Wilkerson signed a reserve/future contract with the Raiders on Monday. Wilkerson has spent most of the last two seasons in Las Vegas, mainly on their practice squad. The 27-year-old appeared in three games for the Raiders last season though, making two catches on three targets for 18 yards and a touchdown.
Wilkerson reverted to the Raiders' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log. Wilkerson was limited to nine snaps on special teams in Sunday's 28-13 loss to the Buccaneers. It was the third and final time the Raiders were allowed to elevate Wilkerson from the practice squad, and Las Vegas would have to signed the 27-year-old wide receiver to the active roster in order for him to keep playing in black and silver.
The Raiders elevated Wilkerson from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday. It's the third and final time Wilkerson can be elevated by the Raiders from the practice squad. He was last elevated for Week 7 against the Rams, during which he logged 24 snaps (18 on offense, six on special teams) but did not show up on the box score. Wilkerson's elevation gives the Raiders insurance at wide receiver in case Jakobi Meyers (ankle) is unable to play against the Buccaneers on Sunday.
Wilkerson reverted to the Raiders' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log. Wilkerson was elevated to the active roster for the second week in a row, failing to record any stats in the team's 20-15 loss to the Rams. The wide receiver played 18 of the team's 79 offensive snaps, which was the fourth-highest total amongst players at his position. With Davante Adams now with the Jets and Jakobi Meyers (ankle) still banged up, it's possible that Wilkerson is active again in Week 8 versus Kansas City.
Wilkerson was elevated from the Raiders' practice squad to the active roster Saturday. It'll be the second-straight week that Wilkerson has been elevated from the practice squad. It comes in the wake of Davante Adams being traded to the Jets on Tuesday and Jakobi Meyers (ankle) being listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Rams. Wilkerson caught two passes (on three targets) for 18 yards and a touchdown during the Raiders' Week 6 loss to the Steelers.
Wilkerson reverted to Las Vegas' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log. With Davante Adams (hamstring) and Jakobi Meyers (ankle) both out Week 6 against Pittsburgh, Wilkerson was brought up from the practice squad and played on 27 of the Raiders' 63 offensive snaps. He caught just two passes (on three targets) for 18 yards but accounted for one of the team's two touchdowns with a nine-yard score. The elevation was Wilkerson's first of the campaign, and he could be called upon again Week 7 against the Rams if Adams and/or Meyers misses another contest.
Wilkerson caught two of three targets for 18 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 32-13 loss to the Steelers. Wilkerson, who was elevated from the practice squad for Sunday's contest, found the end zone in his first action of the season on a nine-yard pass from quarterback Aidan O'Connell, which came on a fourth and two with less than five minutes remaining in the fourth quarter. If at least one of Jakobi Meyers (ankle) or Davante Adams (hamstring) remains out for the Raiders' Week 7 matchup against the Rams, Wilkerson could once again see himself elevated from the practice squad.
Wilkerson was elevated from the practice squad Saturday ahead of Sunday's game against the Steelers. Wilkerson made a pair of appearances with the Raiders in 2023 but has yet to be active on game day in 2024. With Jakobi Meyers (ankle) officially listed as doubtful, Wilkerson has a chance to change that in Week 6.
The Raiders signed Wilkerson to the practice squad Wednesday. Wilkerson was on the Raiders' practice squad in 2023 and played 40 offensive snaps across two regular-season appearances. He finished the preseason with seven catches (on 13 targets) for 69 yards and one touchdown across three games, but it wasn't enough for him to crack Las Vegas' 53-man roster. Wilkerson could be promoted to the active roster during the regular season should any of the Raiders' wide receivers miss time.
