Jaguars' Foyesade Oluokun: Jags' leading tackler in loss
Rotowire
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.

Jaguars' Foyesade Oluokun: Comes off IR
Rotowire
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.

Jaguars' Foyesade Oluokun: Could return vs. Packers
Rotowire
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.

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.

Jaguars' Foyesade Oluokun: Placed on IR with foot injury
Rotowire
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.

Rotowire
Oluokon notched 14 tackles (nine solo) and two passes defensed, including an interception that he returned for a 24-yard touchdown, in Thursday's 31-24 win over the Saints.
Oluokon caught a deflected ball and turned it back the other way, beating New Orleans' offense to the end zone for his first NFL touchdown. The 28-year-old linebacker also compiled a gaudy tackle total, but that's hardly unusual for Oluokon, who led the NFL in tackles each of the previous two seasons and holds the league lead again with 81 tackles (53 solo) in 2023, albeit with the rest of the league yet to play in Week 7.

Oluokun was especially productive following the Jaguars' Week 11 bye, as he averaged 12.9 tackles over the final nine games of the season, playoffs included.
