Christian Wilkins Returns to NFL, Signs with New Team

0:00It's March 20th for the NFL. Let's get into it. Free agent defensive tackle Christian Wilkins plans to return for the 2026 NFL season while he recovers from a serious foot injury. The 30-year-old star was let go by the Las Vegas Raiders back in July 2025. He first dealt with the issue early in his 2024 season, suffering a Jones fracture in his left foot that sidelineed him. Now in the offseason, interest is high with 26 teams reaching out, all holding off until he's clear to play. Reports say Wilkins can sign wherever he wants as soon as he's ready and he's fully committed to getting back on the field. With his track record, expect him to join a new squad soon and bolster their defensive line once rehab wraps up.
