The injuries for Raiders star players continue to stack up. Christian Wilkins left Sunday’s game against the Broncos and didn’t return. It turns out he broke a bone in his foot that required surgery and has been placed on injured reserve.
A trip to IR means Wilkins will be out at least four weeks and there is currently no specific timetable for recovery. Though Wilkins thinks he’ll be back once he comes off IR.
“Christian right away went and got it fixed,” said Pierce. “Talking about he’ll be back in a couple weeks.”
The Raiders made Wilkins their big splash free agent addition this offseason, signing the former Dolphins star to a five-year, $110 million deal.
Wilkins will be replaced in the lineup by Adam Butler.
