FOYESADE OLUOKUN NEWS

Nursing hamstring injury Oluokun did not participate in Monday's practice session due to hamstring tightness, Demetrius Harvey of The Florida Times-Union reports.

Impact 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.

Totals 173 tackles Oluokun finished the season with 173 tackles (111 solo), 2.5 sacks, one interception and one forced fumble in 17 games last season.

Impact The 28-year-old was unable to top 180 tackles for the third straight season, but he still led the Jaguars and ranked fourth in the NFL. Oluokun is entering the final year of the three-year, $45 million pact he signed with Jacksonville in 2022, and he should again be a top IDP producer again during 2024.

Double-digit tackles in loss Oluokun recorded 13 tackles (eight solo) in Monday's 34-31 overtime loss to the Bengals.

Impact As per usual, Oluokun was a very active man in Week 13, recording double-digit tackles for the second straight week and eighth time in 12 contests this season. The linebacker is now up to 131 takedowns, including 2.5 sacks, while also compiling five pass deflections, an interception, a force fumble and two fumble recoveries so far in 2023.

Productive in loss Oluokun tallied nine total tackles (six solo), including three tackles for loss and two sacks in Sunday's 34-3 loss to the 49ers.

Impact Oluokun fell one short of double-digit tackles for the first time in four weeks during Sunday's blowout loss, and he's been able to record 10 or more tackles in six of the Jaguars' nine games thus far. The Yale product was also able to get after the quarterback in Week 10, recording his first two sacks of the season. Expect Oluokun to continue racking up tackles and making big plays for Jacksonville's defense going forward.

Leads team in tackles Week 8 Oluokun had 11 tackles (nine solo) and a forced fumble in Sunday's 20-10 win over the Steelers.

Impact It's the third game in a row that Oluokun has registered double-digit tackles and the sixth time this season he has hit that mark. He leads the team with 92 tackles -- 44 ahead of Devin Lloyd, who sits in second on the team, 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. The Jaguars have a bye in Week 10 against the 49ers.

Scores first career TD on pick six 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.

Impact 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.

FEBRUARY 25, 2023 • SACBEE.COM

Adds additional void years Oluokun restructured his contract Saturday to create close to $11 million in cap space for the Jaguars, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Impact The NFL's reigning leading tackler added additional void years onto the three-year, $45 million contract signed last offseason. It's a prudent move for a Jaguars franchise that is riding a wave of optimism following a surprise postseason appearance, but also a necessary one given the team is currently nearly $11 million over the cap.
