Ample opportunity for other Raiders’ defensive tackles to impress

Christian Wilkins out of his walking boot and dancing before training camp was an encouraging video, wasn’t it?

Apparently, not enough as the Las Vegas Raiders released the high-priced veteran defensive tackle late Thursday.

Pete Carroll and his Silver & Black marauders now move on with a starting role wide open at the defensive tackle group. It’s not ideal to wax a $110-million defender just one year into a high-priced pact. But this present ample opportunity for other defensive tackles to gobble up snaps and make an impression on Las Vegas’ head coach.
