Good to go
Oloukun (oblique) is absent from Atlanta's injury report Wednesday, William McFadden of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: Oloukun appears on track to suit up unrestricted Week 1 and should play a starting role in Atlanta's defense. The 2018 sixth-round pick missed much of the preseason due to an oblique strain, but he managed to suit up for the Falcons' final exhibition game against the Jaguars. Oloukun projects to be one of the focal contributors in Atlanta's 4-3 defense this season.

Returns after three-week hiatus
Oluokun collected one tackle during Thursday's 31-12 preseason win against the Jaguars.
Analysis: Oluokun returned from an oblique injury that had held him out of game action since Aug. 1, providing Atlanta with assurance that one of its central contributors to the front seven is back in the mix prior to Week 1. The former Yale Bulldog came in with tempered expectations as a sixth-round draft choice coming out of the Ivy League, but he proved to be the real deal as the season wore on in 2018. Oluokun started six of Atlanta's final eight games and finished three tackles behind De'Vondre…read more

Misses third consecutive exhibition
Oluokun (oblique) sat out Thursday's preseason game against Washington.
Analysis: The second-year linebacker has been unable to return to preseason action since popping up on the injury report with an oblique strain shortly after the Hall of Fame Game. Oluokun was a bright spot in a mostly bleak 2018 campaign for the Falcons defense, transforming from sixth-round draft choice to a starter for six out of eight games to wrap up the year.

Out with oblique strain
Oluokun did not practice Sunday due to an oblique strain, Jason Butt of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Coach Dan Quinn did not provide any additional details on Oluokun's injury. Depending on the severity of the strain, Oluokun could be facing an extended absence from training camp.

Second-leading tackler in Week 17
Oluokun collected seven tackles during Sunday's 34-32 win against the Buccaneers.
Analysis: The 2018 sixth-round pick from Yale vastly exceeded expectations in his rookie campaign, starting in six of Atlanta's final eight games and finishing just three tackles behind De'Vondre Campbell for most on the team this season. With Duke Riley's persistent struggles throughout his first two years in the NFL, there is no more qualified candidate on the roster than Oluokun to start alongside Deion Jones and Campbell at linebacker in 2019.

Second-leading tackler in loss
Oluokun registered nine combined tackles during Sunday's 26-16 loss to the Ravens.
Analysis: Oluokun has demonstrated an insatiable nose for the football of late, collecting 29 combined tackles over Atlanta's past three outings, and most recently snuffing out four plays for a gain of three or fewer yards during Sunday's loss to Baltimore. The sixth-round rookie has become a fixture in Atlanta's front seven as the season continues to wear on, fielding 77.4 percent of the defensive snaps over the Falcons' past four games, compared to a 50.8 percent snap share between Week 9 and Week 12.…read more

Drawing praise from head coach
Head coach Dan Quinn tabbed Oluokun as a "sure tackler" before Thursday's practice, Vaughn McClure of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Oluokun has been a pleasant surprise in an otherwise turbulent 2018 for the Falcons defense. A sixth-round pick in April's draft, the Yale product has logged three consecutive starts (one all year prior) and is on pace for over 90 tackles despite fielding just 49.7 percent of the defensive snaps this season. On Sunday, he and the Atlanta front seven will try to prevent a red-hot Gus Edwards from exceeding 100 rushing yards for the third straight game.

Leads defense in tackles
Oluokun had 10 tackles (five solo) in Thursday's loss to the Saints.
Analysis: Oluokun continues to find himself around the ball as he has been the Falcons' first- or second-leading tackler for five of the last six games. The 23-year-old has started the last three games and though Deion Jones could see his first action since Week 1 next week, Jones continues to nurse the foot injury that's sidelined him all season.

Team's leading tackler in Week 11
Oluokun racked up 10 combined tackles during Sunday's 22-19 loss to Dallas.
Analysis: Oluokun has had a sharp nose for the football of late, finishing as the Falcons' first or second-leading tackler in four of his past five games. With Deion Jones (foot) still sidelined despite his recent return from injured reserve, the rookie was provided with a lion's share of work, but Atlanta's struggles in containing opposing running backs persisted, as Ezekiel Elliott accounted for more than 200 offensive yards with a rushing score. Even if Jones returns in Week 12 against New Orleans,…read more

Logs second career start
Oluokun collected three tackles during Sunday's 28-16 loss to the Browns.
Analysis: Oluokun paced all Falcons linebackers with 45 defensive snaps, recording his second start over the past five games during Sunday's loss to Cleveland. From the Ivy League, to a sixth-round draft choice and eventual fill-in for the Deion Jones (foot), Oluokun has played 44 percent of the defensive snaps thus far in 2018. With Jones eligible to suit up Sunday against Dallas upon his recent return from the injured reserve, Oluokun is liable to see a reduction in his workload, though he's carved out…read more

Another impressive performance for Yale standout
Oluokun tallied six combined tackles, with one tackle for loss during Sunday's 38-14 victory against the Redskins.
Analysis: The rookie sixth-round draft choice keeps rolling, with five-plus tackles in four straight games for an Atlanta defense that's held opponents to 34 total points over the past two outings, compared to 34.8 points allowed per game between Week 2 and Week 6. Oluokun was instrumental in slowing down Washington's rushing attack, containing Redskins running backs Kapri Bibbs, Samaje Perine and Adrian Peterson to fewer than 60 combined yards on the ground. Next comes a matchup with bruiser Nick Chubb,…read more
