Raiders, Texans Wednesday Week 7 injury report: TE Darren Waller not practicing with hamstring injury

Foster Moreau returned to practice today while Darren Waller still sidelined with a hamstring injury

When Darren Waller left the Raiders’ week five game against the Chiefs, head coach Josh McDaniels said he didn’t think the tight end’s hamstring injury was “super significant”. That raised hopes that Waller might be able to heal up over the bye week and return quickly. As of Wednesday he was still sidelined.

Offering some good news was the return of Foster Moreau (knee) to practice. With both Waller and Moreau out last week, the Raiders were down to just TE Jesper Horsted.

Moreau was limited in practice as was LB Jayon Brown (hamstring) and WR Mack Hollins (heel).

Missing for the Texas was former Raiders DT Maliek Collins (knee) along with DL Jerry hughes (knee) and WR Chris Moore (hip).

Additionally, CB Anthony Averett and WR DJ Turner practiced for the first time since being placed on injured reserve following the season opener. They would not have shown up on the injury report as they must be added back to the active roster; something the team has 21 days to do as of today.
