New sod dying…

We recently had our yard in Southwest Missouri sodded with a Tall Fescue mix. It looked fair when it was laid, but now, 5 days later, there are several brown sections. We have watered as required and have even had rain a couple of times. Part of the yard is rooted and already needing to be mowed! We used a grass killer on the entire yard about 6 weeks before the work was done, but we had the whole yard plowed up and at least 4 inches of new dirt spread over the entire yard. Should we be concerned? What can we do?
