Obada (knee) is officially active for Sunday's game against the Broncos, Bill Voth of the team's official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Obada drew the questionable tag despite participating in full at practice this week, so it was a good sign the defensive lineman was still active. Obada has worked in a rotational role throughout the season, racking up 14 tackles (seven solo) and 3.5 sacks through 12 games, so expect him to continue that role for Week 14.

Obada made two tackles, including 1.5 sacks, in Sunday's 20-0 win over the Lions.

EDGE Analysis

Obada has come on strong lately, totaling 3.5 sacks over Carolina's last four games. That stretch now sees Obada ranked second on the team in sacks and could earn him more snaps going forward.

Odaba (back) is active for Thursday's game against the Falcons, Myles Simmons of the Panthers' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Odaba was listed as questionable for Thursday's contest, despite the fact that he logged a trio of full practices leading up to the game. He'll play his usual rotational role at defensive end against Matt Ryan and the Falcons.

Obada was re-signed by the Panthers on Tuesday after clearing waivers, David Newton of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Obada's roster spot isn't very secure considering the team was willing to run the risk of having him go through waivers, but the defensive lineman should be on the Week 1 roster against the Raiders now that he's back on the 53-man roster.

Obada signed a one-year contract extension with the Panthers on Monday, Max Henson of the team's official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Obada worked in a reserve role this year, averaging 19.5 defensive snaps per game, and he accrued 24 tackles and a pass breakup. He was set to be an exclusive-rights free agent in March, but the 27-year-old will re-up early. The Panthers figure to add defensive ends either through free agency or the draft, but Obada could be in line for an increased workload in 2020 if neither Vernon Butler or Gerald McCoy re-sign.

Obada signed a one-year contract with the Panthers on Wednesday, Grant Gordon of NFL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Obada, who played his first NFL season with the Panthers in 2018, has reached an agreement to remain with Carolina through 2019. The 27-year-old made eight tackles, two sacks and one interception across 10 games during the regular season, including his Week 3 debut in which Obada notched one sack and picked off quarterback Andy Dalton (thumb) for a highlight-reel interception. Obada played a rotational role in the Panthers' defensive line in 2018, logging 189 defensive snaps on the year. If he's able to show well this offseason, it's conceivable that Obada could see increased usage during his sophomore season.
