According to Ian Rapoport, Raiders DT Christian Wilkins is out indefinitely and headed to the team’s injured reserve after undergoing surgery to repair a Jones fracture in his foot.
It’s a tough break for Las Vegas’ defense after signing him to a sizeable contract last offseason.
He will now miss at least four weeks on injured reserve as he recovers.
Wilkins, 28, is a former first-round pick of the Dolphins back in 2019 out of Clemson. He signed a four-year, $15,439,100 contract with Miami that included a $9,248,436 signing bonus and played out the deal.
He made a salary of $10,753,000 in 2023 under his fifth-year option. Las Vegas signed him to a four-year, $110 million deal including $84.75 million guaranteed in March.
In 2024, Wilkins has appeared in five games for the Raiders and recorded 17 tackles, two tackles for loss, and two sacks.
