Jaguars' Foyesade Oluokun: Double-digit tackles in finale
Rotowire
Oluokun tallied 10 tackles (three solo) during Jacksonville's Week 18 loss to Indianapolis.
Oluokun posted double-digit tackles in the final two games of the season as he finished the campaign with 108 total stops, which ends a three-year run with at least 170 tackles. Part of the 27-year-old's production drop was due to a foot injury that sidelined him for four contests, but his 8.3 tackles per game was still his lowest figure since 2020. Oluokun inked a three-year, $30 million extension with the Jaguars last March and could be back amongst the leading tacklers in the league in 2025.

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.

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.
