Odenigbo (illness) was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday, Chris Tomasson of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.
EDGE Analysis
Odenigbo has either tested positive for the virus or is quarantining after exposure to someone who has. A source close to the 26-year-old, who looks primed to start for the Vikings in 2002, said "he'll definitely be OK."

Odenigbo recorded 23 tackles (18 solo), seven sacks, one forced fumble and two fumble recoveries (one of which he returned for a touchdown) across 16 regular-season contests in 2019.
EDGE Analysis
Odenigbo appeared in just one NFL game during the first two years of his career, but he found success as a rotational pass rusher with the Vikings in 2019. The Northwestern product will return for 2020, and he could be in line for a larger role should the team elect to move on from Everson Griffen.

EDGE Analysis

Odenigbo (hamstring) is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's wild-card game against the Saints.
EDGE Analysis
Odenigbo plays a key rotational role along Minnesota's defensive line. If he were forced to sit out Sunday's wild-card tilt in New Orleans, Stephen Weatherly (illness) could be in line for an uptick in snaps if healthy.

Odenigbo recorded two solo tackles and a sack in Sunday's 26-23 loss to the Chiefs.
EDGE Analysis
Odenigbo was quiet for most of the contest, but he came up big with a sack of Matt Moore on third down to keep the lead in the fourth quarter. This is his second straight game with a sack and his third of the year, so Odenigbo is making use of limited reps.

Odenigbo played 12 snaps on defense in Sunday's win over Atlanta. He had one QB hurry, according to Pro Football Focus.
EDGE Analysis
Odenigbo appeared in one game for Arizona last season before signing with the Vikings but did not appear in a game for Minnesota. It looks like he's found a place on the roster, but he will be a deep reserve at defensive end.

Odenigbo was released by the Cardinals on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Odenigbo fell victim to Arizona's depleted offensive line depth and subsequent need at that position. There's a chance the Odenigbo will latch on elsewhere, but speculation is a bit premature at the moment. The second-year pro out of Northwestern has appeared in just one NFL game since entering the league in 2017.

Odenigbo was claimed off waivers by the Cardinals on Monday, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Odenigbo was waived by the Browns on Sept. 22 and will look to help an Arizona defense that's in the middle of the pack with eight sacks. He was inactive for all three games during his time in Cleveland. Jaquies Smith was waived to make room for Odenigbo.

Odenigbo was waived by Cleveland on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Odenigbo was waived to make room for D'Juan Hines on the 53-man roster. The 24-year-old will become an unsigned free agent if he goes unclaimed on waivers, and attempt to find a depth position elsewhere in the league.
