Overview

  • The Las Vegas Raiders officially moved Wilkins to the Physically Unable to Perform list on July 18, ensuring he will miss at least the start of training camp.
  • Wilkins suffered a Jones fracture in Week 5 of 2024, a break that required surgery and ended his debut season with the Raiders.
  • Despite intensive rehabilitation efforts this offseason, he was observed using a walking boot and has not yet resumed full football activities.
  • Coach Pete Carroll has described his recovery as a long, challenging process and confirmed that Wilkins is not yet cleared for on-field work.
  • The PUP designation allows the Raiders to activate Wilkins at any point during camp once he obtains medical clearance.
