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.
