It had been about nine months since Las Vegas Raiders rookie defensive lineman Tyree Wilson had stepped on a football field with pads on, but Wilson finally got to join his teammates on the practice field last Wednesday during the Raiders training camp.
The top 10 pick suffered a foot injury in mid-November of his last season at Texas Tech and missed the Red Raiders’ final three games of the year. He later had surgery to repair the ailment, causing him to miss all pre-draft workouts—except for the bench press at the combine, where he put up 23 reps—and all of the Raiders’ spring practices.
