Dupree posted 6.0 sacks among his 28 tackles (18 solo) while suiting up for all 17 regular-season games in 2024. He also had one interception among his pair of passes defensed.
EDGE Analysis
Dupree reached 6.0 sacks for the fifth time and has notched at least 4.0 sacks in nine of 10 NFL regular seasons. He also suited up for the Chargers' 32-12 playoff loss to the Texans in the wild-card round but didn't contribute any meaningful statistics. Dupree remains under contract at a $3.64 million cap hit for his age-32 season in 2025.

Dupree (foot) is not among the Chargers' inactives for Monday's Week 12 contest against Baltimore.
EDGE Analysis
Dupree dealt with a foot injury throughout the week and was listed as questionable coming into Monday, but he'll be able to play against the Ravens. The veteran pass rusher typically plays around half to two-thirds of Los Angeles' defensive snaps, and he ranks second on the team with 5.0 sacks. Dupree could have his work cut out for him Monday against Lamar Jackson and a Ravens offense that is tied for the second-fewest sacks allowed (15) this season entering Monday.

Dupree (foot) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Ravens.
EDGE Analysis
Dupree was a limited practice participant all week due to a foot injury, and he joins Khalil Mack (groin) as the Chargers' two edge rushers with an injury designation heading into Monday's game. Joey Bosa and Tuli Tuipulotu would see a heavy snap count if one or both of Dupree and Mack are unable to play, though Nick Niemann and Troy Dye would also be candidates for additional snaps on defense. In the six regular-season games since the Chargers' Week 5 bye, Dupree has logged 12 tackles (nine solo), including 3.0 sacks, and one forced fumble.

Dupree will sign a two-year contract with the Chargers, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Dupree reportedly met with both the Falcons and Steelers recently in addition to the Chargers, and it appears that he'll end up with Los Angeles. The veteran edge rusher enjoyed a solid bounce-back campaign with Atlanta last season, recording 39 tackles (his most since 2019), including 6.5 sacks (his most since 2020). Dupree will add to an already formidable Chargers pass rush that also includes Joey Bosa (foot), Khalil Mack and Tuli Tuipulotu.

Dupree finished 2023 with 39 tackles (17 solo), 6.5 sacks, three pass defenses and two forced fumbles in 16 appearances.
EDGE Analysis
After back-to-back down years in Tennessee, Dupree signed a one-year, prove-it deal with the Falcons last offseason. The 2015 first-round pick did just that, playing in his most games since 2019 while recording his most sacks and forced fumbles since 2020 - his final year with Pittsburgh. The veteran pass rusher will be an unrestricted free agent this offseason, but it wouldn't be surprising if there's mutual interest in a return given the bounce-back campaign Dupree had in 2023.

Dupree (back) is active for Sunday's game against the Colts.
EDGE Analysis
The starting linebacker was questionable heading into the day with the same back injury that forced him to miss the Falcons' Week 15 loss to the Panthers. Dupree has 31 tackles, including 5.0 sacks, two passes defensed and a forced fumble in 2023.

Dupree (back) is considered questionable to play in Sunday's matchup with Indianapolis, Michael Rothstein of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Dupree has been dealing with a back injury over the last week, which forced him to miss the team's 9-7 loss to the Panthers in Week 15. If the linebacker is sidelined again Sunday, Lorenzo Carter will see an increased workload versus the Colts.

Dupree (back) is inactive for Sunday's contest versus Carolina.
EDGE Analysis
Dupree wasn't on Atlanta's injury report heading into the weekend, but he'll nonetheless miss Sunday's clash with the Panthers. He's been a key part of the Falcons' pass rush this season, logging at least 57 percent of the team's defensive snaps each week and accumulating 5.0 sacks, second-most on the team. Lorenzo Carter could see more work with Dupree out.
