Report: Raiders DT Christian Wilkins (foot) out indefinitely, going to IR

Las Vegas Raiders defensive tackle Christian Wilkins will be out indefinitely after having surgery for a Jones fracture in his foot and will go on injured reserve, NFL Network reported Tuesday.

Wilkins, in his first season with the Raiders (2-3) after signing a four-year, $110 million contract with $84.75 million guaranteed, was injured in Sunday’s 34-18 loss to the host Denver Broncos.

Wilkins, 28, has started all five games and has 17 tackles, including two sacks.

The Miami Dolphins selected Wilkins 13th overall in the 2019 NFL Draft. He started 82 of 86 games for Miami and totaled 355 tackles, 43 tackles for loss, 20.5 sacks, 50 quarterback hits, one interception, four forced fumbles and six fumble recoveries.

The Dolphins didn’t use their franchise tag on Wilkins, who set a career high with nine sacks in 2023, and he became a free agent.
