It's looking more and more like the Las Vegas Raiders' decision to release star defensive tackle Christian Wilkins went beyond disagreements over the rehabilitation of a foot injury he suffered last season.

Las Vegas Raiders defensive tackle said the team moved on from the Christian Wilkins release. He instead used the platform to urge people to get treatment for mental health illnesses.

Christian Wilkins' tenure with the Las Vegas Raiders surprisingly came to an end on July 24 when he was released. The defensive tackle had been considered the crown jewel of the Raiders' 2024 free agent class when signed.
