Darren Waller injury update: Las Vegas Raiders get good news about tight end

It’s always a terrifying thing to see a player suffer a knee injury.

It seems as if anytime a player suffers a knee injury, there’s the fear that they may not be able to play for the remainder of the season. Or there’s a great chance that they’ll miss a fairly significant amount of time as they work to recover.

Given that this particular injury isn’t quite as bad as anyone could have expected, the Raiders can take a deep breath.

It’s not totally clear how long the Raiders will miss Waller, or whether or not this injury will impact him in any significant manner once he’s able to get back on the field. But it’s clear that Waller didn’t suffer anything severe. And maybe he’ll be recovered in time for the Raiders to have him play in their next game at home against the Washington Football Team on Sunday, Dec. 5.
