Raiders Hopeful Tight End Darren Waller Active on Sunday

The Las Vegas Raiders playoff hopes lie in the hands of a Sunday night showdown against AFC rival Los Angeles Chargers.

The Silver and Black want as many weapons as possible on their squad.

A major player who might be activated this week is tight end Darren Waller, who has missed the last five games with back and knee injuries combined with entering COVID-19 protocols last week.

Raiders Interim Head Coach Rich Bisaccia is hopeful Waller will be active on Sunday.

“We were hoping to have him back in the walk-through practice of Wednesday last week, so we are even more anticipating that we have a chance to get him back for this week,” Bisaccia said via Vic Tafur.

“Hopefully if we get him in Wednesday’s practice, he feels a little bit better about how it feels when he moves around, then we’ll be really excited about what Thursday and Friday could possibly look like.”

Waller would be a big weapon returning for the Raiders. He has 53 catches for 643 yards and two touchdowns this season.
