Jacksonville Jaguars linebacker Foye Oluokun had never missed a start for the team in 39 games and had played in 100 of 101 games in his seven NFL seasons.
He's now going to miss the next four. Oluokun, who injured his foot in Monday's loss to Buffalo, was placed on the reserve/injured list on Saturday and won't be available until at least the Oct. 27 home game against the Green Bay Packers .
Jacksonville Jaguars linebacker Foye Oluokun has started 69 consecutive NFL games. His streak will be broken on Sunday after the Jaguars place him on the NFL's reserve/injured list.
Oluokun had made 69 consecutive starts for Atlanta and Jacksonville, stretching back to week three in 2020 when he was inactive for the Falcons. He led the Jaguars in tackles the last two seasons and was the team's tackle leader through the first four games.

What other moves did the Jaguars make?
-
They signed tight end Josiah Deguara to the 53-man roster.
-
They put cornerback Christian Braswell and linebacker Tanner Muse to the active roster for the Texans game, via the standard elevation.
-
They have downgraded safety Darnell Savage (quadricep) from questionable to out and he will not travel with the team. Savage, who played with a non-contact jersey for most of training camp to protect a knee injury, has played in only the opener against Miami , with two passes defensed.
Josiah Deguara played with Aaron Rodgers at Green Bay
Deguara was drafted by Green Bay from Cincinnati in the third round in 2020 and caught 47 passes for 436 yards and two TDs in 50 games. He was elevated to the active roster last week and caught one pass for 8 yards.
Deguara was All-AAC as a senior with the Bearcats.
Christian Braswell was cut, brought back
Braswell was a sixth-round pick by the Jags in 2023 and played in three games last season before an injury knocked him out for the year. He was cut in August, brought back to the practice squad and elevated before week two. He's made five tackles in two games.
