    Christian Wilkins, NFL defensive tackle, being suddenly released by the Las Vegas Raiders, is all that any football fan can talk about. While it is not exactly confirmed as to what the cause of his release actually is, some sources claim that it is because of an incident in the locker room where the defensive tackle kissed another player on the forehead.

    The player whom Wilkins kissed did not like it, which led to his being released from the Raiders, according to sports reporter Adam Schefter. Schefter claimed that an insider source told him about the incident and shared it in the ‘Pat McAfee Show’, without proper confirmation.

    “From speaking to people inside the Raiders locker room… They say that Christian Wilkins playfully went to kiss a teammate on the top of his head… They say that player took offense to it and that’s what everybody has been dancing around.” Adam Schefter said on the ‘Pat McAfee Show’.

    However, Schefter’s claims about Christian Wilkins are not exactly credible and definitely not confirmed by the team. ProFootballTalk owner Mike Florio recently called out Schefter for his claims about Wilkins on X.

    “That is definitely NOT the story that has been making the rounds.” Mike Florio wrote on ProFootballTalk’s X account.

    While Adam Schefter’s statements about Christian Wilkins may also be true, there are reports that the Las Vegas Raiders released the defensive tackle as a result of his physical state. Right before the training camp could kick off, the Raiders placed Wilkins on the Physically Unable To Perform list.

    Christian Wilkins’ Fracture Did Not Heal Thoroughly

    Towards the end of last year, Christian Wilkins suffered a Jones fracture, which occurs in the fifth metatarsal bone. The fracture required surgery but the recovery did not go as planned. The Raiders management apparently wanted Wilkins to undergo another surgery for the fracture but the defensive tackle was definitely not ready to do this.

    This conflict was the main reason as to why the Las Vegas Raiders decided to do away with Christian Wilkins before the regular season could kick off. However, there are many who believe Adam Schefter’s statements that Wilkins was released because he kissed another player in the locker room.

    Wilkins has been playing for the Raiders since the previous season, but his very first year with the team certainly did not go too well. Meanwhile, the Raiders will be going ahead without Wilkins as they start the regular season with a matchup against the Patriots in Week 1.
