While it is too early to speculate how serious or how long Wilkins will be out, it’s always concerning when players are ruled out of the game quickly and that was the case with Wilkins.
Wilkins is in his first season with Las Vegas after signing as a free agent from Miami Dolphins. Wilkins signed a four-year, $110 million deal worth the Raiders.
Las Vegas is playing without several players Sunday because of injuries and injuries have been an issue all of the regular season. So, the team must hope Wilkins’ injury isn’t overly serious.
