The Tennessee **** ans coaching staff is not concerned about 2025 second-round NFL draft pick Femi Oladejo’s recent absences from open practice after the first day of mandatory minicamp.
“It’s been unfortunate that he hasn’t been (at practice),” **** ans defensive coordinator Gus Bradley said on June 16. “But you do see it enough when you watch the tape (to) say ‘We have an idea.’”
That idea has yet to materialize in live practice reps this offseason.
The linebacker recorded 13 total tackles, two tackles for loss and two quarterback hits in 2025, before a season-ending right leg fracture against the Raiders in Week 6.
Under Bradley and new coach Robert Saleh’s leadership, Oladejo is transitioning from a 3-4 outside linebacker role to a more traditional defensive end role in the **** ans' new 4-3 defensive scheme.
