Darren Waller Exits Week 5 vs. Chiefs with Hamstring Injury, Ruled Out
Las Vegas Raiders Tight End Expected to Miss Significant Time
Injury Update
Las Vegas Raiders tight end Darren Waller left the team's Week 5 matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs with a hamstring injury and was ruled out for the remainder of the game. Waller had been dealing with the injury throughout the week and missed most of training camp as a result. After the game, head coach Josh McDaniels stated that Waller is expected to miss significant time due to the injury.
Waller is a crucial part of the Raiders offense and his absence will be a major blow to the team. He is the team's leading receiver and has been a consistent target for quarterback Derek Carr. Waller's injury will also put more pressure on the other receivers, including Davante Adams and Hunter Renfrow, to step up and produce.
The Raiders are now 1-4 on the season and will face the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 6. It remains to be seen how the team will adjust without Waller on the field.
