Raiders' Christian Wilkins Out Indefinitely After Foot Surgery
The defensive tackle, a key free-agent acquisition for Las Vegas, will miss significant time due to a Jones fracture injury.
- Christian Wilkins, who signed a four-year, $110 million contract with the Raiders, is set to miss at least four games after being placed on injured reserve.
- Wilkins sustained a Jones fracture during the Raiders' recent loss to the Denver Broncos, leading to surgery and an indefinite recovery period.
- The injury adds to the Raiders' defensive woes, with other key players like Malcolm Koonce and Divine Deablo also sidelined.
- In his first season with Las Vegas, Wilkins recorded 17 tackles and two sacks over five games before the injury.
- The Raiders, currently 2-3, face further challenges as they prepare to host the Pittsburgh Steelers without Wilkins and other injured players.
