Darren Waller's Hamstring Woes Continue to Plague Raiders

Waller Ruled Out for Monday Night's Game

Strain May Not Actually Be Hamstring Issue

Darren Waller's tenure with the Giants was cut short by a hamstring injury, and he missed most of training camp with a similar issue this year. Now, he's been ruled out for Monday night's game against the Chargers with yet another hamstring injury.

Waller has been dealing with hamstring issues for the past three years, limiting him to just 12 games and 52 catches in 2021. The 29-year-old tight end is a key part of the Raiders' offense, and his absence will be a major blow.

Waller has been working with a new trainer in recent months, and he is hopeful that the issue is not actually a hamstring injury. However, it's clear that the All-Pro tight end is still not 100% healthy.

The Raiders are already without their starting quarterback, Derek Carr, and Waller's absence makes their offense even more vulnerable. The Chargers have a strong defense, and the Raiders will need to find a way to score points without their top two offensive weapons.
