Darren Waller Injury: Raiders TE Ruled Out for Week 5
Strained IT Band
Las Vegas Raiders tight end Darren Waller has been diagnosed with a strained IT band in his knee, according to NFL Network insiders Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero. Waller was ruled out of Monday night's game against the Kansas City Chiefs after just six plays.
Injury History
This marks the latest in a series of injuries for Waller. He missed last week's practice with a lingering hamstring injury and was limited in practice all week. In Week 2, he suffered an ankle injury that forced him to leave the game. Waller has been a valuable target for quarterback Derek Carr and his absence will be a significant loss for the Raiders' offense.
Conclusion
Darren Waller's injury woes continue to plague the Raiders. Just as he seemed to be rounding into form, this setback is a major disappointment. His absence will undoubtedly impact the team's offensive production, leaving a void that will be difficult to fill. As the Raiders prepare for their Week 5 matchup, they must hope that Waller's recovery is swift and he can return to the field soon.
