Oluokun recorded nine total tackles (six solo) in Sunday's 52-6 loss to the Lions. The veteran linebacker was one of the few bright spots on the Jaguars' defense in Sunday's blowout loss, leading the team in total tackles. 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.
Oluokun registered 11 tackles (six solo) and an interception Sunday in a loss to the Vikings. 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. Oluokun missed Weeks 4 through 7 while on IR with a foot injury, but he appears to be back to full health, as he was on the field for all of the Jaguars' defensive snaps Sunday.
Oluokun recorded eight tackles (seven solo) in Sunday's 28-23 loss to the Eagles. The linebacker also played on 89 percent of the defensive snaps in his second game back from a foot injury. Oluokun has 39 tackles (24 solo), including 1.0 sacks, and two passes defensed in five games this season.
Oluokun recorded nine tackles (four solo) in Sunday's 30-27 loss versus the Packers. 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.
Oluokun (foot) will suit up Sunday versus Green Bay. 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.
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. 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.
Oluokun (foot) was a limited participant during Friday's practice and is questionable for Sunday's game against Green Bay. 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.
Jacksonville designated Oluokun (foot) for return to practice from its injured reserve list Tuesday. 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 Tuesday, 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.
The Jaguars placed Oluokun (foot) on injured reserve Saturday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports. 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.
