealy was waived by the Cowboys on Friday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Ealy was a second-round pick of the Panthers in 2014, and recorded at least four sacks in each of his first three NFL seasons. After a down year with the Jets last season in which the 26-year-old logged only 14 tackles and one sack, it seems that a comeback season with the Cowboys wasn't in the cards. Ealy will become an unrestricted free agent if he clears waivers unclaimed, and look to stick more firmly elsewhere around the league.

Ealy signed a contract with the Cowboys on Thursday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Ealy spent last season with the Jets, recording just 14 tackles, including one sack on the year, though he did add an impressive nine passes defensed, including one interception. A second-round pick of the Panthers in 2014, Ealy fell off from the form of his first three seasons, which saw him record at least four sacks each year. He'll be looking to bounce back from what was a down year, though he'll likely be a bit buried on the Cowboys depth chart and have to earn any snaps he eventually gets.

Ealy (knee) is listed as active for Sunday's contest against the Patriots.
EDGE Analysis
Ealy was a late addition to the Jets' injury report on Friday after suffering a minor knee injury in practice at some point, but the defensive end will be able to suit up in Week 17. He could see an increased role as well, while starter Muhammad Wilkerson (coach's decision) has been ruled out.

Ealy (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Patriots.
EDGE Analysis
Ealy popped up on the injury report Friday after seemingly injuring his knee in practice. Xavier Cooper would be in line for added reps Sunday if Ealy can't go.

Ealy had his first sack of the season in Thursday night's victory over the Bills.
EDGE Analysis
Ealy played 41 of 75 defensive snaps and had an assisted tackle in addition to the sack. The 25-year-old has only 12 tackles (nine solo) on the season and hasn't shown enough with the Jets this season to be an IDP option at this point.

Ealy (shoulder) was a full participant in practice Friday and is expected to play Sunday against the Patriots.
EDGE Analysis
Ealy was in danger of missing his second consecutive game, but now that he's ready to go, he may receive even more snaps. With Muhammad Wilkerson (shoulder) a game-time decision, Ealy will share snaps with Lawrence Thomas if Wilkerson can't play.

Ealy (shoulder) is listed as out for Sunday's game against the Browns.
EDGE Analysis
Ealy has been inconsistent this year and hasn't logged enough tackles to be a viable IDP threat. However, against the Jags in Week 4 he blocked four passes and recorded an interception, earning him a solid fantasy day. Regardless, that outing was an anomaly and shouldn't be used to project long-term value.
