Darren Waller's Injury Status Remains Uncertain

Ongoing Hamstring Issues Impact Tight End's Availability

Paragraph 1:

Las Vegas Raiders tight end Darren Waller's injury status remains uncertain heading into Week 6. Waller exited Monday's game against the Kansas City Chiefs with a hamstring injury and did not return. The injury occurred after Waller had played just six snaps. Waller has been dealing with hamstring issues for the past three years and missed 12 games last season due to the injury. He was also limited to five games this season before landing on injured reserve with a lingering hamstring injury.

Paragraph 2:

Despite the ongoing hamstring issues, Waller has expressed optimism about his recovery. He told reporters on Wednesday that he has overcome his hamstring injury and is ready to go for Week 1 against the Los Angeles Chargers. However, Raiders interim head coach Rich Bisaccia said on Monday that he was hopeful Waller would be able to play this week. The team's medical staff will continue to evaluate Waller's injury and make a decision on his availability later this week.
