Tuesday brought unfortunate news for former Clemson defensive standout Christian Wilkins, who will be out indefinitely after sustaining a foot injury in the Las Vegas Raiders’ recent game against the Denver Broncos.
NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported that Wilkins, who suffered a Jones Fracture, is headed to injured reserve and will undergo surgery. This setback comes during his first season with the Raiders, following a major free-agent signing in the offseason.
In his first five games with Las Vegas, the 6-foot-4, 310-pound Wilkins contributed 17 tackles, including two for loss, as well as two sacks and six quarterback hits. A former first-round pick in 2019, Wilkins spent the first five years of his career with the Miami Dolphins, where he recorded 353 tackles, 20.5 sacks, and 43 tackles for loss across 81 games (77 starts) before joining the Raiders.
