The Las Vegas Raiders are pleased with the progress of second-year defensive end Tyree Wilson, who has stepped up significantly amid a wave of injuries on the team. His performance in Week 17 against the New Orleans Saints showcased his potential, as he recorded eight quarterback pressures, ranking second in the league for that week. Wilson's improvement is reflected in his 74.9 player grade from Pro Football Focus, indicating a strong end to the season.

Initially, Wilson had a slow start to his career after being selected seventh overall in the 2023 NFL Draft. However, Raiders head coach Antonio Pierce has noted his development, particularly in understanding game dynamics and recognizing offensive plays. Pierce highlighted Wilson's ability to read the game better, which has led to improved performance in both run and pass defense. As the season progresses, Wilson's increasing reps are expected to contribute positively to the team's overall performance.
