HENDERSON, Nev. -- First, Malcolm Koonce went down with a possible season-ending knee injury in practice Thursday and was put on injured reserve two days later.
Then, Tyree Wilson was lost to a knee injury that limited him to six defensive snaps in the Las Vegas Raiders' season-opening loss at the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday.
"We got thin real quick," Raiders coach Antonio Pierce said Monday of defensive end depth.
"Telesco's working on that right now, currently," he added, in reference to general manager Tom Telesco scouring the waiver wire and the viability of free agents -- players such as, possibly, former Raiders edge rusher Yannick Ngakoue, who had 10 sacks for Las Vegas in 2021.
