  • Suspended for six games

    Onyemata will be suspended for six games for violating the NFL Policy on Performance-Enhancing Substances, Amie Just of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

    Analysis: Onyemata released a statement Friday morning on Instagram suggesting he may have accidentally consumed a banned substance in one of his supplements. It leaves the Saints even thinner at one of their weakest positions, after veteran DTs Malcom Brown and Sheldon Rankins signed with other teams earlier this offseason. And now Onyemata will be out until Week 8, though he's free to participate in all activities -- including training camp and the preseason -- up until Week 1. The 2016 fourth-round…read more

  • Suspended for start of season

    Onyemata revealed Friday that he'll be suspended for part of the 2021 season after testing positive for a banned substance, Katherine Terrell of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Onyemata didn't elaborate on the length of his suspension, but recent PED bans (WR Will Fuller, CB Bradley Roby) suggest it could be up to six games. The 28-year-old defensive tackle made 30 starts for New Orleans over the past two seasons, including a 2020 breakout with career highs for tackles (44), QB hits (16) and sacks (6.5). The Saints already had issues with depth at defensive tackle after losing Malcom Brown (to the Jaguars) and Sheldon Rankins (to the Jets) earlier this offseason. The…read more

  • Career year in 2020

    Onyemata recorded 44 tackles (20 solo), 6.5 sacks, two passes defended and an interception across 15 regular-season games in 2020.

    Analysis: Those numbers were all career highs for the fifth-year man, who's spent his entire career with New Orleans. He's been a key contributor on defense since entering the NFL, and he'll look to set new career-best numbers when he returns to New Orleans in 2021.

  • Records sack in win

    Onyemata totaled four tackles (two solo) and a sack in the Saints' 21-16 win over the Falcons on Sunday.

    Analysis: Onyemata recorded just one tackle in Week 12, though he was much more involved in this one, piling up four tackles and registering his sixth sack of the year. He'll look to add to that career-high total in Week 14 against the Eagles.

  • Two sacks Sunday

    Onyemata produced three tackles (all solo), including two sacks, in the Saints' 24-9 win over the Falcons on Sunday.

    Analysis: With the performance, Onyemata brought his season sack total to five and set a new career season high, eclipsing his mark of 4.5 set in 2018. A matchup with Denver in Week 12 offers a chance to add to that total.

  • First career interception

    Onyemata recorded an interception in the Saints' 38-3 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday.

    Analysis: The big man nabbed his first career interception Sunday, salvaging an otherwise uneventful day. Through eight games, Onyemata is well on his way to a career year in his fifth NFL season.

  • Another sack in victory

    Onyemata totaled five tackles (one solo), one sack and a tackle for a loss in the Saints' 26-23 OT win over the Bears on Sunday.

    Analysis: Onyemata isn't a volume tackler, but he's now racked up three sacks through six games played. He'll carry plenty of pass-rushing upside into a Week 9 battle against Tampa Bay.

  • Records sack in win

    Onyemata finished with one solo tackle, one sack and a tackle for a loss in the Saints' 35-29 win over the Lions on Sunday.

    Analysis: Onyemata was held out of Week 3's loss to the Packers, but he returned in Week 4 for a productive showing. He recorded his second sack in as many games played and remains a weekly threat to get to the quarterback as long as he takes the field.

  • Back to full health

    Onyemata (calf) is not listed on Thursday's injury report, Luke Johnson of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

    Analysis: Onyemata wasn't able to suit up against the Packers on Sunday, but it looks as though he's now fully recovered from his calf injury. He's on track to handle his usual rotational role at Detroit in Week 4.

  • Inactive Sunday night

    Onyemata (calf) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Packers, Luke Johnson of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

    Analysis: Onyemata was a late addition to New Orleans' injury report, but his calf issue is serious enough that he'll need to miss at least a week. With Marcus Davenport (elbow) also inactive, the Saints' defensive front could find it difficult to contain Green Bay's potent ground game.

  • Dealing with calf issue

    Onyemata (calf) is listed as questionable for Sunday's contest against the Packers, Amie Just of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

    Analysis: Onyemata didn't appear on the Saints' practice report until Friday, when he was limited due to a calf injury. The development may indicate a brand-new health concern, but the defensive front nonetheless enters the weekend banged up, with Onyemata, Marcus Davenport (elbow) and Trey Hendrickson (groin) all questionable for Sunday's game.

  • Records sack in loss

    Onyemata totaled six tackles (two solo), 1.5 tackles for a loss and a sack in the Saints' 34-24 loss to the Raiders on Monday.

    Analysis: Onyemata was busy Monday, as he did his best to contain elite back Josh Jacobs. As a member of New Orleans' powerful defensive line, Onyemata has weekly sack upside, though he rarely sees this amount of tackles.

  • Back in Big Easy

    The Saints and Onyemata agreed to a contract Monday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Onyemata finished out his rookie deal with the Saints collecting 32 tackles (22 solo) and three sacks while starting in all 15 of his regular-season appearances in 2019. The official terms of the deal remain unclear, but he likely will assume his same role in the defensive front in the coming campaign.

  • Concludes rookie contract

    Onyemata accounted for 32 tackles (22 solo) and 3.0 sacks in 2019.

    Analysis: After starting 10 total games over his first three seasons, Onyemata started all 15 of his regular-season appearances in 2019, though he saw a three-year low in defensive snaps. The fourth-rounder from Manitoba will be a free agent in 2020 after finishing out his rookie contract, and it's not clear yet if he'll sign a new deal with New Orleans.

  • Records sack in win

    Onyemata totaled two tackles (both solo), one sack and a tackle for a loss in the Saints' 34-31 win over the Panthers on Sunday.

    Analysis: Onyemata recorded his third sack of the season in Sunday's win and his first since Week 8. The fourth-year tackle's production hasn't been fruitful for fantasy purposes as he's collected 25 tackles (19 solo) and has yet to force a turnover across 10 games on the season.
