The Raiders released Wilkins (foot) on Thursday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. It's shocking news, as the Raiders signed Wilkins to a five-year, $110 million dollar deal last March. Per Schefter, Las Vegas is releasing the defensive lineman with the designation of terminated vested veteran, and the organization voided the remaining $35.2 million of the guaranteed money left on his deal last month. Ian Rapoport of NFL Network adds that the Raiders and Wilkins have had an "ongoing dispute" over his foot injury, as Wilkins declined having a second surgery despite the team's request for him to go under the knife again to address the issue. Schefter reports that Wilkins filed a grievance with the NFLPA on Thursday, so it appears that the player and the organization are headed for a dispute over guaranteed money. Regardless of how that turns out, Wilkins' tenure with Las Vegas will end with him having played in just five games and tallying 17 tackles, including 2.0 sacks.

Wilkins (foot) was placed on the active/PUP list by the Raiders on Friday, Tashan Reed of The Athletic reports. As training camp approaches, the defensive tackle continues to bounce back from a Jones fracture that he suffered in his left foot last October, which required surgery and ended his 2024 campaign. Wilkins can be removed from the PUP list at any time between now and the start of the regular season, but for now, a timeline for his return to practice remains unclear.

Wilkins (foot) was inactive for the start of the Raiders' mandatory minicamp Tuesday, Ryan McFadden of ESPN.com reports. Wilkins is still dealing with a foot injury that he sustained against the Broncos in Week 5 last year, sidelining him for the rest of the campaign. The defensive tackle was without a return timeline during OTAs in May, and his availability for training camp in late July remains uncertain.

Wilkins is still dealing with his foot injury, Tashan Reed of The Athletic reports. Wilkins has yet to recover from a foot injury suffered in October of last year, and head coach Pete Carroll said there's currently no timetable on his return. If Wilkins is unable to get healthy in time for the start of the regular season, Leki Fotu could serve as one of the team's starting defensive tackles in his place.

Wilkins (foot) was placed on injured reserve Wednesday. Wilkins' move to IR shouldn't come as a surprise as he already underwent surgery Tuesday to repair a Jones Fracture in his foot. The Clemson product is expected to be facing an extended absence, although a firm timeline isn't yet available. His placement on injured reserve will guarantee he misses at least the Raiders' next four games though.
