Defensive tackle trying to return from foot injury
There’s no other way to say it … Las Vegas Raiders fans are worried about Christian Wilkins’ return from a 2024 foot injury.
We recently asked our community members if they were concerned about the star defensive tackle’s injury status. The results were overwhelming.
In a poll with almost 700 votes, 71 percent of the voters explained there were, indeed, worried, while just 29 percent are confident Wilkins will be ready for the start of the regular season, September 7 at the New England Patriots.
In May, Las Vegas coach Pete Carroll addressed Wilkins’ return from injury for the first time as the coach called the process “challenging.” Carroll didn’t elaborate much on the extend of Wilkins’ setback. But the Las Vegas Review-Journal reported that the belief was Wilkins, who signed a four-year, $110 million free-agent contract with Las Vegas in 2024, either had an inserted screw break or an actual bone break during his rehab. The report stated the team is hopeful he can return to practice in August, weeks before the start of the season. He was seen wearing a waking boot in late June.
I understand why fans are concerned. But the truth is, we just have to see what happens during training camp and then go from there.
