Las Vegas Raiders star defensive tackle Christian Wilkins (foot) is out indefinitely after having surgery to fix a Jones fracture in his foot that he suffered in the Week 5 loss to the division-rival Denver Broncos, according to sources. It's a huge blow in the middle of the Raiders' defense after they signed him to a big-money deal in free agency in the offseason. Wilkins will head to Injured Reserve and miss at least the next four games, and likely more. The 28-year-old former 13th overall pick by the Miami Dolphins in 2019 out of Clemson had 17 tackles (11 solo), two sacks and six QB hits in his five games with the Raiders this year before getting hurt. A Raiders defense that had already been vulnerable on the ground will now be a much better matchup for opposing running backs. Expect Adam Butler and John Jenkins to see more action at D tackle with Wilkins out for the foreseeable future in Vegas.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBallerRead More News
