Foyesade Oluokun - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Double-digit tackles in finale Oluokun tallied 10 tackles (three solo) during Jacksonville's Week 18 loss to Indianapolis.

Impact Oluokun posted double-digit tackles in the final two games of the season as he finished the campaign with 108 total stops, which ends a three-year run with at least 170 tackles. Part of the 27-year-old's production drop was due to a foot injury that sidelined him for four contests, but his 8.3 tackles per game was still his lowest figure since 2020. Oluokun inked a three-year, $30 million extension with the Jaguars last March and could be back amongst the leading tacklers in the league in 2025.

Oluokun has put together another solid campaign in 2024, having recorded 59 total tackles, including 1.0 sacks, and three passes defended through seven appearances. He's expected to remain a viable IDP option as the Jaguars next play the Texans in Week 13.

Picks off pass in Week 10 Oluokun registered 11 tackles (six solo) and an interception Sunday in a loss to the Vikings.

Impact Oluokun finished second on Jacksonville in stops, notching double-digit tackles for the second time through six games this season. He also recorded his first pickoff of the campaign with a first-quarter interception of Sam Darnold.

Impact Oluokun returned from a four-game absence in Week 8, and he led Jacksonville's linebackers in snaps (62) by a wide margin. Although his performance Sunday wasn't enough to get his team the win, it was a reminder of why he's been a regular IDP fixture over the past few seasons and why he'll remain one in Week 9 at Philadelphia.

Officially active Week 8 Oluokun (foot) will suit up Sunday versus Green Bay.

Impact Oluokun injured his foot Week 3 against Buffalo and missed Jacksonville's next four games while on injured reserve. He was activated Saturday after logging a trio of limited practices during the week. Now that he's back in action, Oluokun should return to his starting role and will immediately become a top IDP asset after recording over 170 tackles each of the past three campaigns.

Comes off IR The Jaguars activated Oluokun (foot) from injured reserve Saturday, in advance of Sunday's home matchup against the Packers, Demetrius Harvey of The Florida Times-Union reports.

Impact Oluokun remains questionable to play Sunday, but being activated Saturday is a necessary step if he is to return to action Week 8. The standout linebacker's absence has left a notable void in Jacksonville's defense over the four games he missed while on IR. As long as he's officially cleared to suit up for Sunday's contest against the Packers, Oluokun will be in position to immediately reprise his role as a premier IDP fantasy option.

OCTOBER 26, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Could return vs. Packers Oluokun (foot) was a limited participant during Friday's practice and is questionable for Sunday's game against Green Bay.

Impact Oluokun was placed on the Jaguars' IR after injuring his foot during Jacksonville's Week 3 loss to Buffalo. His 21-day window to return from injured reserve opened Tuesday, and the 2018 sixth-round pick was a limited participant in all three practices this week. Head coach Doug Pederson told reporters before Friday's practice that he's "optimistic [Oluokun will] be able to step in and play" Sunday, per John Oehser of the Jaguars' official site. Across the first two games of the regular season prior to his foot injury, Oluokun logged 19 tackles (11 solo), including 1.0 sacks, and one pass breakup.

OCTOBER 26, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Cleared to practice Jacksonville designated Oluokun (foot) for return to practice from its injured reserve list Tuesday.

Impact Oluokun has been out for the Jaguars' last four games nursing plantar fasciitis, but it now appears he could be on track to suit up again soon. From today, Jacksonville will have 21 days to activate him from its injured reserve list before it would have to put him on the shelf for the rest of the year.

Placed on IR with foot injury The Jaguars placed Oluokun (foot) on injured reserve Saturday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Impact Oluokun was diagnosed with plantar fasciitis, which he sustained during the Jaguars' Week 3 loss to the Bills. He was already ruled out for Sunday's game against the Texans, but Oluokun's move to IR will force him to miss at least the next four regular-season games. The earliest the 2018 sixth-round pick could return is Week 8 against the Packers on Oct. 27. With Oluokun sidelined, Ventrell Miller will slide into the starting role at outside linebacker opposite Chad Muma while Yasir Abdullah provides rotational depth.

SEPTEMBER 28, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Ruled out for Week 4 Oluokun (foot) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Texans.

Impact Oluokun is dealing with plantar fasciitis, which kept him out of practice all week. The injury is severe enough that the 2018 sixth-round pick is expected to miss multiple games due to the injury, though it appears he will avoid going on injured reserve at least for the moment. Ventrell Miller saw extended playing time at outside linebacker in Week 3 against the Bills, and he will likely serve as the starter alongside Chad Muma moving forward for as long as Oluokun is sidelined.

Expects to miss extended time Oluokun is expected to miss several weeks as he tends to plantar fasciitis, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Impact Oluokun was forced out of Monday's 47-10 loss at Buffalo early with a foot injury, which it now turns out was relatively significant. For as long as he ends up being out, his absence will likely constitute a downgrade for the Jaguars' defense as a whole, especially against the run. And until he's ready to return, Ventrell Miller will be in line to see an increased workload.

Could miss Week 4 Oluokum (foot) is considered week-to-week after getting injured in Monday's loss to the Bills, John Shipley of SI.com reports.

Impact Oluokom's week-to-week timeline puts him in danger of missing Sunday's game against the Texans. More clarity about his status for the matchup will likely come later in the week. If he does miss time, Ventrell Miller will have to step up at outside linebacker.

SEPTEMBER 24, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Downgraded to out Oluokun was downgraded to out after exiting Monday's game against the Bills with a foot injury, Demetrius Harvey of The Florida Times-Union reports.

Impact The starting linebacker recorded three tackles (two solo) and a pass defensed before leaving the contest. Ventrell Miller is his backup.

SEPTEMBER 24, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Picks up sack vs. Browns Oluokun recorded eight tackles (three solo) including 1.0 sacks during Sunday's 18-13 loss versus Cleveland.

Impact Oluokun's tackle production slipped from the 11 he posted in Week 1, but he made up the difference by notching his first sack of the season. He could see a solid share of opportunities defending the run in Week 3 at Buffalo, which looks like it's trying to be more run-oriented this year than last.

SEPTEMBER 17, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Double-digit stops in loss Oluokun recorded 11 total tackles (eight solo) and a pass deflection in Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Dolphins.

Impact Oluokun opened the year with an impressive performance, leading the team in stops. The linebacker has been amongst the league leaders in tackles each of the last three seasons, and he appears to be on track to hit that benchmark again in 2024.
