Jacksonville Jaguars linebacker Foyesade Oluokun (foot) has been activated from the injured reserve ahead of the Week 8 matchup against the Green Bay Packers. It looks like Oluokun will be back on the field for the first time since suffering a foot injury in Week 3. This is a huge upgrade for the Jaguars defense that has struggled lately. Foyesade has recorded over 170 tackles in each of the last three seasons. He has been a key piece to the Jags defense and should give them a boost for Sunday's game.
Jacksonville Jaguars linebacker Foyesade Oluokun (foot) was limited in practice all week long and is officially questionable to play against the Green Bay Packers on Sunday. Oluokun is still on injured reserve, so he'd need to be activated by 4 p.m. Saturday in order to be eligible for this weekend's clash with Green Bay. The 29-year-old registered 22 tackles and one sack through three games earlier this season.
Foye Oluokun Designated To Return From Injured Reserve
Jacksonville Jaguars linebacker Foye Oluokun (foot) has been cleared to practice and has been designated to return from Injured Reserve, according to NFL.com. Oluokun suffered a foot injury in the Week 3 loss to the Buffalo Bills and is eligible to return to game action this week. The 2018 sixth-round pick by the Atlanta Falcons out of Yale has been a tacking machine since signing with Jacksonville in 2022. The 29-year-old has collected at least 173 total tackles in each of the last three seasons and did not miss a game before this year. It remains to be seen if he'll return to face the Green Bay Packers in Week 8, but he's on track to be activated soon.
The Jacksonville Jaguars have placed standout linebacker Foyesade Oluokun (foot) on Injured Reserve, sidelining him for at least four games. Oluokun was diagnosed with plantar fasciitis, an injury he sustained during the Jaguars' Week 3 loss to the Bills. Although he had already been ruled out for Sunday's matchup against the Texans, his move to IR will prevent him from playing for the next four regular-season games. Fortunately, Oluokun will not require surgery for the injury. He started all three games this season, recording 22 tackles and a sack. Since joining the Jaguars before the 2022 season, he has started every game and boasts an impressive streak of 69 consecutive starts overall. In his career, Oluokun has played in 100 of a possible 101 games, with his only absence coming in Week 3 of 2020 due to a hamstring injury. The earliest he could return is Week 8 against the Packers on Oct. 27. In his absence, Ventrell Miller will take over the starting outside linebacker role opposite Chad Muma, with Yasir Abdullah providing additional depth.
Jacksonville Jaguars linebacker Foyesade Oluokun (foot) has officially been ruled out for the Week 4 contest versus the division-rival Houston Texans this weekend after missing practice all week. Safety Darnell Savage (quadriceps) and cornerback Jarrian Jones (chest) are questionable to play for the Jaguars defense. Oluokun, who was drafted as one of the first linebackers off the board in most IDP fantasy formats, is expected to miss multiple weeks as he deals with plantar fasciitis. The 29-year-old former sixth-rounder in 2018 is a tackle machine after racking up 666 combined tackles (419 solo) over the last four seasons with the Jags and Atlanta Falcons. Expect Ventrell Miller to start at outside linebacker again in Week 4 with Oluokun sidelined. The Jags defense was dismantled by the Buffalo Bills in Week 3 and should be off the fantasy radar in this divisional tilt on the road on Sunday.
Jacksonville Jaguars linebacker Foyesade Oluokun (foot) is expected to miss several weeks of action. This news comes a day after Oluokun was forced to exit early during Monday's loss to the Buffalo Bills. The star linebacker is reportedly dealing with plantar fasciitis, which is something that is really only healed by rest. Ventrell Miller took over after Oluokun left on Monday and figures to see increased playing time going forward. The loss of Oluokun is huge considering he has recorded over 170 tackles in each of the last three seasons.
Foyesade Oluokun Considered Questionable To Return
Jacksonville Jaguars linebacker Foyesade Oluokun (foot) is currently considered questionable to return to Monday's Week 3 matchup against the Buffalo Bills. This is a tough break for the Jaguars who are already without multiple key defenders. First, defensive back Jarrian Jones (shoulder) left during the first drive of the game, now Oluokun exits during the first half as well. His absence will probably mean that Ventrell Miller or De'Antre Prince gets more time if he can't return. The Jaguars cannot afford to have anymore defensive injuries, so hopefully Jones and Oluokun can return during this game.
The Jacksonville Jaguars signed linebacker Foye Oluokun to a four-year, $45 million contract extension on Friday. The deal reportedly includes $22 million guaranteed at signing. The top fantasy linebacker in IDP leagues last year will now stick around in Jacksonville long term. The Atlanta Falcons took the 28-year-old in the sixth round (200th overall) in 2018 out of Yale. He spent the first four seasons of his NFL career in Atlanta before spending the last two years in Jacksonville. In the last three seasons combined, Oluokun has a whopping 341 solo tackles, 6.5 sacks, 24 tackles for loss, 26 QB hits, four interceptions (one returned for a touchdown), 17 passes defended, four forced fumbles and five fumble recoveries in 51 starts. Given his immense production in recent years, Oluokun should be one of the first linebackers off the board in IDP drafts this fall.
Jacksonville Jaguars linebacker Foyesade Oluokun has a favorable matchup against the Cleveland Browns in Week 14. Opposing IDP linebackers score more points against the Browns than against two-thirds of the other offenses, as the Browns rush the ball often. Rams linebacker Ernest Jones, who, like Oluokun, excels at stopping running plays, made 15 combined tackles against the Browns last week. Oluokun has made double-digit tackles in two straight games and eight times in total this season. He has also made more impact plays than he has in the past, as he has tied his career high in fumble recoveries and is close to setting a new career high in sacks. Oluokun is an every-week IDP starter, and this week, he could have a stellar performance.
Foyesade Oluokun Scores First Career Touchdown In TNF Win
Jacksonville Jaguars linebacker Foyesade Oluokun had a dominant performance in the Jaguars' 31-24 win over the New Orleans Saints on Thursday Night Football. Oluokun racked up tackles, making nine solos and five assists, and an interception he returned for a touchdown. In the third quarter, with the Jaguars up 17-9 and the Saints deep in their own territory, Oluokun caught a batted ball and took it back, diving at the pylon, to put Jacksonville up by two touchdowns. The touchdown, the first of his career, would end up being decisive. Oluokun, who has led the league in tackles for two straight seasons, was third in tackles going into this week and around fifth in IDP scoring.
