Oluokun did not participate in Monday's practice session due to hamstring tightness, Demetrius Harvey of The Florida Times-Union reports. Head coach Doug Pederson informed reporters Monday that Oluokon came out of Saturday's preseason win against the Chiefs with some tightness in the hamstring, though it appears to be a minor issue. Oluokon played seven snaps (six on defense, one on special teams) in Saturday's contest and did not record a tackle. The 2018 sixth-round pick is slated to start at outside linebacker opposite Chad Muma with Devin Lloyd manning the middle.

Oluokun did not participate in Monday's practice session due to hamstring tightness, Demetrius Harvey of The Florida Times-Union reports. Head coach Doug Pederson informed reporters Monday that Oluokon came out of Saturday's preseason win against the Chiefs with some tightness in the hamstring, though it appears to be a minor issue. Oluokon played seven snaps (six on defense, one on special teams) in Saturday's contest and did not record a tackle. The 2018 sixth-round pick is slated to start at outside linebacker opposite Chad Muma with Devin Lloyd manning the middle.
The Jaguars signed Oluokun to a four-year, $45 million contract extension Friday. Oluokun's new deal reportedly includes $22.5 million guaranteed at signing, per Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. In his last three seasons, Oluokun has racked up 192, 184 and 173 total tackles, making him one of the most feared interior linebackers in the league. Now heading into his age-29 season, Oluokun figures to remain a high-end IDP fantasy asset.
Oluokun managed a double-digit tackle total for the seventh game this season in Week 12. He's incredibly on pace for his third straight season with more than 175 total tackles, making him an elite IDP option even versus the pass-happy Bengals in Week 13.
It's the third game in a row that Oluokun has registered double-digit tackles and is the sixth time this season he has hit that mark. He leads the team with 92 tackles -- 44 ahead of the second-most by Devin Lloyd -- and ranks second in the NFL behind Zaire Franklin (102). Oluokun has played on every defensive snap for the Jaguars this year and will likely hit 100-plus tackles for the season after the bye in Week 10 against the 49ers.
