The Las Vegas Raiders defense took a bit hit with the news that DL Christian Wilkins will head to IR after suffering a Jones Fracture in the Raiders’ win over the Denver Broncos.

Wilkins had played well for the Raiders the last three games. After joining the team as a free agent from the Miami Dolphins, he’s tallied two sacks and eight tackles the last three weeks, including at least 0.
