B757 Captain reported reviewing flight plan for the flight and noticed a chip inspection performed by Maintenance the day before. The flight crew received a RT OIL PRESS LOW EICAS message followed by a RED boxed 0 oil pressure indication in cruise. The engine was observed to roll back and failed. The flight crew decided to divert to the nearest suitable airport.

Narrative

Reviewed the flight plan for our trip to ZZZ and noticed a chip inspection performed by Maintenance the day before in ZZZ. During inspection we found metallic flakes on the high speed external gearbox and internal gearbox. Engine #2 materials identified as magnetic fines and metal flakes. In an interval of no more than 20 hours'. This inspection got my attention during my flight planning and I made a mental note. We departed ZZZ1 on a normal departure and climbed to our cruise altitude of FL280. We had checked in with ZZZZ Center and approximately XA:15 minutes into our flight we had a RT OIL PRESS LOW EICAS message followed by a red boxed 0 oil pressure indication. We referenced the QRH for ENGINE OIL PRESS and then the engine rolled back and failed. I made a priority call to ZZZZ Center and [requested priority handling] for an engine failure and immediately asked for a lower altitude.We completed the drift down checklist and descended to FL240. Due to the red oil pressure indication and the knowledge of metal detected on the inspection the day before; we decided that the engine would not be restarted and I wanted to completely secure the engine with the engine failure severe engine damage checklist to prevent any damage. We had a Company deadheading Line Check Pilot who introduced themself to us on the ground during the boarding process. I called them and requested their assistance on the flight deck as an additional crew member and an extra set of eyes and ears. We were roughly abeam ZZZ2; asked for the weather and messaged Dispatch of an engine failure and our intent to divert to ZZZ2. The Flight Attendants were briefed; we received landing data performance from Dispatch; briefed the approach and completed the rest of the checklist.Airport Rescue and Firefighting (ARFF) was requested upon landing. We continued the approach into ZZZ2 and safely landed on Runway XXL. We taxied off of XXL and requested that ARFF inspect our brakes. Our cockpit brake temp indicated that our hottest wheel was at '4' (300 degrees according to fire rescue) and did not get any hotter. We requested that ARFF follow us to the gate. We deplaned our aircraft and made phone calls to our Dispatcher and Chief Pilot for a debrief. I then spoke with Maintenance and briefed our Maintenance issue to the Technician. An alert was generated for a right engine low pressure indication followed by an engine fail. An alert was also generated for an overweight landing (approximately 216000 lbs.) resulting in a soft touchdown.
