The Las Vegas Raiders placed defensive tackle Christian Wilkins on the physically unable to perform list Friday.
Wilkins is working his way back from a season-ending injury to his left foot, suffered in the Raiders’ 34-18 loss to the Denver Broncos on Oct. 6.
He recorded 17 tackles and two sacks in five games (all starts) while playing in the first season of a four-year, $110 million contract with $84.75 million guaranteed.
Wilkins, 29, totaled 372 tackles, 22.5 sacks, four forced fumbles and six fumble recoveries in 86 career games (82 starts) with the Miami Dolphins and Raiders. He was selected by the Dolphins with the 13th overall pick of the 2019 NFL Draft out of Clemson.
Players on the PUP list after the deadline for the 53-man roster must miss at least four games of the regular season before they can return to action.
