Story Image Not Available
Our Summary
Las Vegas Raiders coach Pete Carroll expressed cautious optimism regarding defensive tackle Christian Wilkins' recovery from a Jones fracture in his left foot. Although Wilkins attended practice, he was not ready to participate. Carroll emphasized the lengthy and challenging nature of the rehab but noted that time is on their side. Wilkins, who signed a lucrative four-year deal last year, had his first season cut short by this injury. He was part of a group of Raiders players, including Malcolm Koonce and Maxx Crosby, who suffered significant injuries last season. Crosby, however, reported full recovery and expressed enthusiasm about his current condition.
