Foyesade Oluokun - Page 9 - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Picks up oblique injury Oluokon (oblique) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Will McFadden of the Falcons' official site reports.

Impact Oluokon joins Atlanta's extensive injury report after racking up eight tackles in Monday's loss to Green Bay. He was questionable heading into that game due to a hamstring injury, and while the linebacker is generally banged up, he's likely just getting a respite Wednesday after Monday's busy outing.

Eight tackles Monday Oluokun recorded eight tackles (five solo) across 61 defensive snaps in Monday's loss to the Packers.

Impact Oluokun was questionable heading into the contest as he was dealing with a hamstring injury, but he didn't appear to be slowed down during the game. He tied for the team-lead in tackles and played in 97 percent of the defensive snaps.

Cleared for Monday Oluokun (hamstring) will play in Monday's game versus the Packers, Vaughn McClure of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Oluokun was a limited practice participant all week, but he's made enough progress to suit up in Monday's game. The Yale product has recorded 12 tackles (nine solo) and three forced fumbles over just 64 defensive snaps this season, and he's expected to start at outside linebacker Monday.

Falcons rule out Koo, McKinley, Allen and Neal vs Packers

The Atlanta Falcons will be without kicker Younghoe Koo, defensive end Takk McKinley and safeties Ricardo Allen and Keanu Neal for Monday night’s game at Green Bay

OCTOBER 3, 2020 • Associated Press

Restricted in practice Oluokun (hamstring) was limited during Friday's practice session, Jason Butt of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Impact Oluokun exited during the second quarter of Atlanta's Week 2 loss to the Cowboys because of cramping, and he ultimately proved unable to return to that contest. Prior to last week's loss to the Bears, Oluokun was capable of logging consecutive limited sessions late in the week, but he was deemed inactive for the game. His status again remains up in the air for an upcoming Monday night showdown against the Packers, but he will be afforded the extra day, at least, to heal.

Out against Bears Oluokun (hamstring) has been listed among Atlanta's inactive players for Sunday's showdown with the Bears.

Impact The 25-year-old linebacker made an incredible impact in the early going against Dallas last week, forcing three fumbles on 18 defensive snaps. Oluokun was forced to exit the game due to cramping, but limited practice sessions Thursday and Friday provided optimism that he may be able to play against Chicago. With this update on his status, the Falcons are left thin at linebacker, and will now have to rely on fourth-round rookie Mykal Walker in a more integral role.

Falcons' Julio Jones still has chance to play against Bears

The Atlanta Falcons’ secondary will be without safety Ricardo Allen and cornerback Kendall Sheffield in Sunday’s game against the Chicago Bears

SEPTEMBER 25, 2020 • Associated Press

Deemed questionable for Sunday Oluokun (hamstring) is questionable for Sunday's game versus the Bears, Will McFadden of the Falcons' official site reports.

Impact Oluokun logged limited practices Thursday and Friday, so he could miss the first game of his NFL career. The third-year pro exited early in Week 2 after logging 18 defensive snaps, six tackles and three forced fumbles, but he'll likely handle a full workload if he's healthy. If he's forced to sit out, however, expect LaRoy Reynolds to start at outside linebacker.

SEPTEMBER 25, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Out Wednesday Oluokun (hamstring) did not participate during Wednesday's practice session, Kelsey Conway of the Falcons' official site reports.

Impact The Yale product has been impactful in the early going of his third pro campaign, recording six tackles and an onside kick recovery in the season opener against Seattle, as well as six tackles and an incredible three forced fumbles (on 18 defensive snaps) against the Cowboys on Sunday. Oluokun dealt with cramps as Week 2 wore along and had to be removed from the contest, but coach Dan Quinn has since said that he does not expect the 25-year-old to be out for an extended time. A practice appearance Thursday or Friday would indicate he's trending towards being active for a Week 3 tilt against Chicago.

SEPTEMBER 21, 2020 • Associated Press

Shouldn't be out long Coach Dan Quinn doesn't believe Oluokun (undisclosed) has a long-term injury, Tori McElhaney of The Athletic reports.

Impact Oluokun apparently left the game due to cramping, and the fact that Quinn reiterated that it wasn't serious is positive news. Wednesday's practice report will be more revealing, but Quinn is expected to provide another update before then.

SEPTEMBER 20, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable to return Oluokun (cramping) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Cowboys, Kelsey Conway of the Falcons' official site reports.

Impact The third-year linebacker made an immediate impact in Week 2 by causing two first-quarter fumbles, including one on his former high school teammate, Ezekiel Elliott. Oluokun was seen loosening up on a stationary bike on the sideline late in the second quarter, but it remains to be seen if he will retake the field to begin the second half.

SEPTEMBER 20, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Contributes in multiple areas Oluokun collected six total tackles and an onside kick recovery during Sunday's 38-25 loss to the Seahawks.

Impact Oluokun and Younghoe Koo have a magical special-teams rapport working, as the two have collectively accounted for three onside kick recoveries since Week 13 of last season. The third-year linebacker made his presence felt on the defensive side as well Sunday, collecting six-plus tackles for the second time over his past three regular-season appearances. Oluokun was pivotal in helping contain Seattle's potent rushing attack to just 84 rushing yards, and Week 2 presents another formidable opponent, as Atlanta travels to Dallas to take on Ezekiel Elliott and the Cowboys.

Back from COVID-19 list Oluokun was activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday, Jason Butt of The Athletic reports.

Impact The 2018 sixth-round pick has gained full clearance after spending just four days on the reserve/COVID-19 list. He's on track to start at outside linebacker for Atlanta when the 2020 season kicks off.

Lands on COVID-19 list Oluokun (illness) has been placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list, Vaughn McClure of ESPN.com reports.

Impact The Falcons' starting outside linebacker certainly did not have a positive COVID-19 test -- or recent contact with someone who tested positive -- on his wish list, but unfortunately his 25th birthday has been saddled with disappointing news. Oluokun becomes the sixth Atlanta player to land on the reserve/COVID-19 list since in-person player screenings commenced Monday, and he joins Tyeler Davison as the team's two defensive starters to be sidelined thus far.
