Foye Oluokun has been fantastic in preseason camp for the Falcons and many believe he has actually outplayed the current starter at outside linebacker, Duke Riley. He was the top performing defender in the Falcons exhibition against the Jets as ranked by Pro Football Focus. Oluokun unfortunately suffered an injury on a special teams play in the Falcons contest last week and was absent from practice on Monday and Tuesday this week. Let’s hope he can bounce back to secure his spot on the 53 man roster and contend for the starting spot. Jaeden Graham and Matt Oplinger both appear to be on the roster bubble for the Falcons and Cardinals respectively.
The Yale-Brown scrimmage in Providence on Saturday is not open to the public.

That’s to damn bad..!! I was looking forward to going to that. I have to make the drive to Worcester then.?
Contact somebody on the staff and see if you can get a pass or otherwise be admitted as a member of the Yale football family.
EOE, I tried I heard family members aren’t being admitted either. I left messages no return calls. Estes doesn’t want to have anything divulged. I appreciate that though.
Both Yale and Brown coaches prefer no spectators or press for these scrimmages. They want to play primarily younger players, and they don’t want the distractions of “who won” or “what was the score.”
Jaeden Graham was Atlanta’s leading receiver last night with 3 receptions for 36 yards with the longest being for 23 yards.
Matt Oplinger recorded one solo tackle for Arizona.
Foye Oluokun apparently didn’t play as he had no tackles. He is nursing a minor ankle injury sustained in the previous game.
Looks like Foye made the roster.
