Christian Wilkins, the Las Vegas Raiders' defensive tackle, is set to miss an extended period after undergoing surgery for a broken foot. This injury, sustained during a recent game against the Denver Broncos, will place him on injured reserve, sidelining him for at least four games.

The Raiders are already dealing with significant injuries on their defensive line, including Malcolm Koonce's season-ending ACL tear and Maxx Crosby's recent high ankle sprain. Wilkins, a key free-agent acquisition, had been performing well this season with two sacks and six quarterback hits.
