Now in his fifth NFL season, the linebacker was dealt to the Los Angeles Chargers in mid-October for safety Alohi Gilman. The teams also exchanged future draft picks. Oweh was a starter last season but seemingly fell out of favor in Baltimore, the team that drafted him in the first round in 2021. He did not earn first-team reps in Weeks 1, 2 and 5 this year. Oweh has just 5 tackles (1 for loss) and 5 quarterback hits over five games (two starts) so far this season. For his career, he has 148 tackles, 23 sacks, 68 quarterback hits and 3 forced fumbles. — Greg Pickel
